Earthboxes - broccoli

[JohnLeeMD]

Hi,

Would you "recommmend" broccoli in EB? I've had a pretty disappointing season of tomatoes, zucchini, and green beans. I'm guessing it's related to the media I use (not the EB brand; I use lime/fertilizer from Home Depot). Anyway, I'm going to basically up the amounts I put in, and see... But at this point (w/tomatoes starting to fade), I want a new crop to plant. BUT ALSO: I don't want to be disappointed again. So... did your broccoli flourish?

@madman9o3 Duh, because you LOVE broccoli, don't you remember? ;)

For men, even after prostate cancer, three portions of brocolli per week have been shown to reduce the PSA level.

The leaves are delicious fried with olive oil and garlic and a touch of hot pepper. The plant is good for preventing cancer, (confirmed National Institute of Health Studies)

Awesome. I am using the Earthboxes for the first time this year and am growing three broccoli among other things. I am so pleased to see your progress with the broccoli. Other than the system and watering, did you use anything else? Gorgeous!! What grew the best in your earth box? I also saw your spinach.

@Rahimah1919 Earthboxes are the most amazing tomato growers I've seen. I grew so many tomatoes last year! The auto-watering system is expensive, but very very worth it if you don't look at your earthboxes every day or two.

just wondering if you can eat the broccoli leaves?

[thetmaxx]

You can, and they have more nutrition than the heads... more beta carotene I think.
