Suitable for individuals and communities, the self-watering, self-feeding, weed-resistant EarthBox is a portable, reusable, maintenance-free, organic gardening system that produces 60% more yield than a conventional garden, using half the fertiliser and 40% less water. Invented by Blake Whisenant in the US, the SA distributor and producer, Operation Lionheart, has already installed Earthbox Gardens at the Milestone Creche in Olievenhoutbos informal settlement in Johannesburg, the HIV/Aids programme at Edendale Hospital in Pietermaritzburg and the HIV/Aids programme at the McCord Hospital in Durban.
