To calculate the amount of soil that a rectangular flower box can hold, you need to measure the length, width, and depth. Multiply these numbers together and you will then have the cubic measurement. Soil is usually sold by the cubic yard, so you will have to convert your measurements to cubic yards.
The SI unit for the amount of soil a rectangular box can hold is in cubic meters (m³). This unit is commonly used to measure volume, including the volume of soil or any other material that can fill a three-dimensional space.

the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
Loam soil is often considered best for flower production as it provides a balance of drainage and moisture retention, crucial for healthy plant growth. It also offers a good mix of sand, silt, and clay, allowing for proper aeration and nutrient uptake by the plants. Regular testing and amending of soil pH and nutrient levels can further enhance flower production.
The capacity of a flower pot can vary depending on its size and shape. A typical small to medium-sized flower pot can hold 1-5 gallons of soil, while larger pots can hold 10 gallons or more. It's important to choose a pot size that allows for sufficient space for the plant's roots to grow.

The flower that rhymes with soil is the "hoyle," which is a type of plant known for its bright red flowers.
It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
