How many lbs of soil is needed?

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

Jason is correct about 32 cubic feetIt is difficult to go by weight as different types of soil have different weights

I cannot tell you the exact ammount. I can tell you I purchased a large bag of potting soil and I was able to fill two planters with soil left over. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Sylvia! I think we used 2 regular bags of soil. It definitely wasn't as much as I thought would be required!

About 1 Pound mixed into top 4 inches of each earth box. 5 LB. should do 5 earthboxes.

As I am still adding soil to my 2 bags, so this is going to be a guess, at best! I am using 62-64 dry quart bags of organic soil and feel that I will probably use at least 1 full bag and perhaps another 3-4 quarts for both of my potato bags! Hope this helps!

You will need approximately 3 yards of soil. Also there would be about 18 inches of dirt, I would think that you would be able to plant carrots.

Just regular soil. You can get some soil out of the yard or just buy some. No specific steps. Just plant it in the pot with the soil and water.

A small 5 to 10 lb bag did the trick. I would only mix the coconut if what you are planting something that needs to stay moist

Most people use 1 or 2 pounds per 10 square feet , I on the other do not use the Azomite in that manner. I mix 1 whole bag per 160ibs of compost and organic soil. Yes you can apply the Azomite a month before planting in your soil.

I used water in mind, because it was for a 6 year old, but if you want more stability use sand. The diameter of the base is about 24 inches (2 feet), the depth is about 14 inches, I used the below site to calculate the number of lbs needed to completely fill the base, you'll need between 250 to 270 lbs of sand. http://www.kidsafesand.com/Sand%20Calculator.html?diameter (use the Round Sand Boxes calculator on the right).

if you're asking how many pounds come in a bag it depends on how many order. If you're asking how many bags how many pounds use for bag the recommended ratio is 1 to 2 mycelium to substrate, in other words if you have one pound of ready to grow material you need two pounds of substrate.

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

Not too heavy to use, but it sure would be a workout. I've found that raising it in the air then striking down & prying it side to side worked best. I made the strikes in a square pattern then used a traditional post hole digger to remove the broken up soil. I'm 66 and 5'7'. Still a workout, but a short rest between cycles & persistence works. Still better & faster than the traditional post hole digger alone. Good Luck

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.

Not a lot...I made the mistake of buying the biggest bag of growstones available. You only need enough to fill you netty-pots that you your seedling will go in to - about 1/2 pound-1 pound max for 6 inch net-pot. (these rocks are very light and absorb water and oxygen very well.

I'm not sure by pounds but we filled ours with two outdoor garbage cans of sand- we are estimating about 250 pounds- it could use a little more but they just dump it over the side if it's too full.

Good afternoon, Ron. The approx. amount of soil/mix is 18 liters. Thank you, Sarah | Plow & Hearth Customer Service
