There are two very specific reasons that people utilize these products. The first reason has to do with space. Just because you live in an apartment with a small balcony, or a house with a postage stamp of a backyard doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get to bask in the joy of planting and harvesting your own fruits and vegetables. Many of these designs even have drainage systems that ease up on the mess, so that if you are trying to keep your patio clean, you won’t have a muddy puddle to clean when it is watering time. Another reason people utilize these boxes is that they live in a part of the country where they just don’t have ideal soil for growing, or they have a wooded backyard that is filled with tree roots in the open spaces. If your soil is less than ideal, a box will allow you to buy your own soil to create the perfect living conditions for all of your crops.
