I live in a trailer court where digging up a garden is not allowed. Well, if I was willing to pay $37,000 for the tiny lot my trailer occupies, I could probably get away with a small garden. However, this is Florida, and chances are, a hurricane will probably blow my trailer apart someday. I was already to head out to the country and start preparing for the future, but my wife has a couple of her kids living near here, and I thought that it would be better for her to be close to them in case I kick the bucket. So, I started working on an inexpensive clone of the EARTH BOX that is a pretty good option as a growing platform. The only problem I had with it was the cost. It runs around $40 dollars which is not too bad if you only need a couple of them, but I need around 20 growers. So, I came up with a good working design that costs around $ bucks or so to make. You can go see how they are made and give it a try yourself. http://www.emergencyfoodgrowing.homestead.com chuck

I went shopping today and potatoes were over a $1.00 a pound. It looks like it's time to find a large tub and plant the peelings. I'm glad I live in Florida where I can grow year around. chuck
