I Love DIY
So, new house has a giant above ground planter box (22'L x 2'W x 3.5'H) on a cement slab that i am rebuilding because it was rotting and they couldnt tell me which variety the existing hop plants were.
Im wondering though if i really need to make it as tall (3.5') as they had it for planting hops.
Each part of the planter box would be segmented into a 60"L x 24"W x 38"H area in an attempt to keep the plants separate as its 4 different varieties.
Doing some math with google sketchup it comes out to about 30 cubic feet of dirt per 'area', and im wondering if I could get away with cutting the height in half and to give each area 15 cubic feet of dirt. Seems to me like that would still be a ton, possibly more than most plants would need and certainly much larger than any pot or other container...
