Soil in a raised bed |
2018-06-24 |

Georgia pose la question : Good Afternoon,
I'm planning on building a raised bed garden measuring
6 feet long x 4 feet wide x 12 inches deep.
I'm not sure how to calculate the amount of soil to fill it up. I will have to
purchase the soil in 2 cubic feet bags.
I've read several articles about this topic on various gardening websites,
and one of them stated it would take a ton of soil to fill up an 8 foot long x
4 foot wide x 12 inch deep raised bed garden.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me out with this quandary.
Thank you for your prompt and courteous response.
Kind Regards,
Georgia Penny Nom lui répond. |

Compacted and uncompacted soil |
2015-12-05 |
|
J.H. pose la question : I am negotiating with a company to sell them land that they would use for excavating soil to be used in construction. I would like to value the land based on the volume of soil they are likely to remove. I have seen several answers, giving the calculation based on 43,650 sq. ft./acre x number of acres x number of feet in depth, divided by 27 to convert the number to cu. yds. However, that is the number when compacted. They pay $.50/yd. of soil removed, but that yd. is not compacted. How do you calculate the number of yds. of uncompacted soil in 1 acre of land?
