How many bags of dirt does it take to fill the bed?

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.

I used approximately 8 bags. It worked well. Now the bed is full of healthy plants.

It takes about 10 minutes to fill with a small electric pump. Once filled, it is as big as a twin bed. Hard to empty if you fill it with water but great as a tanning bed.

I filled up two 4'X3' (7" thick) dog beds and used less than half of the box.

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.

You'd have to have a manual pump which would take forever. Or a generator I'm afraid. This bed is huge.

I think we started ours with the two bags of 200 and ended up getting 9 bags total. 9 makes it really full but not necessarily needed. I would say maybe 4-5 bags is plenty since most of the work is getting them out. :) Hope that helps

I can get 2 loads easily - if you have many bed sheets it might be slightly less.

It takes 20 bags of soil. That's approximately 40 pounds each. If your deck can hold 800 pounds, plus retaining water from rain or watering.

One filled bag is usually big enough for one medium sized load in a Laundromat

I used three bags to fill my 20L (30in X 12in) tank, this gave me a bed depth of approximately 2.5in. That is about 900 cubic inches of substrate (30in X 12in X 2.5in = 900in^3) roughly that means you will get about 300 cubic inches per bag. So for your 55 (48in X 12 X 2in = 1152in^3) (1152 / 300 = 3.84) I would recommend purchasing purchasing 4 bags of substrate, to acquire a bed depth of 2in. For other bed depths just calculate the volume of the substrate you would like (L X W X H = V) and divide that number by 300 (V/300 = # of bags) to roughly determine how many bags you should purchase. Hope you find this helpful.

not sure I have not put it together yet due to snow outside. However, kidcraft website says 12-14 bags of sand. I do not know how full that much sand would make it though, I would say probably at least 10 bags to make it deep enough to play with but not over flowing.

I used 1/3 of a bag in my 3 tier strawberry bed at a depth of about 2 inches, so at this depth I would guess 2 bags would be sufficient. However, I always like to have more than what I think I need just to be safe and it's very easy to store.

Many combo's of mixed dirt, peralite and other additives will vary by weight, I mix me a full wheel barrel of a few goodies that fills 2 of these bags, I leave mine about 3 inches from the top works great. You won't find a better deal had mine a couple years heavy duty and you can moved them filled no problem,,, Buy a couple NOW YOU WILL LIKE

Don't know for sure but have probably used less than half of one bag and estimate we have washed over 40 loads.

I would suggest two bags to fill it up. I have a child's size bean bag and I needed a whole bag to fill it so it was comfortable.

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.

4 to 5 bags depending on how many stones you use. Be sure to drill holes in the bottom!
