I am doing a 5x5x2' box. I believe that is 2 yards worth of soil if I did the math right...which is a Lil under 400 gallons. Is that right?When making your own pots, remember size equals soil needed to fill. It is easy to make big pots. Filling them, not so much.
Cylinder Volume {in cubic inches} = 3.14159265 x radius squared x height
. . . . and to put that into gallons, you would divide by 231.
So a pot 32 inches across and 18 inches high would be 62 2/3 gallons.
3.14159265 X (16 X 16) X 18 / 231 = 62.668
