Snap Peas in earthbox

[rtvvvv]

All the Tomato's are planted and I had a leftover real earthbox. The EB website says they are 2 cu ft. Cap. (15 gal) I thought i'd try some snap peas in that box.
their website says to plant 2 rows of eight in ONE BOX!!!! Is that a mistake??
16 plants in 2cu ft!?!? has anyone tried this before?

(wasn't sure whether this belongs in "container section" or the "Misc edibles" sec.)

I planted as they said year before last and had lots of lovely snow peas. I used their stake system and trellis which made it easier but lots of other trellis systems would work.

I've grown snap peas in an EB several times. I think that 8 is a bit conservative. I've planted up to 10 on a side with a couple of extras in the middle with no ill effects. The yield is pretty modest -- we got plenty for a few meals from one box. But absolutely nothing like a 20 ft. row in the ground. Best results were from Super Sugar Snap.
