Default Earthtainers in AZ

Over the last week, my father and I built 3 Earthtainer III systems, very easy to build. we then constructed 3 tomato cages to go around them. Instead of using pea fence as the instructions said, we used 4'x7' concrete mesh and bent it using a metal brake that we have. After bending the base as per the instructions, they fit perfect, no sharp corners, only used 3 clamps and very strong.

We planted 6 tomato plants, two of each kind, Pink Girl, Big Boy and Cherry tomato. We will see how they grow, I know this, they were planted on 2/28/11 and they have grown about 1 inch and started putting out flower buds. Here is a pic or two of the systems.
