I need to borrow some of your brain Sameer. Do you mind?

Just bought several large pots to plant my bare-root roses in.

The tag states that the pot's soil volume is 0 quarts.

The pot measures about 19" X 19".

Can anyone please tell me what the volume of dirt I will need to buy for
these pots?


To get a rough estimate of the volume of the pot, we'll assume it's a
perfect cylinder.
If the pot has a 19" diameter, and is 19" high, then.

volume = pi * (diameter / 2)^2 * height

That is 5384 cubic inches, which when divided by 1728 gives us cubic feet.
Or approximately 3 cubic feet per pot. A 19"x19"x19" box is almost 4 cubic
feet.

So you'll need between 3-4 cuft per pot.
