I put 25 lbs in a 5-gallon bucket. I wouldn't put in anymore than that. I store lentils and black eye peas.

I got about 22 pounds of rice per bag in 5-gallon buckets. Maybe a little less with beans, since they leave more air space. If you remove most of the excess air before you seal it, the O2 absorber will leave a nice, oxygen-free partial vacuum.

Hello Bob, you can put 25 lbs of rice or beans into each bag. It seals great with an iron, don't forget the oxygen absorbers, they usually come with the purchase of the bags. If they don't you will have to buy them separately. But you definitely need them to get the air out of the bags. Also you can find the 5 gallon food grade buckets and lids at Lowes. They are great for storing the bags. Hope this helps.

The 1 pound container is the smallest size that Minor's makes available. You can use as little or as much as you need and refrigerate the the rest. When refrigerated, the bases will last well over a year. So, even though you feel that 5 gallons is a large quantity, you will probably use that much over a year's period. Hope this helps.

If you plan to place your pots on the ground rather than on cement, you can use 5-gallon pots. Use 14" square metal cages, insert them into the ground, place an empty bag into each cage, then fill it with soil. Be prepared to add another cage on top as the season progresses.Or, a 14" square cage can be fit into a 15-gallon smart pot.

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.

If you are looking to store your seeds in smaller containers, I would suggest 1/2 gal. glass mason jars. My 25lb. bag filled just over 9 of these jars, with enough left over to fill 1/2-3/4 of a quart mason jar. I would also suggest a LARGE mouth funnel (wide mouth canning funnel) to assist in filling said jars. All the jars are stored in my dark and cool pantry.

1.5 cubic ft bag will probably fill 3+ . I use 5s and I can fill 2 +. And I add about 1 part perlite to 3 parts soil. Of course you can fill more with the perlite addition. Aerates the soil, for more oxygen flow, better drainage and keeps soil more "Fluffy". I dont know what you use it for, but FF soil is a little hot. So I add 1/2 cup of lime to soil mix. Especially if your plants like PH of 6.3 to 6.8.

slightly less than 5 gallons or about 30 lbs as the bags are taller when You put them in a 5 gallon bucket, leaving plenty of room for the oxygen thingies...hope that helps.... They are top quality bags.....RON

The bag indicates that you should use 8 cups of broth for 4 cups of rice. So the ratio of liquid to dry ingredients is two to one. Note that most recipes include 14-28 ounces of canned tomato...

4 to 5 bags depending on how many stones you use. Be sure to drill holes in the bottom!

Well Tony, as CRICKETSDAD answered, one bag will make one (1) gallon of gravy. But unless you're feeding an army that's way too much. It's also suggested to break down the individual measurements and make smaller batches. It all works fine and it's reallllly good.

I make 2 quarts of soy milk at a time but it would take more than that. It is a fairly large bag...1 gallon I think.

In weight, approximately 30 - 35 pounds, depending upon the item (beans vs rice) and the moisture content. I put one 50 lb bag of pinto beans into 1-3/4 buckets!

Storage is very important. I store beans & legumes 2 ways: in the cupboard using Snapware containers (I believe that a 17 cup one will hold the 5 lbs of lentils. Then there is the less than glamorous way using a food safe bucket with a gamma lid. I use both methods because I buy 20 lbs of soybeans at a time for soy milk. Beans that I only buy little bits of, and don't use all that often get put into a Ziploc and, after a trip to the freezer, find themselves dumped into the bucket along with the soybeans. I have a smaller canister that I keep soybeans at hand in. As for the jute bag question: not. There is, however a plastic bag inside of the jute bag but once you've opened it, you will really want to put them into something airtight.

They are very small, about 1/8 to 1/16 inch hard plastic pellets. Thus, 5 pounds is not a very big bag as they are dense.

It really depends on how deep of a substrate bed you want. That said, one bag should be fine. I used less than 2 bags in my 20 gallon long.

Both bags were included as of Sep 2014. Filled mine with Walmart rice ($2.50 for 5 lb). Will take about 9-10 lbs of rice, depending on how "malleable" you want the final result to be.If you don't have a wide neck funnel, you can make one by cutting off the top 4.5 inches of a two liter soda bottle.
