I have been using a make-shift earth box; the directions I found online for free. I used green storage containers from wal-mart w/o any problems. Directions for plants/fertilzer needs I went to the "earthbox site" for planting/fertilizer needs and covered with black-lawn and leaf garbage sacks (when plants come up covers them) or white-lawn bags if plants didn't like heat. These are awesome. I had three earth-boxes but think the self made ones were actually better -one thing; i wish i had put them on wheels they are heavy once filled (add water wt as each has its own-3 gallons of water in there)! Plants do great/easy to keep bugs off and keeping pests off plants and roots are so great. I also now have a aerogarden but think I might look into off-brand versions for herbs/salad stuff inside...
