EarthBox self-watering garden kit — 29 x 14 Terracotta planter with 3‑gal reservoir and organic starter

The EarthBox 80155 Garden Kit is a self-watering, maintenance-minimizing container system that creates ideal soil and moisture conditions to boost vegetable and herb yields with minimal effort.

This compact, award-winning kit combines a patented container design with a built-in reservoir and organic starter inputs so you can grow more food using less water and fertilizer. Finished in a warm terracotta tone, the 80155 is ready to roll with included casters and reversible black/white mulch covers that help control temperature and weeds. The system simplifies planting, irrigation, and fertilization so both new and experienced gardeners get steady production in a small footprint.

How does the EarthBox reduce watering and maintenance?

The kit uses a 3-gallon bottom reservoir to store water and deliver it by capillary action to plant roots, keeping moisture consistent and reducing evaporation. That means fewer surface waterings and less chance of over- or under-watering.

• 3-gallon hidden water reservoir feeds roots from below
• Water fill tube for easy top-up without disturbing plants
• Reversible mulch covers cut evaporation and suppress weeds
• Aeration screen keeps soil from compacting and maintains oxygen

What comes in the 80155 kit and why it matters?

The EarthBox 80155 includes the full four-piece system plus starter supplies so you can plant right away. Organic fertilizer and dolomite are provided to balance nutrients and pH, while casters let you reposition the box for light or shelter.

• EarthBox container, aeration screen and water fill tube for system function
• Two black/white reversible mulch covers for temperature and weed control
• 1 lb. organic fertilizer (8-3-5) and 1 lb. organic dolomite to start soil health
• Four casters included for easy mobility on patios or decks

Which plants suit the 29" x 14" terracotta EarthBox?

This medium-length box holds about 2 cubic feet of soil and is ideal for a wide range of edibles and ornamentals that prefer deeper root zones. It’s especially effective for tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, lettuce mixes and compact vining crops grown with support.
