How deep is the top portion that will hold the potting soil/material?

About 6 inches. All I can say is is the 4 marigolds and the dusty miller I've planted in it are doing very well. I put stones in the bottom of the planter for drainage.

It's at least as high above the ground as the thickness of the top, which is tubular and about one 1/2 inches or more in diameter. the rest of it can be below ground but some usually sticks above. Depends on how you " plant" it.

The bottom. Is 3 -1/2 inches. The inside because it is a reservoir is only 4-3/4 deep. It is pretty sturdy. I got it to fit in with other planters. This one is functional but not really decorative.

The bottom has mesh in it also so nothing would fall out of the holes in the side. I would say it is more than a foot deep, maybe 16-18 inches at least.

Hello, there is ample depth of 2" from base of insert to bottom of outer pan. Excellent to use for branching peas and other small vegetables.

3 1/2 inches on the bottom. Top offers an additional inch. It's good that it's not too deep so that you can see all your tools. No digging.

It is only about 1/2" deep. I'm at work at the moment so cannot measure it, but that is what I remember.

3 to 4 inches tops... My vacuum can fit right under the edge but not the whole way under.

About 8" at the deepest point. I've used them to put ferns that are in 8" pots down in them.

I don't suggest that you keep the center partition out as it supports the sides. It doesn't take up enough space to have any effect on your garden anyway. I have only filled one half of my bed so far and I used approximately 6 - 1 Cu. Ft. bags of soil mixed with 1 full block of "Beats Peat" (coir), which brought it to within an inch from the top rim. Of course it will sink down once it's watered; however, I'm hoping the coir wiil aid in plumping it back up ;) Now I'm just waiting on my worm castings to arrive to add nutrients to the bed, then I can get started on a little fall garden :) Good luck and I hope this helped a bit.

Hi, sorry it took so long, we just moved. The bench is still at old house, but I"ll try and remember to measure it tomorrow. If I had ot guess, I"d say the entire thing. the place where I pot plants, the work surface is hand level and it's soooo pretty put together. I"ll get that for you tomorrow though;)

I am just ready to buy soil for my planter. Here's the basic formula: length x width x height--- 48" x 48" x10" = 23,040 cubic inches. Potting soil is sold by the cubic foot, so we need to convert the inches to feet .. so divide 23,040 / 1,728 " == 13.3 cubic feet of potting soil. Happy Planting !!!

I don't know what you mean by the top. These are just regular planters with a large hole in the bottom.

I used 12 cubic feet or 6 bags of 2 cubic feet of Miracle-Gro Potting Soil. This left a 2" space at the top. I also used a liner. Everything seems very happy. Where I live the Potting Mix was a bit pricey, but that amount worked well for me. Good luck!

it tills as deep as the length of the tines which is about four inches. once tilled, you can go more deeper as the soil will be loose. i think i did go about 6"-8" deep. i basically bought this for my vegetable garden. first i tilled the old soil and then mixed it with soil compost and mixed with the old soil using this tool. i have this tool since two years now. it works great. you have to take care of the battery when not in use.

The depth usable for soil is 5 1/2 ". The "hole" appears to be in the center but it sends the water down under the "plate" in the bottom of the pot. There is no connection (per se) between the height of the watering hole and the depth of usable space for soil. It is a beautiful shade of blue too.
