✅ Garden Bed Math

Raised bed top-up checklist

Garden or bed: Date:

  • Watered the bed a few times and waited a week or two
  • Measured the gap near each end and twice in the middle
  • Averaged the four readings
  • Worked out length × width × gap ÷ 12 for each bed
  • Checked the cubic feet printed on the bag before buying
  • Rounded up to whole bags on the total, not bed by bed
  • Wrote the date, gap and bags on the soil record
