5.0 out of 5 stars My neighbors are SO envious!, July 24, 2008

I am a physician living and working in Tokyo. While my neighbhood is considered to be "out in the sticks", my yard is 8 feet at its deepest point, the majority of it is about 1.5-2 feet... and I am talking from the wall to the fence. As such, I have precious little space to grow... the fact that the yard is all gravel and manicured trees leaves me even more limited.

I purchased the EarthBox systems so that I could leave for work every morning and come home 12 to 37 hours later without worrying about my vegetables. I achieved this freedom by placing a timer on my outdoor hose with a series of splitters to the hose, one length emptying into each of 5 EarthBox pots. The timer comes on for one minute every day and keeps my plants healthy and happy. SO healthy and happy that my tomatoes have achieved heights of 12 feet, completely laden with fruit!

The black mulch sheets maintain the moisture throughout the day, the timer keeps the resevior filled, the staking system keeps the plants upright despite their extreme height and the winds of the Kanto plain and roughly weekly earthquakes (I did have to zip tie a couple of extenders to the tallest ones). I never worry about bugs, I never have to feed... I just walk out when I get home and pick the beautiful fruits for dinner each night.

I had misgivings about buying plastic pots as I have always sought out natural products/clay/earthenware for both the moisture control and the look/feel. I can tell you that these pots have sold me 100% on their design and value!

The staking system is a disapointing - cumbersome, overly expensive, the netting is poorly worked out with insufficiently clear instructions. Glad I only ordered one to try out: Save your money! Easier to use regular tomato cages, or make one's own staking.

This is my first year for growing green beans in my earth box with the staking system. Last year I used makeshift staking similar to the teepee style I used when I planted in soil many years ago. As I look back to the teepee method, it doesn't make sense to have the plants grow into a tiny space when they are at their peak growth period. There was no room to spread. Not so this year!! I love the fact that it was so easy to install and so easy to train my beans to climb. They are not getting crowded because they are growing straight up and they are reaching for the stars!! I hope to get another earth box next year and I will definitely purchase a staking system for it also. Love, love, love my earth box.
