It depends on what's in the soil and how big your hands are.
Weight of drum + Weight of soil = weight of drum and soil. Get some scales.
=~1t. or 1000kg
It all depends on the weight of the soil and what type of soil it is to find how much two feet of soil weighs.
The weight of 1 square inch of soil can be any positive number. It simply depends on how high the 1 square inch column of soil is.
600-800 pounds dry, wet double that

It all depends on the weight of the soil and what type of soil it is to find how much two feet of soil weighs.
Density of loose soil is about 1200 kg/m3 1 cubic meter of soil may weigh more than this if compacted or moist.
That depends greatly on the moisture content of the soil.
Soil weighs about 2.5 times as much as water, which weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. However, one must estimate the porosity (void space) in the soil. Assuming 30% soil porosity means that one gallon of soil would weigh (0.7 x 2.5 x 8 pounds/gallon) about 14 pounds. Therefore, if full to the brim with soil (relatively dry), the drum would weigh about 770 pounds (that is, 55 gallons x 14 pounds/gallon). In reality, there is a range of possible weights, depending on soil density, moisture content, soil composition, etc.
An ecosystem is a place where any organism lives. It can be as small as a hand full of soil or as big as the world.

Zinnias survive in damp but well drained soil, grow in humus rich soil in full sun
