How much soil one would need is done by measureing x the depth you want. Water and what you produce depends on too many variables-soil,mulch,particular plants needs,etc.Since you are starting from scratch, use the best soil you can , if you can get compost that would be even better. I keep a 55 gal barrel in the garden for making compost tea and watering when needed.But I do water with a sprinkler because we have our own well.Mulching will greatly help to retain moisture and keep the plants roots cool.
