Dear first timer.

I have done 2'by4ft planters, my dear at the time brand new husband made
them for me.  We used the recipe for soil and had a pretty good garden.  We
did planters because we were renting and I thought we could take them with
us.  Well for the first move we did, but they were extremely HEAVY.  Those
beautiful planters with PERFECT soil now sit in a field in colorado, and we
now reside in Idaho.  IF YOU PLAN ON MOVING THEM WITH THE SOIL I RECOMMEND
2'BY2'
OR 1'BY4'.  Also found the deeper the better.  Our containers were fast to
dry out .Hope this helps
