How does your Earthbox yield compare

How does your Earthbox yield compare to either your raised bed or in ground bed? I know all the pluses for an Earthbox, especially for someone without room to plant a garden in ground, and helping get water frequency right.

But for those who can do both, I would like to know how your yield compares to your growing in the ground or in a raised bed. People who have not tried both methods with similar plants really only have opinions of the camparison, not actual experience, so it is always better to hear from those who have been there, done that, so to speak.

I believe an Earthbox, though excellent, can prove quite challenging for those located in the hot, hot desert like Phoenix and Las Vegas, where a certain protection from the intense sun can be better served in ground. Where as I think that someone living in a cold climate might benefit from the soil media warming sooner in a container.

So, I think there are some variables, depending on where you live. But for those who have both going at the same time, can you say one works better or worse for you?
