How many pounds of soil is required to fill the Garden Tower?

Not sure since just received it -- but directions say about 8 cubic feet, if that helps

one pound of Azomite, for me, does a 4' x 12' raised bed. I just sprinkle it on and let the rain soak it into the soil. Very easy application. I have six raised beds and use 6 lbs of Azomite plus I use a powdered fertilizer I get from Gardens Alive. The azomite puts in the minerals and that's what makes fruits and veggies "sweet" tasting.

The beds are as deep as the box, there's no filler underneath. We used approximately 5 cu yards of soil (We ordered 5, had some left). You can plant anything you want in there. I absolutely LOVE this garden. Hope this is helpful.

6 to 8 inches depending on the make up of the soil and the size and make of the find. On average around 6 inches though.

I think one foot per pot, less the root ball of the plant. I cubic ft. per pot would be more than enough.

You will need to also purchase Sphagnum Moss from Orchard Supply or other source. The EarthBox instructions will specify how much to buy. This "moss" becomes the "soil" that you plant into.

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.

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

I don't remember how many pounds but it fills about 8- 6" net pots full with nothing in them.

I used a full 12-qt dry bag and about 1/3 of a second bag for the herbs I planted in mine. So I'm guessing about 16 dry qts. of soil. I love this unit so much I bought a second one to expand my herb gardening next year.

All I am able to tell you is what EarthBox says to use. They say to use 1 lb. of Dolomite for their Large EarthBox mix it into top 3-4 inches of mix at initial planting and each year when replanting. It looks like a pound is 1 & 1/2 cups.

It is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 inches high. That would come out to about 11 cubic feet of soil material. This assumes a flat surface below and that you will not be mounding above the top of the walls. Check the volume on the bag of garden soil you are going to buy. They can be anywhere between 0.5 CF to 4 CF

You will need around 500 lbs. to fill it, however we only put 300 and it does just fine for kids to play in. Just your preference.

5 bags of 2 cubic feet. Before I turned soil and put down 2 cubic feet of peat moss. Any deep rooted vegetables, like tomatoes, need 1-3 feet root depth.

not sure the max. but I have a concrete urn with plant. Must weigh at least 50 pounds.

10 50lb bags of play sand was enough to fill it 3/4 of the way. The directions say it can hold 17 bags and I'm assuming that amount would fill it very close to the top.

I built mine last year I used 90x40 lb bags of soil from Lowes at 1.25 a bag, my husband had cut down some Cedar trees so I also put in a wheelbarrow load of Cedar mulch, depth is around 20 inches (that is filling it right to the top), last year I grew carrots, peas, a few lettuces and a Jalapeno (best Jalapeno's ever), this year I am trying a few potatoes, carrots and lettuces. Hope this helps.
