How much soil to fill a raised bed?
Multiply the bed's length × width × height (all in feet) to get cubic feet, then multiply by the number of beds. A common mix is roughly 60% topsoil, 30% compost and 10% aeration (like perlite). Fill to about an inch below the rim so soil doesn't spill when watered.
