Hi I am so sorry but we bought it as a present, I am not sure but i could ask and let you know.

I have similar conditions and I dug out and filled in area with garden soil first. That seems to have worked well. Have had it in place all summer and is very sturdy. I think it would be very tough to get it in deep enough otherwise.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

If you have clay soil you have to break it up with a shovel first. It doesn't have enough power to break up clay soil. I only had to loosen the soil the first time I used it. Now I use it every year and it works great. It seams to be well made.

We used a large bag of Mircle-Gro potting soil that we picked up at Costco. I think it took two bag, but I don't remember. I also mixed in some alfala meal, bone meal, blood meal, and manure, that may have been overkill, but it seems to work. The only mistake I made was not realizing that onions don't want all of that fertilizer, and I may need to plant them in another location.

If the ground is level a bit les than 8 cubic feet. In my garden area, it took a bit more as the ground was not level.

Hmmm . . . 4 X 4 X almost 1 = about 15 cubic feet. Most big bags of soil are 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, so you'd need about 8 to 10 bags. That sounds about like what we used. We mixed in about a third of coconut coir too, and our veggies are growing like crazy!

I can't say for sure about "footers", as it does have somewhat of an edge on each foot so that it won't sink right in. Our soil here is like a rock, so nothing was needed here, except for big nails to put through the holes on the feet to keep it from blowing around in our big winds.

I bought two packages and planted them in the long rectangular pot. I put as much soil as I would want, sprinkled the seeds evenly, and then sprinkled some additional soil just to cover the seeds. It turned out beautifully. You can use regular soil as well in a regular round pot I'm sure.

Yes they both can be used for soil. Just cut back the tetraflora doseage by half and your be good. Happy growing to ya.

No, you Will use "espoma seed starter just to grow your seeds, when your seedlings are 2 or 3 inches then you will transplant the seedling using pot mix soil (if using pots) or regular garden soil.

There were loose rocks in my soil but they were less than 2" in diameter. The tiller works fine with those loose rocks. Remember, the rocks in my soil were loose, not compacted or tightly bunch together.

As I am still adding soil to my 2 bags, so this is going to be a guess, at best! I am using 62-64 dry quart bags of organic soil and feel that I will probably use at least 1 full bag and perhaps another 3-4 quarts for both of my potato bags! Hope this helps!

I used 6 bags( 2 cubic feet each) of potting soil and 2 bags of composted steer manure. This doesn't actually answer your question but I hope it helps. The bag bed works great!

you will probably have to screw them together (they might slide off of each other). also the more you stack the more soil you're going to need.

I put 8 cubic feet of topsoil in mine and it could have taken more. I planted an herb garden so I didn't need it to go as deep.

Hi,I believe they recommend using the whole bag of their Dolomite mixed in top 4" of soil. Probably most important for plants like tomatoes.
