How many bags of soil for GreenStalk?
How much soil do I need for a GreenStalk Planter? You’ll need roughly 1 cubic foot (or 8 gallons) of potting mix PER TIER. Since this specific planter I have is a 5 tier system, I purchased 6 bags of potting mix just in case. Compost, vermiculite, and peat moss. These three ingredients should be mixed together prior to filling the box. This mix should be free of any weed seeds (a great bonus).
