how much compost or potting mix does one bag hold?

I haven't used mine yet (I plan on putting my tomatoes in it as soon as it warms up enough), but the package says 32 quarts

About half a cup, depending on the size of the pot. Pour on soil and mix around drip line.

One bag is enough for about a one inch layer of in a 30 gallon tank. So no, not really; you'll want at least a 2" substrate for plants to be happy, and that's why you're planning on buying Flourite, isn't it? I used one bag of this and two 12 lb bags of Carib Sea Flora Max in my 30 gal. Plant growth is great. I do use additional fertilizers, though.

the medium vegtrug holds 390 L or 13.75 cubic feet of soil, bags come in various sizes but common would be 2CFt so you would need about 7.

You didn't say what you're using it for, or where. Ten pounds should be for a garden or large greenhouse operation. For indoors, I usually add a few tablespoons to a medium bag of potting soil. A 1-lb. bag of absorbent polymer would last a yr. or two. If you're using it outdoors, well, you can always buy more. If you're afraid of buying too much, but it's a bargain price, it'll keep forever. If you're really into growing you'll probably be glad you already have a supply of it in coming years. IF YOU USE TOO MUCH: Once it's soaked completely excess polymer tends to collect as a slush on top of the soil. Then you can scoop it off or leave it as a mulch.

It depends on how deep it is. Assuming it is a foot tall it would hold 8 cubic feet. or 4 of the miracle grow 2 cu fit bags

No you shouldn't use half a tea bag. This bag shoul come with 4 tea bags, making five gallons each bag for a total of 20 gallons of compost tea. If you decide to use each bag more than once it's your call, but it could be less potent. This will also increase the total gallons.

This 12-quart bag is 3 gallons so it will fill 1 1/2 two gallon pots. But if you are going to add extra perlite,which I suggest you do, then this bag will be enough to fill the 2- two gallon pots with the additional perlite. I use a mixture of 2 parts soil, 1 part perlite. It really helps with drainage and prevents soil compaction, especially in potted plants. Good Luck!

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 think you can get about 1 1/2, 5 gallon pots with this. In all honesty, I'd look for a shop that sells the larger bags for less. I pay $6.99 for this size from a gardening shop down the street. Excellent soil, just not worth the shipping if you know how to mature your own soil. If you are interested in that, Google Dragonfly Earth Medicine for some of the best home soil conditioning advice ever!

I'm sorry, I really couldn't say. It seemed as though it took quite a bit, but I couldn't say how many bags of soil as we used 4 big bags and then added soil from a bed that we were breaking down to take apart. Sorry :-(

I used approximately 8 bags. It worked well. Now the bed is full of healthy plants.

I have the 7" diameter by 8 5/8" high (1.3 gallon). Using Norpro 50-6 liter degradable compost bags, I get more than a gallon in-at least 5 quarts worth.

I use a 2.6 gallon compostable Glad bag, which is their smallest; there is about a 5 inch overhang, but it works. The interior of the bin is perfectly smooth and lid is easy to remove for cleaning. I find that there is a small amount of leakage after a week of filling the bin--either the bags are semi-permeable or they are beginning to compost. I take the bin out to my compost heap and dump the bag and liquid, then I rinse and dry the bin. A small inconvenience.

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!

The bag contents are 1.5 cubic feet. If, for example, you wanted a 6 inch (one half foot) deep garden, you could cover 3 square feet (or a 1 foot by 3 foot plot). Is this what you're looking for? (To calculate how much square footage you can cover, divide the cubic feet of soil by the depth of the garden (in feet).)

For some context, in big question is temperature. It sounds like these bags require a hot pile to degrade. A "hot" compost pile (>160F) requires approx a cubic yard of material plus frequent turning or good air suplly, to get that hot. That's more material (and work!) than most people / households have available.
