The garden soil calculator determines how much soil you need for raised beds, garden plots, or landscaping projects based on dimensions.
Enter length, width, and depth. The calculator shows volume in cubic feet and yards, bags needed (assuming 1.5 cu ft bags), and estimated cost.
Buying the right amount of soil saves money and extra trips. Bulk soil by the cubic yard is cheaper for large projects; bagged is convenient for small jobs.
