what's the soil capacity ?

10 in x 10 in x 10 inch= 1000 cubic inches. Actually probably a bit more like 800 cubic inches because the top of pot is wider than the bottom.

Not sure of actual capacity. We bought several different sizes of these pots, then put a "false bottom" inside each one so soil didn't go all of the way to the bottom. They would be really heavy if filled all the way, and we wanted to allow for drainage. Dead of winter here so they are in storage now so I can't give you any more details, sorry.

The 10 gallon capacity worked well for me. I bought supports that fit into the dirt pot, and the vines wrapped themselves around the supports. Even the raccoons ate the cucumbers.

About 3 - 4 buckets of dirt from a front end bucket on a small tractor. About 16" deep

I used about 10 bags of 2 cubic feet. If you could find some cheap (but clean, uncontaminated) fill dirt, you could use less good quality soil on top.

It all depends on the type of soil and the degree of mineralization but a ballpark guess would be 6 to 9 inches not in wet salt beach .

we were careful....about a cup or 2 for 12 cu ft of dirt. Too early to know the impact however since we did the raised beds with plants this past weekend. Turkey poop is also a great fertilizer!

One pound will absorb up to 35 gallons of rainwater or snowmelt and 20-25 gallons of tap water, depending on the salt content of the water. For large quantities of potting soil or backfill around trees and shrubs use 1.5-2 pounds/ cubic yard of potting soil or backfill or 1 ounce/ cubic foot of soil. For small quantities of potting soil use 1/2 tsp per quart of soil. Note: Since dry granules swell to many times their original size when water is added, 15-20% swelling room must be left in each planting hole or flower pot to compensate. House/Office Plants 6" pot (2/3 gal) - use 1 tsp dry or 2 cups hydrated 8" pot (1 1/2 gal) - use 2 Tbsp dry or 6 cups hydrated 5 gallon pot - use 7 tsp dry or 1 gallon hydrated Note: Mix in lower half of the pot because the water tends to flow quickly through porous potting soil before the granules near the top have time to re-hydrate fully.

It runs approx. 4.5 inches in the center with about 6 inches on the sides. You can get more soil in it but this leaves plenty of room for water etc. It would be a little over 6 inches in the center full to the top.

Hi, Lenore! "It's about this big", with my hands spread out. Giggle. I'm not able to measure it - I apologize if this response is SO late it's ridiculous. I JUST found your inquiry. MINE holds 25 pounds of soil & 12 day lilies, hummingbird hyacinth & another flowering plant whose name escapes me. If I guessed a measurement - now wait, I'm pretty sure the dimensions are somewhere - - I'll be back. Huh. It says, "17 inches" but I was thinking 22. I know this is VERY little help. If you want to see a photo of it, "in action", I'd be happy to show it to you. Jana Hi, Lenore! "It's about this big", with my hands spread out. Giggle.

I don't know the capacity, but can tell you they are very well made and quite substantial.

Not sure, but those big double bags they sell at home depot of miracle grow soil, fills it up I believe. I do know that you don't want to use moisture control soil in it, I had one with it, and the potatoes in the bottom rotted. I ended up getting probably 10-15 pounds of potatoes that were good from both of mine, the ones on the bottom were huge in one, and rotted in the other one with moisture control soil. Just make sure watch the soil and water them. They do work, and are fun.

I can't remember exactly. I bought three beds and used 5-6 bags of 1.5 cu feet soil mix, I think.

About half a cup, depending on the size of the pot. Pour on soil and mix around drip line.

The pH level in the soil. I wanted to be sure I was putting lavendar plants (sensitive to acidic soils) in soil that would support them.

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, contact your county agriculture agent. For a small fee they will test your soil. Look them up on line and they will explain what you need to do..
