Description: My growbox of size 36sqft consists of crops such as lettuce, sweet peppers, parsley, bandania, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, chive and celery. During the period of the growth cycle, we encountered situations which showed that some of the crops were being affected by pests such aphids, leaf minors and crickets and diseases such as bacterial spots. Some plants were still being affected by crickets however the other pests and bacterial spots were dealth with using a combination of an organic/non organic fungicide and pesticide control. So far, I've reaped lettuce, weighing an average of 2 pounds each, kale, 8 leaves weighing one pound, chive at a length of 17 inches, parsley at a length of 11 inches, celery at a length of 12 inches and bandania at 7 inches. My harvested crops were given to family members and were used at home.
