You should have at least 12 inches of soil for root growth and plant stability. The rest of the height is simply for the gardener's convenience. In your box, that means around 1 cubic foot of soil. The rest is up to you. For instance, some gardeners use yard waste (leaves, pine straw) as filler; some use rocks. It depends on how sturdy the sides are.
