I was online shopping for leek seeds and found this trial:

They gave high marks to a variety bred by a commercial company DC seeds

I noticed that a retail component of this company is:

I never heard of any of their varieties but I bet there are those here that do. Some are root stock, and a lot of interesting vegetables across the growing spectrum.

The retail company is having a sale shown on their home page; 15% off premium hybrid seeds and free shipping thru Dec 4 with $9.99 purchase. I thought the seeds were a bit expensive, but the seed packages are tremendous for a home gardener.

I never did find the leek seeds mentioned in the above publication.

Those are the ones that use the "grow strips?" Just curious - - what don't you like about the grow boxes? I did buy one, but the separator grid was flashed over badly (holes covered with plastic), so I returned it. I've got 9 EarthBoxes now plus a couple of Juniors that are ok for lettuce and flowers. I keep thinking about making a couple of "collars" to make the regular EB's a few inches deeper to see how that that might affect growth.

The biggest problem with grow boxes is that they come in two pieces, and also the plastic is inferior to that of Earth boxes. It gets riddle in a few years oh, and the yard guys weed wacker guts it with several holes. I have not had that problem yet with Earth boxes. And also because of the two pieces in the grow box they tend to separate and more water is released. + overall they are smaller and hold less. So for a few extra dollars the earthbox so much more worth it.
