Enter your beds to see cubic feet, bags and a simple starter blend. Filling a bed from bags gets expensive quickly, so it is worth checking bulk too.
How it works
Length × width × depth for each bed. The blend splits the total into 60% topsoil, 30% compost and 10% aeration material.
Before you order
- Plan for settling, and top up with compost each year.
- Vegetables with deep roots appreciate 12 inches or more of soil.
- Coarse logs or branches can take up space in very deep beds.
