I tried this with peppers in spring of '17 and continued with all plants for '17/18 season.

I stopped putting the loaf on the earthboxes so saved .5 cubic feet of mix. The earthboxes now use 1.5 cu feet vs the previous 2 cu feet. A Promix bale at $45 (including tax) now fills 4.5+ earthboxes vs 3.5.
