How much area will be needed to plant everything?

You probably can't grow everything at once as there are both cool and warm weather crops in the pack. Crops like lettuce will bolt in warm weather so, depending upon where you live you might want them in only partial sun. But for any given area, take the requirements on the seed packet, for instance with lettuce it says 5 seeds per inch in rows 12" to 24" apart. It does not tell us how many seeds are in the packet so that's a problem unless you want to count them. From that you can tell how much area needed for the lettuce. As the seeds germinate, at five per inch you'll have to thin them - pinch off the weakest and leave the water and nutrients for the strongest plants. Since you are controlling the environment you should have at most five plants/square foot. Please note you don't have to sow all seeds at once and shouldn't - I mean, how much lettuce can you eat at once? Look at the germination rate and plant the seeds 2 or three weeks apart so you'll have a continuous harvest while the weather is cool. Same for the other seeds unless you're starting a market garden and just want to sell the crops as they appear. Also, best to rotate the crops - don't always grow a crop in the same place - if disease shows up you'll lose everything. Again, hope this helps some.

I'm sorry that I can't give a perfect answer. The package came in the middle of winter, so I haven't been able to plant anything yet. My guess is that it will take about 30 ft. x 15 ft.

I wish I could answer your question, in terms of "area" or square-footage, but at this time I am merely storing the seeds. In terms of immediate usage my yard in under several inches of snow and ice so I can't answer your question accuartely and I apologize. My primary intent upon purchase was for short-term storage...which may turn into long-term stroage at this point.

Not really. Make sure there is a lot of drainage. I planted my in two places in above ground beds. The smaller bed had a liner and poor drainage. The other bed was larger than a car and had drainage. There was a huge size difference. The largest plants reached about 16 inches. The smallest one only reach about four inches in the smaller bed.

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!

Technically yes u can do it all in there....but u will run into space problems and will only be able to do one plant....get the bigger 6x6x8 ft....and u can at least get one really nice big bush in there......

About 3x3 to 4x4 ft area.anything bigger you would need multiple lights or a 1000 watt.

I don't think so. I think would need more depth. I only planted flowers and some herbs last year.

Depending on you lighting and your size of plants. Minimum size area prob 5x5.. I am using an area of 9x6 and am going to expand to 10x 10.

I think the answer is 4,000 sq feet. If you Google it you will get all the info you need.it likes Sun and we bought An innoculant to go with it.

I plan to use 9" square pots inside two 4'x4' flood trays or something close to that. With that said I will be putting 12 to 16 plants in each of the flood trays totaling 24 to 32 plants with no longer than a 3 week veg along with some pruning or tying of the plants.

one plant will actually cover 70 sq ft over time. I broadcasted my seeds by hand in area just over 5000 sq ft. Make sure you purchase the powder to activate your seeds. Check the Dirty Gardner. Plants are starting to sprout after 12 days. From what I understand it will take two years before they really take hold. Do not cut them at all during the first two years they will die off.

I put it within 8-12 inches. But, it depends on the type of plant and how many plants.

I've never planted them before, but I think they should cover 20 square feet. The seeds are very tiny.

That size is about right,but very easy to plant as it doesn't require digging a big hole. I planted mine on a hillside and there was no way I could dig holes for the bigger pots. I just planted them closer together and hope some day to have a nice ground cover.The plants I received were very healthy, with good root mass.

One container should be more than enough. It covers from 80-100 square feet.

I wouldn't expect a space larger than a 2x3' so about 6 square feet. Really though it will only flower good in about a 18"x30" area.

The footprint when all setup is about 4'x4'. You probably need at least another 2' all the way around it to do the exercises. To be safe, you probably need a 7'x7' area.

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.
