Soil Calculator

Calculate how much soil you need for raised beds, planters, garden boxes, and containers.

Soil formula

Soil volume = length × width × depth. For raised beds, measure the inside dimensions of the bed and use the desired soil depth.

Garden tip

Buy a little extra soil if your bed has uneven ground, settling, or deep corners. A 5–10% buffer is usually helpful.
