You'll have plenty in one purchase for that. I do 8" rounds for people and chickens and still have half a bag after several uses. The seed and roots spread out quite a bit, I use a heaping table spoon for the 8"round and by the time the sprouts are four inches tall the roots are an inch high in the container and everything is so green, you'll wish your lawn looked that good.

I wish I could tell you exactly. I haven't even made a dent in my bag & I've sprouted several batches. I imagine it will depend on how thick you sow them in that size container you mentioned. Maybe a nursery could better tell you for the size planters you want to use.

I started Oregano and Parsley in 2 inch and some in 4 inch pots. I put approximately 10 seeds per pot and then weeded the ones out that didn't get a strong start. I believe the Chives could be in an oblong pot at least 6 inches deep. In the 4 inch pots I only let about 3 to 4 seeds stay in because they bulk out as they grow. If needed, you can transplant later but don't start seeds in anything bigger than a 4 inch. I hope this helps and I wish you all success in your herb gardening. :-)

I get the giant bag of sunflower seeds at Fred Meyer here in Alaska. I think it's a 20 or 25 pound bag. The sunflower seeds work great in it. Anything smaller and it would fall out. Hope that helps!

it really all depends on plant size at maturity,container size,ect.but im going to say six 3 1/2 gallon buckets or four 5 gallon buckets depending on alignment,or if you're growing in a tub you can fit a tub 24 inches long,about 15 inches wide and 25 inches tall and still have enough over-head to grow decent size plants before you reach the upper limit...you still have to consider a reflector is atleast 12 inches tall on its ownhope I answered your question

If you are looking to store your seeds in smaller containers, I would suggest 1/2 gal. glass mason jars. My 25lb. bag filled just over 9 of these jars, with enough left over to fill 1/2-3/4 of a quart mason jar. I would also suggest a LARGE mouth funnel (wide mouth canning funnel) to assist in filling said jars. All the jars are stored in my dark and cool pantry.

Take a small zip lock bag. Fold it in half and then again. That is the size, these are small seeds.

5,000 seeds covers 100 sq. feetYou yard is 2,400 sq. feet. You will need either 24 x 5,000 seed packs or you will need 12 x 10,000 seed pack.I recommend getting ONE seed pack, putting it into a growing tray and seeing how they germinate . If they're successful, you can order more.

Hmmm . . . 4 X 4 X almost 1 = about 15 cubic feet. Most big bags of soil are 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, so you'd need about 8 to 10 bags. That sounds about like what we used. We mixed in about a third of coconut coir too, and our veggies are growing like crazy!

If you use the planters full height, the soil you add to it will smother the grass; you don't need to put any liner under it. In fact, you don't want to, so the plants can grow as deep as they want. However, if the soil the grass is in is heavily compacted, it would not be a bad idea to loosen it up a bit. I actually made 6 planters out of 3 by cutting the vertical posts in half; but I tilled up the soil where I was setting the planters down about a foot. Since mine are not very high off the ground, I get grass growing in them just from being near the lawn; along with the usual weeds. You should not have that problem if you keep them at full height.

Azomite recommends that for 12,000 - 15,000 sq. feet you would need a 44lb bag and that is for lawn/landscaping. I have a garden that is roughly 500-700 sq feet and I would use the entire 2lb bag. I generally get a 10 lb bag of azomite and apply 2lb twice a year. This is not fertilizer so it won't burn your plants, thus you can use considerably more than is recommended. So to answer your question, you would want at least 2 (2lb/ea) bags. I would go for a 10lb bag, use half, then re-apply late fall.

I haven't tried to grow wheatgrass, but I've successfully sprouted dozens of other seeds, virtually effortlessly! I would say for wheatgrass, though, you may be better off with a tray & some soil or other growing medium.

I rated this unhelpful because of experience with the 12.5 pound bag. Although the bag says it covers 5000 square feet, using Scotts top of the line spreader, coverage was about 2,400 square feet. So, getting 15,000 square feet with a 15 pound bag is not reasonable.

There's no way to answer this question at this time (with the information you gave). Each bin holds 32 quarts. There's approximately 30 liters in 32 quarts. Look on your bag of seed and see how many liters of seed is in each bag. Then you'll be able to answer this question.

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.

The seeds should be kept in a cool dry place. Unground they last for quiet a bit, once you grind them they should be used within the week. I get the big bag to use for my horses, so refrigeration isn't an option. I keep the bag in a clean garbage can in the garage and use within a few months and never had a problem. 25 lbs goes a long way!**Update**I have been keeping the seeds in an airtight metal container. The last bag I bought was at the beginning of the summer. This past week I ground up the last of it and swept some seeds into the sink. The next day afternoon when I cleaned my drain cover you could see all the seeds had sprouted! I'd say this is a pretty good product and I was storing it well. :) The seeds should be kept in a cool dry place.

About 1.5 cups is good. We used 2.0 cups and the grass was very thick. If there is no air movement a white mold begins to grow. It is not a dangerous mold, its just common to growing wheat grass. If you place a small fan blowing on it and use 1.5 cups you should have very little trouble with the mold. Also get two kinds of trays, one with drain holes and one without.Grow the grass in the ones with the drain holes and place that try inside the one without the drain holes. Use 1 by 1 pieces of wood to raised the inner tray up to keep air circulating. Good luck, it's easy
