Storing Earthbox outdoor through freezing winter?

maxjohnson · April 23, 2019

Have anyone left their Earthboxes outdoor through winter with snow and below freezing temperature? I can move them into the shed, but the space will be limited especially once I accumulate more of them it won't be possible. I rather not have to dump out the potting mix and stack them.

I can make sure let it dry out and put on the cover so no more water get in, so it won't freeze and expand. But if it's too much risk of the plastic cracking, then I might have to stick with grow bags.
