My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

container depth?

17 years ago

I've been growing brassicas and greens in soil boxes in an attached greenhouse. I'm ready to expand winter production and add some more grow boxes. I've been using boxes 1' deep, 2' wide, 3' long, filled with a mix of sand and compost. I'm wondering if 1' is an optimal depth for the new boxes. How deep are your containers? What results do you get?
