I bought 2 Grow Boxes - www.agardenpatch.com - and will have such a tremendous harvest of tomatoes, I'm going to get 2 more boxes to plant cauliflower, broccoli, and collard greens for the fall/winter. Grow Box is similar to Earth Box only it's a bit larger, has no wheels and costs $15 less. Yu might want to check them out for fire escape farming (or patio, balcony, etc.)
They come with everything except soil and water: An amazing fertilizer packet attached to a canvas-like cover which is imprinted with numbered squares corelating to a chart in the literature which shows where to plant various types of plants (for spacing) that yu place over the soil. The cover also eliminates weeds.
The bottom of the container (box) is for water. It is easy to assemble and is self-watering. (I had to add water for the tomato seeds only once a week until the plants got to 2 ft tall; now I fill the bottom every other day or so.) They tomato plants are now thick, bushy, 4 ft tall and LOADED with tomatoes!

[...] I can’t complain about the way that it’s growing and would definitely recommend it, which is more than I can say for cauliflower. [...]

Thanks for the advice. Will definitely take into consideration for next spring. I'll have a much better plan in tact.
