Do you grow vegetables in styrofoam boxes?

As you can tell from my sidebar the post that has been read the most is Is it safe to grow veggies in styrofoam boxes? where I asked my readers if they had any information about whether styrofoam was safe to grow edible plants in. I received several replies to my question which you can read in a subsequent post here. As a result the CEO decided to err on the side of caution and not use the boxes in future for growing vegetables.

How to make a mini-watersaver garden from an old wooden crate.

You may have read the recent posts here and here about growing vegetables in Styrofoam boxes as I was seeking advice as to whether it was safe to do so. We have decided against it and, of course, it is up to each individual to make up their own mind after researching the subject. So yesterday I had a go at making a mini-watersaver garden out of an old wooden crate based on the steps we followed when installing our large watersaver garden last year.

 

Is it safe to grow veggies in styrofoam boxes?....update.

In a recent post titled 'Is it safe to grow veggies in styrofoam boxes?' I asked if anyone had more information about using the boxes. Ree, from Roots and Seeds,  did leave a comment but it must have been too much for the comment box so it was lost in cyberspace. I asked Ree if she could let me know what information she had when she had time and today she has written a post on her blog titled 'Poly boxes for food growing'. So, if you have an interest in the subject then head over to Ree's blog.

Update:  Unfortunately Ree isn't blogging at the moment and her blog is not accessible so that link doesn't work any more.
