What is the maximum volume of "stuff" you can compost in cubic feet?

In one fell swoop or over time? I started with leaves last fall. Not sure how many cubic but there was a lot. This season I have been adding a wheel barrow full every week, it keeps compressing down. This is not a rocket science design. It is simple, very affordable and it works!As to the size, it is apx. 3-4 feet across and the same deep. Just be careful with the plastic support rods. I will rep[lace mine this fall with rebar.

Let me answer this way the 'bin' is 36" high. When I began I made it to be approx 3 1/2 feet across and still had more room to make it larger as well. I filled it nearly to the top with three large bags of leaves and lots of other compost material..it has settled down over time as I added more and it did it's compost thing. Wanting to use what was made already, I jerryrigged the left over part to make another small one one on the side, still attached, so I had a large one and a small one to begin making more. It is very flexible and easy to use and is very large. I think you will be pleased with this product and you can't beat the price! I hope this is of help to you.

Not sure of the exact cubic foot or anything but a walmart box thats 30$ does a fantastic job with mine and it hits very well but i would use some wood caulking to seal it a little better before installation but overall a good box for it

I don't know the answer to that. From the dimensions listed on the product description the overall unit appears to have a volume of about four cubic feet, but I don't know how much of that is the actual bin.

Dude! You are on the internet! You could look it up. Google is your friend and clearly states that it is 6.3 cubic feet :) Darlene, will you marry me?

Mine used almost 4 cubic feet. It hasn't had time to settle though, so I may need to add some more as it does.

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.

4 plus the bag of compost about half the amount. Square foot gardening 4x 4 x 6 inches uses 4.

It is referring to cubic feet, which is a measurement of the volume of the storage area. The physical dimensions of the container are correct.

Go Square Foot Garden Forums and get all the scoop. I presume you have also purchased the latest book, Square Foot Gardening, which has quantities. Off the top of my head I believe it would be four bags of Mel's to one 4 x 4 box, along with the compost and vermiculite and peat moss.

The instructions say to mix 3 tbsp of tomato tone into the soil for new plantings. 2 cups per cubic foot for potted plants. I use it for potted plants mixing it with other nutritional amendments such as alfalfa meal, neem meal, crab meal, and kelp meal. My mix is per cubic ft. (7.5 gallons). 3 cups total of all above mentioned nutritional amendments along with a base of 1/3 peat, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 compost. Then I allow this mix to sit (cook) for 30days.

I have no idea, but i will caution you against puchasing this item. It does not compost fast enough, and you will be left with a rancid and mildewed mess. This thing is, pardon the Pun, garbage.

It says 1.5 cubic feet, but I think I put in a little more than that. A 2 cubic foot bag would do it.

I remember researching the composer on the Internet and was able to find the cubic space and compare it. I had a different composer for a long time. Even though it was a similar size, it didn't come close to holding what this one holds due to its inner construction. Composted waste for 2 people and it's been taking about 3-4 months to fill this thing. Love it.

33" x 11.5" x 5" = 1897.5 cubic inches / 1728 cubic inches per cubic feet = 1.1 cubic feet of soil. i left 1" margin from top of container. hope this helps...and it is approximate but pretty good estimate.

I checked on Google and it said there is around 226.5 liters in 8.0 cubic feet.

don't know cubic feet but you can mathematize these numbers if you want 36-37" x 18-19" x 16"
