Reasons for a Grow Box Garden An Element of Preparedness & Self Sufficiency Poor Soil Limited Space Sun Exposure Changes Limited Time Limited Mobility No Weeding Easy to Water Organic Potting Mix Reuse Great Hobby/Therapy

STEPS TO SUCCESS 1. Planting: Seeds/Seedling Plants 2. Fertilizer: Slow Release Organic 3. Water: Hand vs. Automated Timer System 4. Mosquito Control:Biological Mosquito Dunks 5. Support/Staking System: Fiberglass Rods with Elastic Rope or Nylon Trellis Net 6. Harvest: Typically Young/Tender

USE ONLY POTTING MIX 1. Peat Moss 2. Vermiculite 3. Sand 4. Perlite 5. Small Wood Chips

Slow Release Organic Fertilizer Air enters the soil from the top and bottom to prevent fungus, root-rot and disease. Water constantly moves upwards to the roots through capillary action. Use simple potting mix for quality results. Easy to check and refill water level.
