How much soil does it take to fill this?

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.

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

I have 6 of them and I had a truck load of top soil delivered and still have about 1/4 left and we'll use the rest to add to the beds and our flower beds.

I think one foot per pot, less the root ball of the plant. I cubic ft. per pot would be more than enough.

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.

Hi! I used about 2 cups (about a pound) and mixed it into the top 2 to 3 " of the potting mix.

I built mine last year I used 90x40 lb bags of soil from Lowes at 1.25 a bag, my husband had cut down some Cedar trees so I also put in a wheelbarrow load of Cedar mulch, depth is around 20 inches (that is filling it right to the top), last year I grew carrots, peas, a few lettuces and a Jalapeno (best Jalapeno's ever), this year I am trying a few potatoes, carrots and lettuces. Hope this helps.

I fill it from the ground, about 6ft. It come with legs to make it about 8ft

Good afternoon, Ron. The approx. amount of soil/mix is 18 liters. Thank you, Sarah | Plow & Hearth Customer Service

You only need 20% mixed with proper soil and an acceptable climate. And mix the 20% with 20% soil right at the spot where the roots will touch. Good luck to you, its a great mix!

A lot but don't fill up the entire base. Just fill up about slightly more than half, then the rest water. The wet sand/water mix is enough to keep it pretty stable for ordinary striking routine.

I buy 40 lbs at a time, and it only fills it about half way. You might have to fill your feeders first.:-)

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 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.

Not sure of actual capacity. We bought several different sizes of these pots, then put a "false bottom" inside each one so soil didn't go all of the way to the bottom. They would be really heavy if filled all the way, and we wanted to allow for drainage. Dead of winter here so they are in storage now so I can't give you any more details, sorry.

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.

Not sure of how much exactly but you just fill until it is full. It lasts me weeks and I use it all the time.

The planter is hollow, so dirt will fill the entire planter, btw these are really great! We love them.

I'm sorry but I can't answer that. My soil is 30% sand (I had it mixed and trucked in) with a lot of organic amendments.
