just thought I would ask I have 2 earth boxes I got from dads house when he past away and they have been sitting in the basement and was just down there looking at them .These are older style but very heavy duty and guessing dad bought them and they were never used .I was wondering if they would make a good filter the one is 30 inches long and 15 inches wide and 12 inches long and is really heavy duty .The other one is bigger and heavier .I could use 1 of them for my second filter tank .These are very heavy and looked on amazon and those look lighter duty that what I have but can not really tell

I got a bunch of those I hauled from arizona, they are sitting in a shed.

Yeh not to sure how old this one is since hubbies dad passed in 2007 and his sister said she thinks he bought them at least 10 years before that and she told me on facebook that he never used them that she remembers and since everything is still in shrink wrap that came with them

 

[sissy]

I never heard of them and even forgot these were in my basement so I am as bad as dad SENIOR MOMENT

My previous husband picked them up off craigs list, they are a heavy plastic, with the screening a neat idea, self watering. well you need to add water but then the plant self waters.

 

[sissy]

Yeh thinking the screen on the bottom is where the gunk would settle

 

[addy1]

Probably would then you need a way to clean it. Mine would not be a good container to try to put in a drain or any piping.

I've never heard of an "earth box". Can you post a pic, Sissy?
My day pretty much sucked today, due to nosy Grandparents sticking their nose where it doesn't belong with their kid's child support case! They didn't want to hear, "I'm sorry, I cannot discuss your son/daughter's case with you, you are not a party to their case." They just wanted to scream at how I'm not doing my job right (which is totally wrong) and that I HAVE to listen to them, and I HAVE to do something about it! Geesh ... such obnoxious, hateful, mean people. By the end of the day, I finally got word from the Regional Office, who had messed up, causing all of the problems (I didn't mess up, I might add ... I did my job in a timely manner Woohoo!) that they were correcting the issue, and the money on hold would be sent out soon. I called the mom and told her, and she was happy. When parents jump in to "help" their kids, all it does is cause problems. If they are over 18, let them handle the matter. It's their child, their case, their problem. They do NOT need Mommy and Daddy holding their hand any longer. Let them grow up for goodness sake! These people called me 7 times today, and with no caller ID, I had to answer the calls. When I finally decided enough was enough, let answering machine take all calls, they called no less than 10 more times. What jerks!

Nice frog! I netted one out last weekend as I was removing a few leaves and corn shucks from goldfish pond, and he was happy to get tossed back into the water! Also 2 trapdoors that got tossed back in, and one goldfish that swam into the net, refused to come out, so she got tossed back as well. LOL Just realized, I had 2 or 3 koi in the goldfish pond still when I had those issues with them dying. Then one koi did die, I think the white one. But, I have not noticed the other two in there. They are likely hiding just like the koi in the other pond. Lots of crates and upside down shelf units for them to hide in, so not worried.
Earth Box looks like a large tote. What is it made of that makes it so heavy? Cool looking container!

 

[sissy]

some type of heavy rubber type stuff .LLpd it says .Made of 100 % recycled stuff .It is made of the stuff like those tuff stuff tanks they have at tractor supply
