This year I have set out 8 plants in 1 box and 4 in the other. The other half has some zucchini, squash, cucumbers, and beans. I have planted about 5 more tomatoes outside of the box.
Here are some pics of my setup.
These were mid growth, after seedling stage moved into garage with fluorescent light on timer with a fan.
This year I am using newspaper in lieu of the black landscape fabric. I had to tear up the fabric to till the dirt. It was very easy to shred. I want to see how the newspaper works. I did wet it for like 3 days constant to form a paper mache type bond.
This is my potato bin. Yes. I used a long pallet (10' x 4') and ripped it up and cut the long beams in 2. Then attached the bottom ones around. Its a bit wobbly so I used another board up top to assist.
3/31/12 - Begin to plant in the ground. I was lazy this year and did not pay attention to what went where, so it will be a fun harvest when I see the fruits of my labor. I planted, Brandywine from Croatia, Rutgers, Yellow Gooseberry, Yellow Pear, Oxheart, and some big red round tomato I do not know what it is so I call it Big Red Round. If you see previous posts it was the gigantic tomato that weighed over a 1lb.
My little helper.
Planted some on the outside of the box again as well
Planted some veggies on the outside of the bins (Cucumber and Squash)
