Calculate how much soil you need to fill a garden bed or raised bed.
Soil Volume
— cubic yards
For the bed.Usage Tip
A blend of about two-thirds topsoil to one-third compost gives a good base for most raised vegetable beds.
THE MATH
cubic yards = (length × width × depth ÷ 12) ÷ 27
Soil fill is the bed length times width times depth, converted to cubic yards. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.
Enter the bed length, width, and fill depth.
For raised beds, measure the inside dimensions and the fill height you actually want.
