Sounds like this became the EB Forum. Does anybody here use Larry Hall's Walmart fabric bag rain gutter system, or just 5-gallon buckets with drip?
I never completed an EarthBox yet... tried about 8-10 years ago--had (2) 18 gallon Sterilites, bought some net-pots, a stick of 1.25" PVC, zip-ties, etc., but never finished one---it seemed like many conflicting ideas (many got BER, don't use compost, only certain fertilizers, cheesy hardware store tomato cages, etc.) everything was the opposite of what I had in stock/already bought, so the outlay for 60-80 plants was unaffordable for me, not to mention using 2 Rubbermaids to make one EB. Oh! And pine bark fines are some magical item that only appear in a leap year during a full solar eclipse only visable above the 43rd parallel, that or they are just non-existent here...
