The EarthBox explained

My previous post mentioned the EarthBox (EB). The EB is basically a plastic tub with a grate in the bottom. The grate keeps the soil and roots off the bottom of the tub and allows water to get underneath. To plant vegetables, simply fill the tub with potting soil, add granular fertilizer, insert the plants, cover everything with a black plastic weed guard and PRESTO! The only thing left to do is water daily. With the EB it is impossible to over-water the plants. There is a tube at the top where water goes in and a spout near the bottom where water comes out. Add water until it trickles out the spout at the bottom. Plenty of water is retained for the plants and excess water pours out harmlessly. That's it. Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy! Do I sound like someone with a green thumb? Hardly! Any city slicker that can follow simple directions can have fresh vegetables grown right there at home. Here 'tis!
