I am planning of 4 per box this year to check again. Last year I planted 2 Cal. Wonder peppers in a 15 gal pot. They grew well and were pretty productive.

But then again, I feel that two tomato plants (except for dwarfs) is too much for one Earthbox, but many disagree with me.
I'm building two earth boxes next month, so I'll try that too. I have a very compact garden space.
