Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit come with casters/wheels and fertilizer?

No, this base kit does not include the optional casters/wheels or our fertilizer & dolomite. This version is best for those who do not need to be able to easily move their EarthBox garden and already have or want to use their own fertilizer. Just remember to always follow the included instructions around recommended fertilizer, dolomite, and potting mix to ensure your growing success.

What are the dimensions or the EarthBox Original container and how much water does it hold?

It’s 29″ L x 13.5″ W x 11″ H and holds 3 gallons of water and 2 cubic feet (60 dry quarts) of growing media (i.e. potting mix).

Do I have to use the included mulch cover?

We highly recommend it. While you may still have success without using it, our mulch cover provides several critical functions to control and protect the system’s environment. It stops weeds from growing in the system, prevents nutrients from washing away when it rains, conserves water, deters insects and other pests, and more!

How will I know when to add water?

A good rule of thumb is to add water every day via the Fill Tube until water comes out the overflow drain. This ensures your plants always have what they need (you can’t overwater!). Keep in mind that the first few weeks after transplanting small seedlings or sowing seeds, it may seem like the reservoir is still very full. Roots are still small and developing so they are not taking a lot of water in this phase. Once more leaves develop and the plants begin growing tall and filling out, they will start requiring more. Later in the growing season, you may need to water more than 1 time a day.

How many plants can I grow in an EarthBox?

The number of plants you can grow per system at one time will vary based on the type of plant. The included Plant Placement Chart indicates how many plants you need and where to place them. For first-time EarthBox gardeners, we recommend growing one type of plant per system. Tomatoes are a popular choice. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can try your hand at combining certain crops. Check our website for more info.
