Looks crunchy to me ! Bummer about the plant ...

Hey - do you leave the lids on your container and just cut holes out for the plants ?

This was my first tomato plant ever. Its definitely not an earth box. Just drilled holes in the bottom, put rocks down at the bottom and filled with garden soil and some other stuff. There is no lid, thats just a super thick layer of ice over the soil when it hailed/snowed here. Before it was inside and It got a disease I think but also started attracting little knat or fruit flies and started going down hill so I had to put it outside, and then the freeze came a week or so after. I've learned much since then though and actually am making real homeade earthboxes this time around.

I did get about 40 sunsugars before it went bad and they were scrumptious.
