Grow Fresh Veggies on your deck with an Earth Box


I just wanted to share this with everyone since it's something my family loves.  We have started growing fresh veggies on our deck using an Earth Box.  Visit the website to learn more about them but basically it's a planter that allows you to grow large and healthy plants.  The first year we tried them we planted tomato plants in the Earth Box and some in a regular pot.  The Earth Box plants took over our deck and produced lots of yummy tomatoes where the plants in the regular pot were somewhat small and only produced a few tomatoes.  We were sold after that and now have cucumbers, squash, green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes and spinach growing on our deck this year.  Our only fear is that the plants will get so large that we won't have room to sit on our deck!  So if you are looking for a way to easily grow veggies for your family, make sure to read about the Earth Box.  The more boxes you buy, the cheaper they are.  One box usually runs around $30 but remember that you can use these boxes again and again!  You just need to buy the Earth Box Gardening Container System.  Don't purchase the package that includes dirt and fertiziler since you can buy these at your local Home Depot or Lowe's.  I'll send pictures of our plants once they start producing veggies.
