Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
Our calculator provides estimates based on standard soil density. Actual needs may vary slightly depending on soil compaction and specific product characteristics.
Should I buy extra soil?
We recommend purchasing 10-15% more soil than calculated to account for settling and to have some extra for future plantings.
What’s the difference between potting soil and garden soil?
Potting soil is specifically formulated for containers with better drainage and aeration, while garden soil is designed for in-ground planting and may compact in containers.
