- Enter applied depth in mm.
- Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.
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.
This is water reaching the stated area. Runoff, interception and uneven distribution can reduce useful infiltration.

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.
