Love seeing everyone's earth box set up pics! Also fun too to see what others do to contain the plants. My system is a little different. I always put two larger tomatoes in each box. I have the staking systems on my earthboxes, but have found the trellising net to be pretty useless. Instead I insert a 6' stake beside each plant that is tied to the top of the staking system. I clip and "tidy" the tomatoes up vertically keeping 2-3 growth stems. So far this has worked well. Here are some pics from earlier in the season. I think I have about 20 or so boxes going in 2 separate areas.
