what is the depth of this planter at its deepest point? Concerned about cherry tomato plants.

16 3/4" measured from the outside, it is full of soil now. I have grown a lot of tomatoes, cherry and larger, they do great, depending on your climate.

will handle cherry tomato plants, broccoli, lettuce, onions, carrots - I've tried a lot of veggies with success. I have 3 boxes.

It is 15 3/4 inches to the rim. Probably don't want to fill with soil to the rim though, so maybe closer to 15".

What size pots are you wanting to fill? I used to fill a 5 gallon bucket up to about 6 inches from the top. It is enough to plant one tomato plant or as in my case, one potato plant.

I planted mine in a strawberry planter so the soil was only about four inches deep and the roots were 4 or 5 inches apart. The plants all grew well but did not produce a large amount of berries.

3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants. Due to nature of how tomatoes grow, I wouldn't recommend for large tomato plants without some overhead support, and then only the larger 30 gallon+ for stability. Soil in these pots will not have enough density to support any type of trellis. I would plant tomatoes in a suitable 10" or deeper above ground garden box. 4'x8' box built with 2"x12" untreated wood with open bottom and weed block fabric as a barrier between box soil and the ground. Add an overhead frame for support of climbing tomato vines. Mine were 8 feet tall and they still grew over the top! 3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants.

As I recall, about 4 cubic feet. It depends to a degree on how high you want to take the soil level. I'm in my third season with mine and I love it. The first season was the best, only because of the seeds I used. I grew cherry tomatoes in three colors, red, yellow and orange. They went well over the top and provided an abundance of fruit.

The planter is completely hollow, all the way to the bottom. I drilled holes in the bottom for drainage, added a small layer of rock first for some weight in the bottom, next I filled it with empty plastic bottles, a layer of meshed wire, and finally dirt. This way the entire thing doesn't have to be full of dirt because it would be immpossible to move if needed.

yes, should hold about 4 of them. it would be great for tomatoes... deep enough for a 5ft plant.

I built a pvc frame and keep it about 18" above a table when starting seedlings, the area of full intensity lighting is about 34" x 54". We have not used it on tomatoes past about 5-6" height. At that size they seemed lush and healthy.

The answer is this: the base at it's deepest point is slightly less than 2 1/4 inches; figure 2 1/4 to be safe. (this is the bottom of the fixture)

I don't really know; didn't use it as a hanging planter; I would say about 18" or so? Maybe 2 feet.

sorry it took me so long to respond. I been working in the yard. the depth is 16". it is a very nice bench. when i bought the 1st one at Sam's Club, i fell in love with it. I looked for years to find another one exactly the same. I have 2 now. They last forever. I have had my 1st one for about 12 years now, I got my second one for Christmas so have not used that one much yet due to the winter.sorry that last one didn't make sense. You will enjoy it:)

This would be fine for shallow rooted plants, flowers, herbs etc. Vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers tend to have longer root systems and would not be viable in the bottom tier, which is the larger of the two growing areas and has about half the depth.

Planter is all the way to the bottom. I filled bottom with rock and gravel for drainage and stability.

More depth is always better, up till about a foot (these plants are not that large, and I think this is about where max root depth would be.) Larger pots also contain more water, so you have to ask yourself how often does it rain or do I want to water them? I used 5 inches for horizontal spacing. Got a decent number of berries.

According to my rough measurement with my tape measure it is 8 to 8.5 inches from the ground. The bottom edge of the board is 7 inches from the ground, but if you take into consideration the depth of the cleat on the inside that holds the bottom boards and add the depth(thickness) of the bottom boards holding the soil, the actual floor of the planter is approx. 8 to 81/2 inches from the ground.

Just under 3 cu ft. 2.90 cu ft. according to the measurements given for the planter.

CIRCUMFRANCE IS 10" AND DEPTH IS 4 1/4" I don see how they are measuring 6' deep, as the basket you put your veggies in is only 4 1/4" high or deep, however you would like to phrase it. The clear plastic where the basket sits is 5" and if you put the top on its 6"I have to stand corrected, my wife didn't throw out our old one, which was from a different manufacture, and thats the one I initially measured for you. Actually the measurements of the basket is 5 1/4" deep and the circumfrance is 8 3/4"
