Raised bed soil mix calculator
Measure your project. Make a clearer plan.
Split raised-bed fill into two volume components and price each separately.
Clear math. Better decisions.
A worked example
An 8 × 4 ft bed with 12 inches to fill holds 32 cu ft. A 30% share is 9.6 cu ft before extra.
Before you order
- Split raised-bed fill into two volume components and price each separately.
- The 30% starting share is a math example, not a recommended soil recipe. Both prices use the displayed volume unit.
Good questions.
Where do the prices come from?
You enter actual supplier prices. A blank price is unknown; enter zero only when that item is free or deliberately excluded. Taxes and installation are excluded unless a field explicitly includes them.
Can I use metric measurements?
Yes. The unit selector converts dimensions and unit prices. Results use whole packages where applicable. Starting dimensions are examples; confirm product specifications before ordering.
