As any gardener knows, having the right soil is vital to any successful plant growth. After learning of several different soil recipes, I discovered most of them were listed as ratios, or in parts. Calculating how much of each ingredient is needed takes time and is error prone, so I built this tool to do it for us.
You can also view this tool on my personal website at https://www.samueleddy.com/garden-tools
HOW TO USE:
- Input the amount of soil you need and select the units. If you're using a container, the volume should be listed somewhere on it, and if you're using a raised bed, the volume should be on the packaging.
- Click 'add ingredient' until you have a row for each ingredient in your soil recipe. To delete a row, simply select the checkbox for that row and press 'delete ingredient'.
- Next, input the number of parts for each ingredient.
- When you're finished, click the calculate button, and you'll find out exactly you much you need of each ingredient.
