Anyone have any experience with the EarthBox Garden Kits?

Considering them to replace the 4X4 gardens the kids are maintaining.

I have two homemade earth boxes. They have done well with strawberries. I think FReeper - who knows what evil? - does a lot of gardening in the earth boxes.

I have used Earth Boxes for several years...currently I am using them to grow 30 types of tomatoes. I also have one with telegraph cucumbers, and a couple of others with bush beans. I used to do peppers in them, as well; but switched to Smart Pots this year. No reason...just for the hell of it. The key to an Earth Box is FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. I still have my originals, and will be buying more next year if I can get more land.

I do. I use them, and everything I have ever planted in them did great. They really are just as good as they say they are. I usually put my tomatoes in mine, as they do so well, and I need all the tomatoes I can get. My entire yard, front and back, is covered with ages-old oak trees, so I can put these in whatever little sunny spots I can find.

I made one out of a storage tub, it works very well. The ready-made ones are a ripoff.
