I can't remember who it was that wanted to DIY, and even if I found it again in the archives, I thought that perhaps you would miss out on this. It is instructions for a similar construction.

Julie, Thanks for the site! Sounds interesting, hope to try it soon. I recently recived the brochure from Earth Boxes, I liked them but they were a little pricey for me. Thanks Again! MARK

HTML expert to the rescue (yah, right -- me? an expert? [giggle])

Sister Julie sez someone can't get to the site through the URL she posted, so I am here to make a link. I hope this is not one of the times that I screw it up, but here goes:

Make- Your-Own Earthboxes

Okay, I just checked the link and it worked for me. If it STILL doesn't work for someone, I'm sorry, but I've just used up my fund of expertise!

BTW, I noticed, looking at the Earth Box sites, that there system is patented. Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that doesn't prevent you from making your own copy for your own use, but it does make it illegal to make your own copy and sell them. Just a thought . . . .
