Being in a rental i don't have the option of tilling the land like i used to in years past, not to mention the fact that my back won't hold up anymore, so i turned to the Knox Box.

Now i sure couldn't afford one so i built one by the picture. It is 7ft. long by 4ft wide by 1 1/2ft. deep and 3 1/2ft. off the ground, nice cause no bending and weeding, she works wonders. I used a blend of potting soil, manure and peat compost, grandpa called it the perfect blend (4:1:1).

As far as the plants used, I had to search long and hard for them, I planted super bush tomatoes, big bertha sweet peppers, green onions, cherry belle radishes, sweet banana peppers and leaf lettuce.

Last year was the first time i used it and my yield was beyond my expectations. Has any buddy here ever used one of these or something similar and how was you experience.
