Ready-Made Grow-Boxes or containers

Author: Jim Kennard

Q. Where can I purchase grow boxes already made? A. There are lots of people who have custom-made containers - of almost any size you desire. But they are expensive, and not any better than what you can do yourself in an hour with 1" X 8" boards and some stakes, and a hammer and nails. Go to the Learn section of the Foundation's website www.growfood.com. Look for the Grow-Box section, and in that section you'll find good illustrated instructions for building your own containers.
