Growing In Containers is a small collection of free calculators and guides for people who grow food and flowers in pots, planters and buckets.
Container growing comes with its own practical questions: how much soil does this pot need, and is it big enough for this plant? The tools here exist to answer those quickly.
What you will find here
- Soil calculators for pots and planters, in gallons, litres and cubic feet
- Pot size guides for common sizes such as 5 gallon and 12 inch pots
- More tools and plant guides as they are added
About the numbers
The calculators work out volumes from the measurements you enter. Pots vary by maker and shape, so treat the results as good estimates and measure your own pot for the best answer. Nothing you type into a calculator is sent to or stored by this site.
How the site is paid for
Growing In Containers is free to use. Some pages may show advertising or contain affiliate links to products such as pots and grow bags. If you buy through an affiliate link, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Calculator results are never changed to favour a product.
