How much soil do I really need?

New terrace, new pots, new plants?

The Soil & Drainage Calculator lets you know exactly how much soil and drainage material you need for your next project - even how many bags you need to order.

sound familiar?

  • You love buying new plants, pots, and planters but always get the soil amount wrong?

  • You’re overwhelmed by the towering stacks of soil bags at the garden center? And once again, the planters you chose don't say how much soil they need?

  • You want to plant like a pro and add a drainage layer under the soil. But how much do you need to buy?

Use the Soil & Drainage Calculator to find out how much soil and drainage material your planters need. You can choose from cubic feet, liters, gallons or quarts and even get the final number of soil bags you need to buy.

HI, i’m Jenny!

As a garden designer and plant expert for rooftop terraces, I need many (many!) bags of soil and drainage every year. Since estimates don't get me anywhere, I developed the Soil & Drainage Calculator.

It allows you to accurately calculate how much soil and drainage material you need for a planting project.

And now you can have it too: just enter the dimensions of your new planters, and you'll get the exact number of soil and drainage bags calculated for you. Easy!

Or make it even easier and print out my cheat sheet: I've already calculated the soil amounts for 17 common planter sizes for you. This way, you can quickly see how much soil your new favorite planter needs.

This saves you time, money, and your back will thank you!
