| 5 years ago, we made some Earth-Tainers. The vinyl bins didn't last long in the blazing sun. Now I'm looking at some UV-resistant commercial systems. AFAIK, the only one available locally is the Emsco planter at Lowe's. It only holds 2 gallons of water, and I'm not sure if that would last a day for a tomato plant. (I haven't checked too many places, but these were not available the last time I looked)
there are several listed at Gardener's supply online. Any suggestions? |

| Check out Earthbox either at their site or Amazon. Also they are ususally on TV on HSN every Spring with a special. I have used them for years and they are built to last. On their forum some still have their original boxes. Their water reserve is 3 gallons. I am in a hot climate also and during high heat you will be watering daily. I could cut down on watering by just planting one mater per box but I always have WAY TOO MANY new ones I want to try. Good luck! Linda |
