Gradient System: Acting on the laws of nature, the EarthBox, facilitates
the movement of nutrients from areas of high concentration to areas of low
concentration. When the EarthBox, is set up, the fertilizer stripe is
placed on top of the potting mix-creating an area of high nutrient
concentration. At this time, the potting mix around the roots of the
growing plant has no fertilizer. When water is added, the moist potting
mix slowly conducts the diluted nutrients down the concentration gradient
to the plant roots,which absorb optimal amounts of nutrients at any given
time.
Water and Fertilizer Conservation: The EarthBox's plastic cover
drastically reduces the water evaporation rate and returns condensed water
vapor to the potting mix. As the plants draw water from the reservoir,
they consume only what they need to stay healthy. Plants cannot be
over-watered or under-watered if the reservoir is kept full. The plastic
cover also prevents fertilizer from being diluted or washed away by rain.
In addition...
Years of research have yielded the optimal number and arrangement of each
type of vegetable, fruit, herb or flower for healthy growing.
Casters enable home gardeners to: (1) move the EarthBox outside during the
day and inside at night - extending the growing season by planting earlier
and harvesting later and (2) move the EarthBox, around the patio or deck
to increase or decrease the amount of time spent in the sun.
Plastic inhibits the growth of disease-causing mold, as well as the
invasion of plant-eating pests.
