Eggplant in an Earthbox

Kearny, NJ(Zone 7a)

After 6 years with 14 EB's I am finally going to try Eggplant this year. I have read somewhere that Eggplant in containers can suffer from BER. If anyone has grown Eggplant in an EB I'd appreciate any info you may have, especially if I should add some Dolomite to the potting mix.

I am growing one in a DIY box right now and all seems well (it's been growing since I transplanted 2 weeks ago). I did add dolomite, but only because I'm growing a tomato in the same box.

I've actually got an eggplant now so I thought I would post a pick. Also, a note, I have a bunch of plants growing on my balcony including eggplants in 2 separate containers. Aphids just love my eggplants, but I haven't even seen one of them on my tomatoes or my corn. If you're going to grow eggplant I'd make sure you have a plan for combating aphids.
