I don't grow them inside (no point with the length of our growing season). Rather than explain it, let me run outside and snap a quick pic. Be right back.

In another post I talked about a product called Earth Box. I tried one and was amazed at the difference in productivity. They were a bit expensive for my taste, so when I found plans on the internet to make your own.....they work as good as the $60 boxes and cost less than $10 to make. Here ya go.

Oh that's great, crash (and it's all so GREEN there...oh well, just another 8 weeks and it'll be the same here! :( )I see we're both using the same containers. Maybe I can trellis the vines along our bookshelf. Do you use commercial fertilizer on them? We have manure tea from the ducks and compost on the veggie menu.
For the squash (not pictured) I plant 6 plants in the box (3 on each side) with a fertilzer stripe (about 2 cups) running down the middle. I have also used 5 gallon buckets, but didn't get nearly the volume of squash that I do with this set up.
Here's the design that I used.

Thanks crash! I also just went on the Earth Box site, that's really interesting with the fertilizer strip in there. Do you think putting raw duck manure in would be too stong? Another idea for homesteaders and log builders is to use the bark from peeling trees as mulch in the garden. Works as well as plastic IMO and is of course biodegradable.
Not sure about the duck manure. I know that one of the cautions was to use unfertilized soil because of the way the watering system works. Acts more like a slow time release. I guess some experimentation would be the key.
