This garden soil calculator helps you determine the right amount of soil needed for your garden.
Garden Soil Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the total volume and weight of soil needed for your garden. Simply input the dimensions of your garden and the desired soil depth. Optionally, you can also input the soil density.
How to Use:
- Enter the length and width of your garden in meters.
- Enter the desired depth of the soil in meters.
- Optionally, enter the soil density in kilograms per cubic meter. If left blank, the calculator will use the default value of 1500 kg/m³.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total soil needed in cubic meters and the total weight in kilograms.
Calculation Method:
The calculator first computes the volume of the garden soil using the formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
Next, it calculates the weight of the soil using the formula:
Weight = Volume × Soil Density
Limitations:
1. The calculator assumes the garden has a rectangular or square shape. For irregular shapes, you may need to divide the garden into smaller sections and use the calculator for each section.
2. The default soil density is 1500 kg/m³. Different types of soil may have different densities, which can affect the accuracy of the weight calculation. If unsure, you may want to consult a local expert for the exact soil density.
