Hi Bonnie,I ordered 2 sets of these. I haven't used them yet, but the bag says it holds 14.5 gallons of compost. I plan to plant in them soon. Good luck.

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!

I think it took about 1-1/2 large bags of potting mix. We have had great results with this, by the way.

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

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.

You use a 3 gallon size compostable bag. 16.9" x 17.7" is the measurements of the bag I'm using.

I made the mistake of not using the center dividers, and my bed bows way out at the sides when it rains or gets watered.Apr 2, 2014 by shoespAnother person said it takes 12 to 14 bags. I didn't keep track but I mixed a goodly portion of spagnum peat moss with the bags of garder soil. The recommendation on the soil bags said to mix in regular soil but this seems to have worked.

I do not calculate when I use as it all depends on how deep and how well spread you mix it with ground soil. But I will use about 5 -10 pounds at least. Since the granule is fine, it will soak well and penetrate deep as time goes on. it works really wel here for my desert soil to grow tropical plants and veggies. Be generous is my principle.

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.

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

About 14 cubic feet. Each bag of soil is labeled, usually 1.5 - 3 cu. feet. I also ordered a bag of Perlite from Amazon. This will keep your soil loose and prevent it from becoming compacted.

I'm doing a 55 right now. I used 3 bags but wish I would've used 4. Might top it off with some cheaper stuff and let the plants roots grow down into this stuff

The bag is a cylinder about 24" long & ~14" in diameter. You loose a lot of suction when it gets over 15 to 20% fullA gallon is 0.133681 cubic feet

I used two bags of 2 cu ft sized garden soil which filled the bed 3/4, leaving an inch or two of siding exposed. Another reviewer recommended 3 bags. I'm only starting flower seeds so I think it depends on what you will grow and how big the roots will be.

It drains well, but it holds some moisture, it seems to have about 1 % peralite in it , it is super rich for plants like corn , nutrient suckers,.. it can be cut with another bag of sand or peralite!I think this is the best potting soil money can buy, the blend , and inert ingredients, HAPPY GARDENING

One bag is enough for about a one inch layer of in a 30 gallon tank. So no, not really; you'll want at least a 2" substrate for plants to be happy, and that's why you're planning on buying Flourite, isn't it? I used one bag of this and two 12 lb bags of Carib Sea Flora Max in my 30 gal. Plant growth is great. I do use additional fertilizers, though.

I don't know the exact weight but I have mine full to the top of the holes in front with potting soil and 3 medium size plants and water it well every week and have had no problem. Potting mixture would be lighter but I prefer soil.
