Growing Cabbage

I have beds made from very large plastic drums which I have made waist high frames to keep them in (sturdy). My question is, "how deep does the root system of Red Cabbages go"? I am on the south coast of NSW and most shops do not have red cabbage. I make a lot of stir frys and coleslaw. Thanks

About 30cm would be enough - but I would make them 50cm deep of soil. I take it you may have used the top/bottom of a 200 liter drum. Or you could cut them long ways - more area of garden.
