No digging, no weeding, and outstanding yields using 80% less water and 50% less fertilizer? Yup. Greens, herbs, peppers, tomatoes, corn - even watermelon - grow like crazy. The secret is the built-in 10L reservoir that continually wicks water directly to the roots so even if you're just a weekender you can't kill your plants. This ecological planter has been tested and adopted in countries all over the world at schools and community projects as well as corporate campuses like Google. We tested it here last summer and were completely blown away. Easily raised for comfortable harvesting. Portable, so you can bring it anywhere. We didn't use it, but a mulch cover comes with that minimizes water loss from evaporation, keeps weeds and animals out and warms the soil in the cooler spring and fall months.
