The OSU extension service recommends between 15 and 20" of depth for box gardens.
I went 16" by 4' X 8' (six boxes) and got ten yards of garden mix (that's 135 wheel barrow trips-yikes). Need to add a 16 16 16 fertilizer to begin with.
Tomatoes, peppers, summer and winter squash, herbs, artichokes, berries, melons. Good growing season in the Rogue Valley. Very much like the high ground east of Sacramento.
