Soil volume formula

Cubic feet = length × width × (depth ÷ 12). Cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27.

Planning notes

Soil can settle after placement, particularly in deeper beds. For an irregular garden, calculate several simple sections and add the results together before ordering.

  • Fresh soil settles after filling; consider a small allowance.
  • Raised beds can often be partially filled with compost or other suitable material depending on your plan.
