Hi, Carol. I made two self-contained container gardens based on your information here. Are you the Carol at Dave's Garden who is so knowledgeable about tomatoes? If so, nice to see you -- I am Gardenwife there, too.

Hello, I have built the Earth Boxes as you instructed and planted Eggplant and Green Peppers and used cow manure, top soil and peat moss. I have had them planted for a about 3 weeks and they are doing great except I have these tiny mushrooms starting to grow thru the tops where the plants are and thru the water holes. Will this hurt the plants? Or is there something that I can use to make them go away without hurting my plants? I am a first time grower and am not sure what to do. Thank you in advance for your time.

Thanks for sharing your project, and welcome to Instructables!

Let me know if you have any questions.

You've probably already found your way around, but in case you haven't seen these, here's a guided tour of Instructables and an Instructable for making Instructables.
