how much clay pebbles do i need for a grow bed of 12" x 24" x 24"

My grow bed is 6" x 12" x 18", which is about a quarter of the volume as yours. I used 3/4ths of a bag, so I would expect yours to take about 3 of these bags.

It depends on how deep of a sand bed you are looking for. One pound per gallon should give you about an inch. Personally for me, that is perfect.

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

I can just tell you that I have a planter that is about 20 sq ft and I used about 3 packets. So u will probably need 6 times that.

I do not use rock, I use large perlite. I purchase a large bag for about $40.00 and that's what goes in the baskets, overall it's cheaper, much lighter, a large bag lasts me several grows and I can put it right into my compost pile when I'm done with the grow and it makes for a wonderful compost for the following year. It seems to support 3 to 4 foot plants just fine.

Depending on soil from 2 tablespoons to half a cup per gallon of water if soil is acid start with smaller amount if soil is alkaline increase dosage

I have one medium size ceramic planter and two decorative vases that are empty. the platforms are not big enough to hold a pot more than 8 or 9 inches and still have room to put one on each platform. I would say a total of maybe 10-12 pds. It is very attractive, though and I really like it.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

Like others, the right pot for me was five to six inches. It stood up well enough not to need any rocks to remain upright (though it would not hurt). Good luck!

Following the directions with the kit you'll get about 1 - 1.5 gallons of substrate. The instruction booklet also describes how to use the kit to produce about a gallon sawdust spawn rather than using it directly for fruiting, so you can use that to inoculate several gallons of substrate of your own making. You get about a pound of grain spawn in the kit, so if you know what you're doing you can successfully inoculate a larger batch, but you'd have to prepare your own substrate mixture.

I used about 10 bags of 2 cubic feet. If you could find some cheap (but clean, uncontaminated) fill dirt, you could use less good quality soil on top.

You can start from seed, I would recommend using a rockwool cube or similar substrate however, as leaving a seed in the pebbles will probably result in overwatering/rotting/or lack of germination.

I cannot tell you the exact ammount. I can tell you I purchased a large bag of potting soil and I was able to fill two planters with soil left over. I hope this is helpful.

Each bed is 4 feet by 4 feet by 9 inches deep, so that is 4 x 4 x .75 or 12 cubic feet of soil.

From 7.5 to 6.5 use 2 pounds elemental sulfur per 100 square feet for average soils. Sandy soil reduce application rate by 33% and clay soils increase rate by 50%. Takes a few months for the soil ph to change

I used 12 cubic feet or 6 bags of 2 cubic feet of Miracle-Gro Potting Soil. This left a 2" space at the top. I also used a liner. Everything seems very happy. Where I live the Potting Mix was a bit pricey, but that amount worked well for me. Good luck!
