I have a suburban lot (with a very picky Homeowners Association). My lot is very well landscaped with trees, shrubs, and perennials. I need to fit in my veggies wherever I can. I use EBs to help me avoid tree roots, tuck things into unused spaces, etc. I have 5 EBs dedicated to tomatoes, and I grow mostly inderminates. They do wonderfully. I used my other EBs for peppers, leeks, onions, green beans, zucchini and cabbage. Without them, I could not produce nearly what I could hope for otherwise.

I grow my herbs in other smaller containers, and my potatoes in smart pots.

I just couldn't imagine my garden without EBs. I am grateful to everyone I have learned from to figure out what worked best for me in terms of potting mix and fertilizer. Best of all, the EBs have a watering system that cuts hours off of my watering time each week.

I had some trouble getting started my first few years, but it was worth it to figure everything out. It's great to be able to learn from those who have much more experience than I do.
