Is there a formula for figuring out how much soil to order for a raised bed? Mine is 4 x 20 feet and I want to put 6 inches in it.

Mommo,
My DH says: 4' x 20' = 80' x .5'= 40 cubic feet of soil needed.
40' divided by 27' (1 cubic yard) = 1.5 cubic yards of soil is needed for your spot.
I would order extra because it's going to settle over the season.
Good luck with your project!
