Before you use the answer
Use measurements from the actual bed, container or watering zone and keep them with a dated garden record. Defaults illustrate arithmetic rather than plant-specific requirements. Soil condition, weather, crop variety and growth stage can change what amount or spacing is appropriate.
Subtract existing soil and leave intended headroom; settling can increase later top-up needs.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
