How many yards of soil does it take to fill one of these?

we bought this last spring and put 04 bags of garden soil in it (each bag being 02 yards). It filled it nicely.

About a 12 inches on fresh batteries in average soil. Sand and mineralized dirt make a difference on depth also ...Really if you get a reading around 6" then rescan again after digging down 6" it will go deep as you want...

I have owned this product since early spring and used it throughout the summer. A couple of weeks ago, I took out my spring/ summer plants and emptied it completely. Then, I put all new soil in so I could plant a mum and some pansies. In other words, this information is fresh in my mind. I bought a 2 cu ft bag of Miracle Grow's Garden Soil, and used ALMOST the entire bag. I had just enough left over to fill a couple of pots. So, my answer is that this requires a little less than 2 cu. ft. Hope that helps!

I used about 10 bags of 2 cubic feet. If you could find some cheap (but clean, uncontaminated) fill dirt, you could use less good quality soil on top.

Mine is burred in the ground and i do not remember, however i am guessing 6 to 8 feet.

Fill it with a hose. It has a hidden drain connection also that you hook a garden hose to. It fills in 20 minutes

5 bags of 2 cubic feet. Before I turned soil and put down 2 cubic feet of peat moss. Any deep rooted vegetables, like tomatoes, need 1-3 feet root depth.

I flattened the ground soil then sat the unit on top. I didn't use anything but a compacted peat moss and top soil mix to fill the cavities. I wish that I had started with a cheaper filler for the deeper side, but didn't think about it until after I started filling it. I grew tomatoes and flowers. They turned out beautiful.

I can't remember exactly. I bought three beds and used 5-6 bags of 1.5 cu feet soil mix, I think.

I don't know the exact amount in cubic feet, but we used 3 full wheelbarrow loads of top soil mixed with compost to fill it up.

75-100 yards, more or less. You're not going to get much resolution after 40 yards or so. My numbers are rough, novice, estimates, though.

I am sorry I can't be specific because I was so disappointed in the performance of the "heavy Duty" that after it broke the second time I just gave up and trashed it. We are using the extra feed we bought by mixing it and pouring it down a piece of pipe I drilled holes and just push into the ground. We also mix the feed and spade 1 shovel depth and pour it in.

It's been a while, but I think it took 3 or 4 of the 9 cu ft bags for each side. And there was room for more. It also depends on what you're planting and how deep you want the soil.

These are VERY small when you receive them. Put each one in a separate one gallon pot with potting soil. They are quick growers. I would nurse them until at least one foot high before putting out in the yard. I would allow a Minimum of five feet from walkway or house.

It was either 2 or 4 yards of top soil. Cost me $20 to go pick it up in my Chevrolet Truck. Since I remember the price, I believe it is going to be the 2 yards. I can look at the dimensions again and tell you for sure if you wish. I could have used a tad more, but I had a beautiful garden that I would be glad to send you pictures of. I was very impressed. I recently became disabled and my 23 year old daughter and I put it together in about 20 minutes or less just using my drill; drill bit to create starter holes where they don't have them and then flip to the Philips screwdriver head. It really was a breeze. I am not sure about separating it because it is made precisely for the look you see advertised. If you buy it, just to make things easier for you. Before you set the frame down where you will utilize it, put down the weed barrier black paper you can buy at Wal Mart or Lowes and you won't have to worry about any weeds. The only problem I had is the weather and the soil was so good my plants, from squash to tomatoes, to okra got really large and robbed each other of nutrients and kind of all grew together, but the production was still a success. Happy Gardening of Flowering!!

I used twelve 40 pound bags of soil for each bed. They could have held a little more if I remember correctly (I first filled them last year), but that was certainly sufficient for a successful vegetable garden.
