How It Works

So just as like a little kid that discovered something new I did more research to know more about it. Here is what I discover. I learn that the Earthbox is self watering container system which make use of the large water reservoir in the bottom to continually keep the potting soil moist for the plants to thrive. This system is such that we can never over water it as it has an overflow hole. Once this system is set up we just need to keep the reservoir full by filling water via the little pipe until water flows out from the drainage hole.

Clever Design

The upper area of the self watering container holds the potting mix, fertilizers and plants. And very cleverly the aeration screen that is placed in between allows the water to be wicked throughout the soil. Soil cover included in the Earthbox gardening is used to cover the top of the potting soil to keep in the moisture and keep away from the weed seeds or any plant related diseases.
