Q: How much soil do I need to fill this garden bed?
Length x Width x Depth = Total amount of soil you will need. For example the total amount of soil for the 9 in 1 garden bed, using all the parts filled right to the top equals 32.2 cubic feet. This means if you were buying bags of soil:
2 Cubic foot bags =17 bags with a little left over
1.5 Cubic foot bags = 22 bags with a little left over
1 Cubic foot bags = 33 bags
Note: this is filled right to the top, once watered and the soil settles the height will drop.
Q: What can I grow in 17 inches of soil?
At this depth you can grow most vegetables, herbs and flowers even some small shrubs and fruit trees.
Q: Does the garden bed have a bottom or base?
Most standard raised garden beds are bottomless to allow deep root growth and natural drainage. Not ideal for a deck or indoor area.
Q: Can I place on concrete, patio or balcony?
I wouldn't recomend, as placing on either of these will lead to staining, also the weight would be a major concern placing on a balcony.

Placing a layer of cardboard directly on the ground can smother weeds and will breakdown over time, improving soil health. Avoid waxed or glossy cardboard as the ink may contain toxins and may leach into you soil.
