I found your article on home-made earthboxes extremely informative and, as an extra blessing, that you made it free for folks to use. Good for you...jolly good show!

You are a genius to come up with a reasonable way to make your own self-contained watering systems! Furthermore, I made 4 this spring and used them this summer and they work AWESOME! Thank you for sharing your idea with us. I did make one alteration, because my boxes did not mesh up perfectly next to each other, I used a couple of inches of clear tubing to run through both containers for the overflow and it works like a charm. I found 4ft drinkable black tubing in the plumbing dept of Lowes, cut in half on angle to have 2 watering tubes. Next year, I plan to chronicle the growth of one of my containers. I have referred several people to your website for instructions and next week I am making 4 more. Thank you again!!!!!!

someone posted your info on the self contained garden boxes and I think it was very clever of you to come up with a homemade one. Great for folks who have limited space.

Thanks for posting the instructions for the homemade self watering planter. I'm going to get my husband to help me make one and give it a shot. I just started container gardening this year and I've been having problems knowing when to water my plants, so this should solve that problem neatly. Plus I like the low cost of making one vs buying one over the internet. Thanks!

By the way, have you ever gotten around to taking pictures to show how well they work? If you have, I'd love to see them.

We in Arizona have a different problem, it get HOT early. So lighter color box is nice. I have passed on your early designs to over 50 people. My first yeat 2007 was not good (got too hot, too early). This year 2008 is going good. Up to 6 boxes of tomatoes. Will add more nest year, & start earlier.

Thanks for the make-your-own container instructions! I'd
like to suggest using cardboard or a few layers of heavy
brown paper instead of the black plastic for a soil cover -
- unless you can get really truly biodegradable plastic
(which is expensive), it breaks down in a few seasons into
nasty, soil-and-water contaminating fragments. But
'planter's paper' works so well that you can buy it from ag
sites, and when it breaks down it goes into the compost
heap like leaves.

If this is useful, you may certainly use my name.
