Don,

Unfortunately, (or fortunately, as I view it) the construction on all 25 EarthTainers is done, and I am in the process of loading each one with potting mix and fertilizer at the moment. 23 of them have the tomato caging system, and I kept two without it, as I want to try growing sweet corn in them to see how corn would perform in an EB.

Thanks to a lot of suggestions from T.V. members in this thread, I am running a number of "A / B" trials. I am comparing the growth and production properties of Miracle Grow vs. Lowes Sta-Green potting mix, TomatoTone vs. Fox Farms Peace of Mind fertilizers, dolomite Lime vs. Epsom Salts, Mycro Fungi additive vs. plain (thanks Ami), fertilizer strip vs. circle around the plant, Wall-O-Water vs. none, and others.

I will detail each trial with pics in a week or so, once I have everything planted. Been a busy past 6 weeks!!!
