You need whatever soil your plants/seeds/seedling need. For that information, please research whatever it is you plan to grow. The Earth Box instructions are complete, plain & easy to read & understand. The kits are complete and have accessories if what you need is additional to the kit. For any more questions about the system, there is a website for the system with a plethora of FAQs that will most likely cover any other questions you and all other Amazon users have about this product.Thank you & good bye.

This particular box does not come with the potting mix. If you have free shipping, you can purchase the "ready to grow" kit. It includes the potting mix.

I would avoid these people. I never received the product, only the accessories. Also the accessories came way after planting season. Therefore, totally useless. Never got a refund. run away.

You will need to also purchase Sphagnum Moss from Orchard Supply or other source. The EarthBox instructions will specify how much to buy. This "moss" becomes the "soil" that you plant into.

That depends on what you will be growing. I bought the box with the trellis because I grow tomatoes in my boxes and they need the stabilization. Hope that helps

earthbox is good stuff. however, it does not come with the needed soil, fertilizers, etc. I strongly recommend that you look at their products carefully and then review what you want to accomplish and where. do you need a staking kit? if you are growing tomatoes, you might - or provide your own. I have found the small bag (1.0 cu ft) of miraclegro fills one earthbox. you also need an eartthbox replanying kit - fertilizer, lime, all pre measured. is earthbox expensive. you bet. doers it produce worthwhile results. you bet. they tend to be out of staking kits, etc. it is better to order all of what you need for one growing season before you begin. it is an good use of space and can provide excellent grower-control of your plants. If you are truly serious about growing this is a good option - short of a raised bed system. growums' is another option. I have never used growums, but I would if I could find them...Lowe's has them sometimes, some locations.

This kit when I bought it came with everything you need except for lights to grow one plant self contained. I do believe they come in kits. I would suggest that if you plan on more than one plant that you go with a DWC tub, you can build one for about 35 dollars that is 10 gal. 6 plant. as well consider a tent to grow in as well as whatever light system you want. decent fans........two one for intake and one for outtake of old air.

It'll come with everything you'll need. Mine actually came with a few parts missing. I contacted the manufacturer, and within 2 days, I had the missing parts.

I'm not very savvy when it comes to pumps -- I need a pump to drain the water out of my garden fountains, so I can change the water and keep it fresh so the algae won't grow. Do I need to buy any additional pieces with this or will it come with everything I need? Thank you!

Yes, everything you need is included. We love it! Use it every day. It says to change every 6 months, but we've had it in for nearly a year now and the water still tastes great!

No; everything you need is included. I was prepared to purchase this separately as well, as it was not mentioned. I was pleasantly surprised. All is great since installed about six months ago. Enjoy!

Yes you get more than enough moss to plant it in and a special pot to put everything in. The seller is awesome.

Yes, it did come complete, didn't have to purchase anything to get it up and running. The only thing to consider is that it does not have any pressure so consider hooking it to a soaker hose and put the hose in your garden. Other than that, it looks great in my garden. Have had several comments on how gorgeous it is.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2. All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.

Yes it comes with the net pot and moss - you only need a plastic container/cereal bowl size to put the net pot in - separate the plants as they come wrapped together and follow the directions included - ours took about 3-4 days to wake up just as the instructions said.

The one I purchased included everything. However, I must tell you that its not worth the money because it will malfunction on you and cause flooding. I'd go with a different brand.

It comes with everything you need! Stakes, instruction manual, front mat (detached)... The first time we set it up was a little challenging because of the additional front porch which I wasn't used to, but overall - standard and easy set up!
