Default Lemon cucumbers are bitter

Because of the small ground space of the earth box its self, the plants
are given miracle grow twice a week.

Ewww... no wonder they're bitter. That seems like way too much food.

Also unless the Earth Box is really tiny, holding very little soil,
daily watering might not be necesssary. Long, slow watering is best,
perhaps 2-3x/week. All this without knowing the size of the box and
the amount of soil. Enough sunshine?
