I grow 2 or 3 plants in Earthboxes all the time. You just need to be careful about what plants you put together. Some of the more prolific varieties will tend to take over the available area. So, don't put two of them in the same Earthbox. I have experimented with growing from 5 to 8 plants in one Earthbox with lots of pruning to control growth. That works just fine, but you need to be careful about what you plant and it requires a lot of work if you have a number of Earthboxes. Most cherry tomatos and Healthkick Romas don't benefit by lots of pruning.
