I need a total of 360 sq. ft. of soil. The bags are 2 cu. ft. How many sq ft are in a cu. ft?

Thanks

Don't you mean cubic feet?
if you need 360ft^3 and the bags hold 2ft^3, then it's 360/2= 180 bags

best bet is to buy it in bulk instead of bags

I said cubic feet for the bags. I am making a garden that is going to be 12ft (l)x10 ft. (w)x3ft (deep)= 360 sq. ft. I was trying to figure out how many sq. ft were in 2 cu. ft. Fioravati said 1.5 (rounded off) According to that I will need 2 bags @ 2 cu ft each to cover 3 sq. ft. Which is roughly 240 bags. I think. I would buy in bulk but I'm not sure where to get some good top soil in that amount. Plus I was going to mix it with Miracle -Gro at a 3/1 basis. 3 top soil vs.1 Miracle-Gro.

3 dimensional , ft^3

180 bags is a lot, you might want to call a small dump truck

13.5 cubic yard is about 360ft^3

also, please ignore what the other person said
honestly if you don't trust this, you can simply ask the store you're buying from. They'll be able to calculate it for you

ft * ft * ft = cubic ft not sq ft

A normal dump load is around 13 yards. Just get one.
e/ Why am I bumping this -.-..
