How much soil is needed for this garden bed?

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

We used a combination of Miracle Grow potting soil and garden soil. 2 large bags of each and had about 1/2 bag left over.

Hi Sylvia! I think we used 2 regular bags of soil. It definitely wasn't as much as I thought would be required!

I used 3 40 pound bags of top soil I then blended half of a large Miracle Gro top soil with fertilizer. Huge herb garden still going strong.

It is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 inches high. That would come out to about 11 cubic feet of soil material. This assumes a flat surface below and that you will not be mounding above the top of the walls. Check the volume on the bag of garden soil you are going to buy. They can be anywhere between 0.5 CF to 4 CF

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 bed is about 10 inches deep as well as 1/2 inch thick (both are just an approximation). It was my first go at vegetable gardening. I was able to grow 2 varieties of tomatoes, green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, eggplant, cabbage, and basil. Very sturdy construction, this spring will be the second season so we will see how it stood up to this New England winter! Good luck

I don't remember how much soil I used and no I didn't mix it with coconut coir. My guess on the soil was about half of a 2 cubic bag of patio plus from Kellogg's and some composte I make. I planted strawberries in it.

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 don't remember for sure but I was thinking it was around 30# It does wonders in the garden. I used it last year and am slowly adding it into my soil.

we were careful....about a cup or 2 for 12 cu ft of dirt. Too early to know the impact however since we did the raised beds with plants this past weekend. Turkey poop is also a great fertilizer!

Wouldn't be a bad idea although I lined mine with landscape fabric (bottom and up the sides) and put 2" of pea pebbles (not gravel) in the bottom before adding soil. It's gorgeous and works for me!

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!

If the plant is to be planted in the ground it should contain some of the soil dug for the plant. I use about 60% soil. 30% potting soil and 10% compost, well mixed.

I think I put about 9-12 bags (1 cubic foot per bag) of soil in each 4x4 square. I will definitely have to add soil again this year. I bought 2 of these of beds - they worked out great.

It comes with some soil in a temporary pot. You will need to put in a permanent pot and need to add more soil

All I am able to tell you is what EarthBox says to use. They say to use 1 lb. of Dolomite for their Large EarthBox mix it into top 3-4 inches of mix at initial planting and each year when replanting. It looks like a pound is 1 & 1/2 cups.

When it comes in you will need to put it together. Easy enough by just sliding pieces into place. Then you can add your soil and seeds as you wish. This is a very simple way to start gardening. Good Luck!

6 to 8 inches depending on the make up of the soil and the size and make of the find. On average around 6 inches though.

Strawberry are pretty shallow roots. Put enough compost and soil should be fine. I had tomato, peppers and squash. They did great
