How do you water plants in an EarthBox and how often?Updated 3 days ago

You simply put water in the included fill tube until water comes out the bottom overflow drain. You can’t over-water, so don’t try to regulate the moisture level in the growing media. Just keep the reservoir filled. When the plants are small, add water every few days. As they grow larger, add water more often, and once a day for heavily fruited or mature plants. You can easily assess the water usage by the time it takes the water to come out the overflow hole. Never let the reservoir go dry.

If you travel or have trouble keeping the EarthBox watered, you may want to consider our Automatic Watering System. This optional accessory connects to a hose or spigot and provides a fully self-watering setup.
