A daft question I know but I have a container 15" x 15" x 7" (or 38cms x38 cms x 18 cms) and I am trying to find out how much compost do I need to buy to fill the pot please but I don't know how to calculate this. Can anyone help please?

My maths makes it 26 litres, but I stand to be corrected. That's filling it completely, which you won't be doing.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Thanks for the quick reply. Out of interest how did you calculate this please?0

Volume = 38×38×18 = 25992 centimeters3 so 26 litres
