Hi I learned about this product on Youtube. The video will give you an idea how much mix you will need to use.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPDaiNLloZY

This bag holds 100 Gallons (50" x 12") Holds 13.7 Cubic Feet of Mix, 13.5 Square Feet of Growing Space Check label on your bag for cubic feet since size varies and do the math. Love these pots!

i haven't used my bags yet. next month i will try to fill them. if you go to you tube and find john kohler growing your greens it shows him filling one. he mixes his soil with other items so your soil will not be so heavy and it can drain better. let me know how it works. good luck

I used 6 bags( 2 cubic feet each) of potting soil and 2 bags of composted steer manure. This doesn't actually answer your question but I hope it helps. The bag bed works great!

We bought two standard size sand bags (think about 40 or 50 lbs) but we would have been fine with just the one bag. But it was good to have two because as the kids played the pushed out a lot of sand onto the ground. Its a great toy - my 3 loved it!

4 x 4 x 1 = 16 cubic so maybe about 8 bags will do the job. Buy the ingredients and mix it yourself or buy from local garden center by bulk.

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

the medium vegtrug holds 390 L or 13.75 cubic feet of soil, bags come in various sizes but common would be 2CFt so you would need about 7.

Its common to do a pound per gallon or 1 inch/ 1&1/2 inch. One bag will be fine.

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!

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.

I filled one bed with: 1bag miracle grow top soil (2cu ft), 1 bag peat moss (2cu ft), 2 bags composed cow manure (3/4 cu ft each), and 8 bags scots top soil (3/4 cu ft each). The frame was filled with 2-3 inches from the top (room to add nutrients next year). Also my beds were on a slight slope and had to be wedged up on the low side with bricks - slightly adding to the volume. Everything is growing really well. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I really couldn't say. It seemed as though it took quite a bit, but I couldn't say how many bags of soil as we used 4 big bags and then added soil from a bed that we were breaking down to take apart. Sorry :-(

The dimension is correct but the capacity is overstated. I'd say 2 potted plants for moderate size pots. For compost, it would be ok for 1 bag and very iffy for 2.It is a useful little cart but obviously not sor heavy hauling.

We bought bags of what is called play and and you can get it at any rural king store our Wal-Mart while they have their garden center. They are 50 pound bags and we put two in ours but the and box can hold more.

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.

I think you would need anywhere from 2 to 4 bags depending on how deep you want the bedding. Unfortunately, I've never tried Eco Earth so I can't answer the second question.

I put a 44lb bag on a 4'x12' raised bed for tomatoes. They turned out great. It just adds back minerals. I used a fish kelp fertilizer also. You might want to check the PH of the soil after adding.

we bought this last spring and put 04 bags of garden soil in it (each bag being 02 yards). It filled it nicely.
