Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bulk density is an indicator of soil compaction. It is calculated as the dry weight of soil divided by its volume. This volume includes the volume of soil particles and the volume of pores among soil particles. Bulk density is typically expressed in g/cm3.
Detailed explanation-2: -To get the amount of cubic feet of soil instead of cubic yards, you would take you measurements in feet & multiply the length x width x depth = how many cubic feet of product you need to fill the volume of this garden or raised bed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The degree of saturation is defined as the ratio of the volume of water present in the given soil mass to the volume of voids present in it.
