Here are a few pictures of Larry's "Grow Boxes" and some of the veggies that we have grown. This first picture is one of the first boxes that Larry made. He used blue 18 gallon storage tubs. He designed them to hold water in a resevior. This saves time and water. You just fill the resevoir as needed. No wasted water in the garden. No watering weeds, either. The black plastic keeps heat in and weeds out. You can't see it, but there is also a strip of fertilizer across the top of the potting mix that feeds the plant(s) all summer.
To the right is a box of cucumbers. I love growing cucumbers in a Grow Box. It is so much easier to find the cucumbers. When I used to grow them in the garden, I would usually discover a few that had turned into "Yellow Submarines" along the way. The picture below is one box of kale that we grew. I had about six boxes total. 
Look at the picture at the top of the page. See the white tube with a black hose inside? This was Larry's original watering system. I found some tubing at Walmart that he used to hook up to each box. All we had to do was turn on the hose and all of the boxes would be watered at once. (Me=Lazy Gardener, remember) He's developed an even easier watering system if you can believe it.
