It’s handy to switch to the same units listed on your product bag. You may want to add a few extra inches to allow for how potting mix compresses when moist. The bottom diameter of the pot is 1 foot ( or 12 inches).The top diameter of the pot is 1 foot 3 inches.Let’s calculate how much potting mix is needed to fill a flower pot. The product cost at our local plant nursery is $55.75 per cubic yard (plus taxes and delivery). To continue the garden bed example, we will estimate the cost of a bulk delivery of soil to fill 1 bed in the dimensions we provided (in Step 1). If you are buying in bulk, enter the cost per cubic yard or cubic meter. If you want to estimate the total cost of materials (soil, mulch, compost, or potting mix), provide the basic product information-based on the bag size and price where you shop. If you want to save your results without estimating costs, click Summary to jump to that section. If you want to start over, click Try again. If you want to edit your inputs click Edit. The results box also shows the total volume of soil needed to fill 2, 3, 4, and 5 garden beds of the same dimensions. We’ve selected cubic yards as our units because we’re going to buy soil in bulk and it is sold by the cubic yard. Use the dropdown menu to view your calculation in any of these units: For desired soil depth, we want 8 inches.Īfter clicking Calculate Amount Needed this is what we see:.The length of the garden bed is 11 feet 4 inches ( or 136 inches).The width of the garden bed is 7 feet 2 inches.how deep you want the soil (“desired depth”).To calculate the total volume of soil needed, we need 3 measurements:
