Another use for an EarthBox Jr.

Greatgardens · June 15, 2018

I've previously grown lettuce and spinach in an EB Jr., but they are just too small for many things (smaller pepper plants do pretty well). But this year, I decided to put a couple of Gerbera Daisies in one for a trial. We have always had trouble finding just the right spot for in-ground Gerbera growth -- to much or too little sun, too far from the house to see them, etc. Well, they took right off and are growing and blooming great. I put them on our deck so that they get the morning and late afternoon sun. Looks like they really like it, and don't mind the constant quite moist conditions!
