The EarthBox® Root & Veg™ planting box for vegetables operates and uses the same components as the EarthBox Original. But it features a square design and a deeper growing space! Our planting boxes and growing system provide a low-maintenance, fail-proof design backed by science. It applies tried-and-true commercial growing concepts. But scales them to a small footprint that produces better results than traditional in-ground gardens. So even those without a green thumb can use it to grow vegetables. Root & Veg planting boxes allow growing root plants that require a deeper growing space, like carrots and parsnips.
