Default The New EarthTainer III "Convertible" Guide Now Available

After a good run with the EarthTainer II Guide, I have made numerous improvements to the design, simplifying the construction process, and reducing scrap down to a 1 inch piece:



The dual-wall should keep the plant's roots in a more moderate temperature range, and the air "vents" down the sidewalls will bring better air circulation into the Aeration Bench.

Most important has been the adaption of a commonly available Pea Fence, which has the proper aspect ratio for the 31 gallon EarthTainer. With a few bends, the 62 inch cage system simply slides onto the rim (after planting):




And is held in place by 12 compression anchor-points:



The cage folds flat at the end of the Season for easy storage



So, here it is in finished form. Takes about one hour to build:



Here is the direct link to the new Guide:
