The depth of the box is about 13 cm, this is enough for the development, growth of cabbage seedlings before transplanting into the ground to a permanent place.

Before pouring earth into the box, you need to put a piece of agrofibre or dry grass on the bottom, which should be tamped, and also spread on the sides so that the soil does not fall out of the container.
