These pics are from 2015, 2016, and 2017. (Nov. and Dec.). They sell EB and plants and accessories. This is where the late inventor, Blake Whisenant was based. He gave little workshops twice a week and always seemed to be there to answer questions. Always fun to go there but call first for hours.

Here’s another one. :D I won’t waste an earthbox on cabbage as they are just too cheap to buy but they did look
fantastic.

Took this for the different stands they sell.

Note the plastic cover that is tied at the corners.

Thanks for updating with the covers. I had so much less weeds this year with the real covers vs the plastic that just blew with the winds. Although I did some with zero covers ; some just with thick rice hulls and one with one half rice hulls and the other cocoa chips and they all did well with the weeds too.

I'm so surprised that everything is on cinderblocks. I missed that the first time looking at the pictures.
