Very nice construction.

As the plants reach near the top, there will be a tendency in the wind for the cage to act like a sail, and tip over. Since you are on a concrete pad, I would make some form of an "L" bracket on each side of your EarthBox that would sit outboard of the Box, then bolt it to the cage.

Think like outriggers on a canoe. This will give you some stability on the concrete pad when windy. Keep us posted with pictures during the Season.
