Raised Bed Soil Volume Calculator
Figure out exactly how much soil it takes to fill a raised garden bed before you buy a single bag. Enter the inside length and width of the frame in feet and the depth you want to fill in inches, and the calculator returns the volume in cubic feet and cubic yards. It also converts that into the number of standard bags for the size you buy, since bagged garden soil is usually sold in one and a half or two cubic foot bags. Fill depth matters more than people expect, because doubling the depth doubles the soil, so most gardeners fill vegetable beds ten to twelve inches deep. Everything is worked out instantly in your browser, so you can compare bed sizes and depths in seconds without any signup.

Frequently asked questions
How does it work out how much soil a raised bed needs?
It multiplies the bed length by the width and by the fill depth to get the volume, then converts that into cubic feet and cubic yards.
How does it turn volume into bags of soil?
It divides the total cubic feet by the size printed on a typical soil bag, so you get an approximate number of bags to buy.
Should I fill to the very top of the bed?
Most gardeners fill slightly below the rim to hold mulch and water, so entering a fill depth an inch under the bed height gives a realistic amount.
