Vegetable Plants Direct Teams Up With EarthboxPosted on Saturday May 8 4:41:00 BST 2010 We have just negotiated to be the sole supplier of plants for a company called Earthbox they will be supplying our plants for their Earthbox kits in the right quantities for their planting plans. We are also planting a number of boxes up for them for their stands at Chelsea, Tatton Park and Hampton Court flower shows. This system is much more than just a planter How The EarthBox Works
The 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 fertiliser strip is placed on top of the potting compost-creating an area of high nutrient concentration. At this time, the potting compost around the roots of the growing plant has no fertiliser. When water is added, the moist potting compost 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 Fertiliser Conservation The EarthBox's plastic cover drastically reduces the water evaporation rate and returns condensed water vapour 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 fertiliser 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. Castors enable home gardeners to:
