Garden Soil Calculator

Calculate garden soil volume from bed area, soil depth and an optional bag size.

Optional. Enter the volume printed on one bag to calculate whole bags.

How it works

The calculator multiplies the measured area by application depth and optionally adds an extra percentage.

volume = area × depth × (1 + extra %)

Worked example

A 20 ft × 10 ft area at 3 in deep can be converted directly to cubic feet and cubic yards.

Assumptions

  • Application depth is assumed uniform.

Limitations

  • Bulk material settles and bag yields vary; use supplier information for purchasing.
