Best Answer

The answer depends on several factors: whether the soil is

(a) in a dense state (in the ground),

(b) in a loose state (excavated).

(c) voids (non-solids) saturated with water

(d) voids (non-solids) dry, or partially saturated.

(e) soil type is cohesive or sandy

Examples: Saturated (dry)

Very dense sandy soil 130 (115)

Very loose sandy soil 115 (90)

Very hard clay 115 (90) i.e, dense state

Very soft clay 105 (70) i.e. loose state

A reasonable value for garden soils is 120 lb/ft3 (+-5)

We just purchased a bag of potting soil that was 2 cubic foot and it weighed 80 pounds so my calculation is 40 pounds in one cubic foot.

40 pounds of soil equals .75 cubic foot, not one cubic foot. If the bag weighed only 80 pounds, it is not 2 cubic feet.
