Earth Boxes???

20 years ago

Does anyone recall a post that featured earth boxes made from Rubbermaid Totes? The gentleman who posted also had pictured instructions (maybe the pix were on his web site). I would appreciate any help as I have several Totes with no lids and need a good gardening way to use them.

Happy 2006 to all!

Well, I tried your site and I am still laughing! Love it --and guess what?? We're neighbors! I'm just across the river.
Thanks for the info on the earthboxes. Just what I was asking for.
