Stlbeerman,
I wish I was at that yardsale !! I use earthboxes for all my vegetables. I have 40...and try not to add more each time I see a deal !
Yes, Yes they work well with tomatoes....Do you have the directions ?? The Earthbox Forum is the place to get info..
Here are the basics:
-be sure you have a good potting mix. On the Earthbox forum is a list of the recommended mixes,
-You need to add 2 cups of Dolomite to mix.
-Fertilizer--2 cups of 10-10-10 in a strip in a location that is furthest from the roots, covered with some of the mix.
-Wicking and covering the mix are key concepts you need to be aware of and understand to be successful with Earthboxes.

Please PM me if you need additional info...you are obviously interested in the method if you were savvy enough to snap up an earthbox at a yardsale !! Why am I not that lucky ??
