(And anyone else with raised bed experience.)

I’ve never really done this before and need help. We just redid the “bed” around our boat buoy and didn’t sink the timbers, instead going for a raised type.

Here is my question - It is 7’ x 7’ and 1 foot deep — how much soil do I need to fill it????

Allowing for settling, and I know this from filling a raised bed last year, I would get 2 cubic yards.
