Will this garden be deep enough to plant carrots?

It should be. Some varieties might need some more depth, but I think you'd be okay with most varieties at nearly 11 inches deep.

We planted short carrots and corn in this, along with other vegetables, such as peas, tomatoes, etc. which all did really well. We also use a weed barrier below the dirt, so the roots won't have a chance to grow through. Because of that, I would recommend short or baby carrots. If you have cultivated the soil below the planter so the carrots can extend lower, it should be ok to use standard carrots.

Yes, and anything else you want to plant , it is 2 ft deep and plenty wide.

Adjustable tilling depth, up to 5 inches offers the versatility to dig for the right planting depth.

Having a deeper root bed for some vegetables can be useful, also it can help keep the plants from growing into one another to a small degree. Other than that it is probably mainly an aesthetic choice.

Yes you can. Like any other seed, plant in a shallow hole (1/4" deep or less).

My wife and I grew cucumber plants and tomato plants from seed to about 6"-8" before it was nice enough for them to go outside. Must have had around a dozen plants under it. That being said I'm sure flowers will be happy under it. I have also used them for larger plants ;)

They recommend you layer with newspaper before adding soil,it worked well for me. I planted some bell peppers, det. tomatoes, basil, and parsley. I have other raised beds and this by far was the easiest to put together.

My husband said yes. It shows on the box how you can do that he said. Great garden and more than enough output for a family just starting a garden. We did lots of tomatoes, wax peppers, cucumbers, 4 different herbs, green beans and small onions.

NO, but the dirt is quite heavy when it's filled and I agree with the other respondent that it's not necessary. That is, unless you are using it for something other than filling it with dirt and planting stuff. We love it for our side children's garden for veggies and flowers.

Yes. These are amazing things to grow veggies in. I used two like this last summer and yielded plenty in each. Just be sure to fill them all the way to the top as the soil will settle. Plants need all the depth they can get. I grew long carrots in my bag they turned out fine. Also grew round ones. Im going to stick to the full length carrots as it yields more per sq ft. I also got some smaller bags and grew potatoes with good results. Im buying more this year. During winter I piled them high with leaves and compost. They look as good as new and I have had them almost a year.

Sure, in the right material--soil would be best, just like a garden. I'm not sure how big they'd get. Todd's has a lot of information available about their products, so you might want to check their website.

Yes and in multiple ways. I would suggest going lengthwise so you can easily garden, weed and reach your plants. Also put in the middle support boards so it doesn't bow.

glad to help- it's quite deep AND wide- being winter, they're in storage right now, but, last summer i was able to put 2 6" pots and 4 plants out of a 6-pack as well as 2 small creeping jenny's or vinca's in each one- my guess is the depth is 10" or more on the longer part and approx. 8" on the shorter part. they are made of a very durable and thick plastic- will definitely last for years- good luck with your growing and hope this helps :)

Not really. Make sure there is a lot of drainage. I planted my in two places in above ground beds. The smaller bed had a liner and poor drainage. The other bed was larger than a car and had drainage. There was a huge size difference. The largest plants reached about 16 inches. The smallest one only reach about four inches in the smaller bed.

The blades go down about 4 inches. You'd have to move the dirt you tilled, then till some more to go deeper. I think it was worth the money for me for everyday planting, and maintaining flower beds. If you have a big vegetable garden, you may need something bigger

Hi, that is a great question and that is exactly what I was worried about, too. So I bought a double set of the raised beds and put one on top of the other for a total height of 12 inches. I grew exactly those vegetables this summer... tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, beets, cucumbers and parsley and it worked perfectly after I filled it with good compost and potting soil. It seemed just exactly the right height. I don't know for sure if just the 6" would work ok, but 12" was perfect.

There is no bottom piece so that the roots can go deeper into the soil. Think of this as a mini fence around the plants.
