To calculate the amount of soil that a rectangular flower box can hold, you need to measure the length, width, and depth. Multiply these numbers together and you will then have the cubic measurement. Soil is usually sold by the cubic yard, so you will have to convert your measurements to cubic yards.
3000mm on left 2000 on right =) hope i helped
Amount of soil is measured using volume the SI unit for volume is m3
Loamy soil is the best. It retains just the right amount of water. Clay soil holds too much water, while sandy soil doesn't hold enough.
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
a certain amount of sunlight, food, soil, water
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
In order for soil to increase its ability to hold water it must have a higher amount of clay present in it. The more clay present in the soil, the more water it will hold. The opposite to this is how sandy or grainy the soil is, if it is too sandy then it will not hold water very well.

Effect weathering on soil? Because roots hold soil in place, the amount of erosion with plants will be less than without.

Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.
