Water and Fertilizer are Essential for Box Gardens

After planting, there are two major concerns: water and fertilizer. We help take care of the watering part with our self-watering planting boxes.

We also help with the fertilizer. You can select two mixtures, each designed to address specific plant types.

The Standard 7-7-7 Fertilizer is excellent for all plants. However, it's highly recommended for growing all fruiting and root crops, such as:

  • Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Squash, Carrots, Onions, Beets, Pumpkins/Gourds, Strawberries, Turnips, Okra, Garlic, Radishes, Parsnips, Rutabagas, Jicama.

The Natural 8-3-5 Fertilizer is recommended for only growing leafy and cruciferous vegetables and herbs such as:

  • Lettuce, Salad Greens, Herbs, Spinach, Kale, Artichokes, Brussels Sprouts, Chard, Celery, Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Leeks, Collards/Mustard Greens, Kohlrabi.

The EarthBox® Root & Veg™ planting box for vegetables operates and uses the same components as the EarthBox Original. But it features a square design and a deeper growing space!

Our planting boxes and growing system provide a low-maintenance, fail-proof design backed by science. It applies tried-and-true commercial growing concepts. But scales them to a small footprint that produces better results than traditional in-ground gardens. So even those without a green thumb can use it to grow vegetables.

Root & Veg planting boxes allow growing root plants that require a deeper growing space, like carrots and parsnips. The following diagram explains in detail how the EarthBox Root & Veg planting box and gardening system components operate together:

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Riley B. ★★★★★

This planter box has been a game-changer for my pepper plants—the built-in water reservoir means I only refill it every few days, even in the summer heat. My seedlings have grown noticeably faster compared to my old pots. Really happy with how sturdy the UV-protected plastic feels.

Eva L. ★★★★★

I finally have tomatoes that actually taste like summer, and the self-watering reservoir means I only refill it twice a week even in this heat. The UV-protected plastic feels sturdy enough to last several seasons.

Benjamin H. ★★★★★

I've killed so many patio tomatoes in regular pots, but this box's water reservoir keeps them from drying out even when I forget for a few days. The cover means zero weeding, which honestly sold me.
