Now I'm getting confused.  I see that garden soil comes in .75, 1.5,or 2 foot bags.  What I need to know is how many bags I will need to fill my bed.  I will fill the bottom, maybe with old logs I have, to avoid buying so much soil.  Why is this so confusing to me!

@gardenman  Do you see any issues with filling the bottom of the bed with old logs as stated by @Biftu . I'm asking because my DD is making one for my GD to plant carrots. (Long story involving chicken manure in the regular garden...) And, I thought certain kinds of wood affect pH of soil.

There can be issues. Decaying wood can consume nutrients and affect the soil pH. I wouldn't expect it to have a dramatic impact though.

@PA Mom-mom If your're planning on planting standard carrots, you'll need the 13" deep soil.
