The EarthTainer II WaterMizer Edition - - New, Improved...and FREE!
As many of you have followed the saga of the EarthTainer construction on TomatoFest, as well as the "Myth-Busters Trials", I have now field-tested an improved version and it is available on the TomatoFest Website here:
http://www.tomatofest.com/pdfs/Earth...tion-Guide.pdf The primary improvement has been to incorporate a 5" diameter wicking basket instead of the 9" by 9" large square basket.  This permits 20% more potting mix in the same 31 gallon container for greater plant / root development and parses the water to the tomato plant so that the mix remains in the "Moist" range, reducing water usage and that lost to evaporation (hence the moniker: "WaterMizer") . . . catchy, don't you think?  Anyway, the Price is right - FREE so enjoy and by the way, I have included simple instructions on how to retrofit your existing EarthTainer I to the improved design.  Ray
