EarthBox Top Dressing Explained

You must need to login..!

Description

Top dressing in an EarthBox worked differently than traditional living soil setups, and that was the advantage.

In this clip, I explained why it was safer to add more nutrients to the top layer without overfeeding, and how bottom watering changed how plants accessed water and nutrients.

What’s happening here:
EarthBox used a bottom-fed reservoir with clean water
Top dress acted like a slow-release nutrient bank
Roots drank water separately from accessing nutrients
Reduced the risk of nutrient burn
Plants self-regulated their nutrient uptake
