Garden in a Box

I was fascinated when I first heard the concept of an EarthBox. It is a high-tech growing system in a controlled environment that doubles the yield of a conventional garden, and requires less fertilizer, less water and virtually no effort. They claim that the results has been proven in the lab and on the farm. In simple words, its just a plastic box in which you can grow your garden.

Early this month, Google participated in The Growing Connection by planting several EarthBoxes in its garden at MountainView campus. The Garden was planned in cooperation with the Chefs at Google. This is a great initiative to give a boost to the EarthBox campaign, and benefit from it as well. Check out the video...



I'm not sure about how affordable it is... but it is a viable option for our backyard.
