The idea behind the earthbox though was to avoid flooding. The inventor who has been a tomato farmer lost his crop one year due to excessive flooding. One of the benefits of the system is that you avoid flooding which I think would be a concern also with container gardening.

They are pricey but if you take care of them I think you would have them for years to come. They are also made of recycled plastic also which is a good for the environment right? I don't think I would buy their soil or fertilizer just the planter box and watering system.

To me this is the easy gardener's way of doing thing. Remember guys I was using an nespresso pod system for almost ten years I like things simple and hassle free. These seems like it would be a very straight forward way to get some nice home grown vegetables. I honestly like the idea of not having to monitor the moisture levels.

Dilbert, what is a wax lettuce box?
