earthbox planter

pecker88 · August 19, 2015

ordered an earthbox last week, thought it would make for a perfect planter box to set in front of South window this winter...

All you carpenters out there, go easy on me; my miter cuts are terrible.
It's definitely got that "10 foot look". LOL

I put a 2nd 3/4" snorkel in it that has a wine cork in it, attached to a wooden dowel. I made marks on the dowel for full-empty so we dont' overfill. I didn't build the planter with the overfill in mind. I wish the overfill would have been a single hole I could have plugged, not the 3" wide overfill slot. Oh well.

I have Red Robin tom. and purple Jalapeno seedlings that are ready for transplant. Im going to fill with ProMix Organic, a few cups of 8-8-8 fertilizer, then put plastic cover on the earthbox and top the cover with hydroponic growstones...just for aesthetics.
