thanks ann! How can you tell how much water to feed through the tube?

[yardlover]

The great thing is you CANNOT over water. Just put your hose in the tube, and when the reservoir is full water will run out the bottom of the planter. Easy!

Anne is a total fox!

@Thomasjustagato The important thing to remember is that the reservoir does NOT need to be full. All that is required is that there is some water in it. Any amount, long as there is some.

@kiravintio There is no leeching or run off. EB is made from a food quality virgin polypropylene. Planting style and number is based on plants root system. The aeration screen creates a layer of air between water and soil, eliminates root rot. Water is "wicked" up therefor the roots never have to search for water. Dolomite prevents ailments such as blossom end rot. There are products on website to help with pests or other ailments, if needed.

@CensorshipFTL  1 Earthbox, 2 tomato plants = 18'+ diameter. Try that with a plastic pot. LOL

@highrate9 You cant. There is an overflow hole on front of box.

@MacSmiley Absolutely true. Bad deal for the farm that year. Good news for us. Now Whisenant Farms is completely covered with Earthboxes.

@Jaylo1954 Nor did she mention the wicking used and how important it is to PACK the back 2 corners with potting mixture.

@middletonk The one in video is the black one. It is reversible with the other side being white. A feature used to help control temp inside box.

@concernedmom1964 In regards to pricing, you might wanna look closely. They are not better priced. I assume you are looking at the Garden Kit. EB does not sell this kit. Only EB alone or a ready to grow kit. Garden Kit is available only through dealers. It is ready grow WITHOUT the soil. Research facility is at

Blake Whisenant is inventor, very nice man.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the instructions in this video are incorrect. They will end in failure. Tomatoes is 2 plants, planted in a single row pattern. Soil is never to be used. A potting mixture with NO dirt is correct. Fertilizer is not the only thing added to the Earthbox. You will also need dolomite. Fertilizer is buried in a trench dug by hand and the dolomite is added to it where plants are. That's just the 1st 60 seconds. Not sure how many other mistakes there are.
