Find out exactly how much soil your raised bed needs. Enter length, width and depth to get the volume in cubic feet, cubic yards and liters, plus how many bags to buy.

Soil volume is simply length times width times depth, converted to cubic feet. The tool then translates that into cubic yards for bulk orders, liters and gallons for bag shoppers, and tells you exactly how many bags of your chosen size to buy, rounded up so you never come up short.
Bags make sense up to about a cubic yard; beyond that, bulk delivery by the yard is far cheaper per unit. Whichever you choose, buy slightly extra: fresh soil compacts noticeably after the first few waterings, and topping up later costs another trip.
