Their web address is www.earthbox.com
I think I'll order one and try it. They have a technical page that lists some of their test results that seem impressive. Aleasa

This is just my .02 on the earth box..went to the site and looked at the
info...it definetly looks like it will do what it says...first
off your dealing with a raised bed idea with perfect/nearly perfect soil
conditions...and
next you have a water resevoir...gardening made simple...
Now if you didn't want to go thru the expense of buying one of these, you can
make
your own raised bed and fill it with soil and organic materials in a sunny
spot in your
yard...the water is the only thing you will need to keep up on..but that is
often the
joy of the little hands that are helping you...raised beds make gardening
alittle easier
because you can amend only part of your soil not a whole big garden
plot...say..
start with a small 4x6 bed...a few tomatoes, peas, lettuce, carrots..eect
like I said...this is only my opinion ..
your humble gardening friend,
Eileen
