how many bags does it take for a 4x8x.5 raised bed?

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

8 bags at 22 CF each (4 x 8 x 0.5 = 16 CF) Add a spare for settling and potting - Enjoy :-)

It takes 4 or 5 bags of Mel's Mix for a 4 x 4 so I would use twice that amount for a 4 x 8.

I used 3 for my 3x3 square foot garden..they recommend 4 bags for a 4x4 raised bed garden.

Richard, you can fill your 4x8box with eight bags.However I would recommend getting a ninth bag to allow for settling the 1st growing season. After that just add a trowel of compost. Good luck with your gardening. Check out the youtube videos posted by Mel Bartholomew. The grid on the back of the package suggests 4 gags for a 4x4 box so you would need to double that amount to 8THERE IS NO NEED TO ANY ADDIONAL ITEMS THIS IS THE "COMPLETE" formulation in one bag.

I bought one bag and it covered 75% of my 10 x 15 raised veggie bed at about 2" thick. It's really nice straw mulch - much better than straw - the mulch is easier to shape and use and it has helped with weeding significantly.

I am assuming that you mean bags of soil needed? I put in 8 bags of 40 lb. Miracle gro soil and will use it again this year.

There are no 4 ply available anymore. They have improved the bags and lowered the number of plys to 3 ply.Let me know if there are anymore questions...Thanks

Each set includes 8 bags - 4 red and 4 blue. Each bag is 5" x 5". If you didn't get the bags contact the seller

Each unit is four feet by four feet. Need 2-3 feet high of topsoil/potting soil. So 2 feet x 4x4 would be 32 cubic feet

It is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 inches high. That would come out to about 11 cubic feet of soil material. This assumes a flat surface below and that you will not be mounding above the top of the walls. Check the volume on the bag of garden soil you are going to buy. They can be anywhere between 0.5 CF to 4 CF

Hi-it's been quite a while, but i believe it would be at least 4 bags. I am saying that to be 80% sure though...good luck!!!

I used twelve 40 pound bags of soil for each bed. They could have held a little more if I remember correctly (I first filled them last year), but that was certainly sufficient for a successful vegetable garden.

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.

Go to Seachem's, the maker of Flourite, website. Look-up the product you are wanting. At the bottom of the page, there is a calculator to help you figure out how many bags you will need to achieve the desired depth you want. The average "rule of thumb" for a 2-inch bed is 1 lb. per gallon. The "rule of thumb" will be different for the tanks that are long or high, such as a 20 gallon long or a 20 gallon tall, instead of average. The website for this product is http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Flourite.html.

one large bag should be enough. It comes out of the holes, so I just keep putting it back in. Put it where you want it before you fill because it gets very heavy.

There were four 8 X 11 bags that came with my unit, so you pretty much need to buy any other bags that you need to use!I bought pint sized bags (food saver brand) 5 X 9's and I went through the box last summer. Our new garden was a success.

We use 4 bags to approximately 1 gallon. Bring gallon to a boil first then let bags steep.

I used 2 bags of sand I believe were about 50lb bags. But 1 bag would be fine.
