They killed my brother-in-law's tomatoes during a wet season when in-ground
plants did fine. I can't see how they're better than any other containers,
and may well be worse because of their 'lids' keeping soil too wet.
They ARE marketed well, although how an artificial growing system made
of plastic = 'earth' is beyond me.

Subject: [cg] "Earthboxes" - pro/con
Hi friends,
Any of you familiar with Earthboxes, the container garden system being
promoted by the UN? I'd like perspective on cost, how much can be
harvested per
box, good reasons to use them, reasons not to use them, etc. I need to
advise
a local project in Washington DC.
Thanks,
Judy Tiger, GROW, Washington, DC
