Earthboxes only come in one size. There are 9 in that picture. I have 3 more I use with a large trellis for cucumbers and 2 I use for tomatoes in other places around my small yard. Yes they are expensive but very much worth the price for me and yes they perform exactly as advertised. I however do not use the chemical fertilizer stripe method. As per Earthbox's instruction sheet I mix into the soil 2 cups of a 100% organic 5-3-3 along with ½ cup each of bone meal and kelp meal at planting time. To use this method your fertilizer MUST be 100% organic with the vast majority of the nitrogen in water insoluable form. Otherwise you will burn the plants beyond repair using this method. This is a pic of a single EB with 2 Julliet grape tomato plants taken mid July. Couldn't count what I picked from these 2 plants but into 4 figures for sure.
