Funny you should ask. I have three of these. One is 5 1/4, one 5 1/2 and one 5 3/4. So good luck.

It is pouring hard rain here today so I am not going out to measure. What I can tell you is that I plant lettuce every year... romaine, salad bowl, radishes, herbs.I am going to guess something around 8-10 inches. There is a tiny ridge and I keep the soil around there. I move the beds under the covered porch for winter and have dill, chives, parsley etc... pretty much year round. There is a drain hole for excess water and I keep a thirsty plant on the lower shelf beneath it. I have six of these and love them... Mints on the bottom shelves for shade. Hope this helps.

The interior of this shed has rounded corners. What is the depth and height of your box?

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.

Depth is the inside of cabinets. The description says the top is 20" and the bfast leaf adds 11" for a total of 31". I never use it though, i just keep it flat up against the wall.

From the inside bottom to the top of the basket it is 5 inches deep. It is very sturdy and is great for blanching fruit.

I am not 100% sure on the food grade question. The top pot holder can be removed from the bottom tank by just lifting off the top unit that holds the pots removing it from of the bottom tank to allow easy access, When everything is together and running there is a small gap between the two that runs the whole small end side of the unit about 3-4 inches that would allow you to add things, check water level, etc without taking anything apart. I usually put a board there to prevent light from shining into the bottom tank. Please keep us up to date on your aquaponics effort with this unit as I would be very interested in your findings/results. We have been eating all of the lettuce/spinach we can stand. We have found bib lettuce realy wants to grow and you cant mess it up... Just got our third unit for thirty pots....

The bottom. Is 3 -1/2 inches. The inside because it is a reservoir is only 4-3/4 deep. It is pretty sturdy. I got it to fit in with other planters. This one is functional but not really decorative.

Hello,This keeper has a 1.9-quart (7-1/2-cup) capacity, and it measures 6 by 10 by 4-1/2 inches. So you may not be able to put a lettuce head in it without cutting the head. There is another product, The lettuce keeper, which has a 4.7-quart (18-3/4-cup) capacity, and it measures 12-1/2 by 7-1/4 by 5-1/4 inches, so you may be able to fit a whole head of lettuce without cutting.Please contact us if you need additional information or assistance.Shelia

Mine measured just over 36 inches, I have two now and for the last several months I have been growing all of the lettuce my family can eat...

The planter is 14" deep BUT the bottom 3"-4" is the water reservoir. Regardless, its deep enough for veggies and herbs!

I'd say about 2 1/2 feet from the ground to the bottom of the planter, then another 18inches or so to the top edge. I can stand or sit to work in it.

The planter is 16 in. tall. It has only been 2 month so it's holding up okay. I'll know better after it goes through a Minnesota winter. I did discover another problem, however. The plastic containers are too shallow to allow adequate root growth. I'm seeing signs of stress from root compaction. I'm going to have lower the shelf and buy deeper containers. What a pain. Looks great, though.

The panels are packed separately and I believe that you can configure them however you want to. With that said, you'd probably need to purchase two to get the configuration you want. However, as it shows, the back is plenty deep enough to plant tomatoes. I planted tomato plants in the back part and got a very nice harvest. Also you might consider using some of the smaller bush tomato plants as well. The first year I used these, I purchased four plant boxes and placed them corner to corner in a + shape leaving a large square area in the center. That configuration allowed for deep planting. I used plastic L shaped molding to put in the inside corners so that I wouldn't loose all of my dirt when watering. It worked out very nicely. If you can give me your e-mail address, a Facebook page, or a cell phone number I would send you a picture of what I did, if you'd like. I don't think they allow pictures on here, but I will look. If I can find a place I will post it there.

I am sure lettuces would be fine. I do not think tomato plants would be happy here. Probably not green beans either. The beans would need something to grow up on and in this they would just hang down onto the ground and block access to rows behind them. Not enough room here for tomato root structure and the plants would stick straight out and then that weight would likely pull plants right out of their soil. Top shelf does work for a little taller plant because it can grow straight upward.

It get pretty deep took me 10 small bags to fill it up the top is about 2feet deep then 1 then .5. It took more soil them expected. But makes a beautiful bed. I put a trellis is the last one and planted climbers there.

I measured the top shelf and it is 7 inches deep, but the bread box narrows so i don't know what you could put up there.

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.
