The volume in cubic feet.
Bagged potting soil, compost and mulch in North America are sold by the cubic foot, and concrete mixers and wheelbarrows are rated by drum or tray volume in cubic feet. For a box-shaped space, multiply length × width × height, all in feet.
Volume
56.63 L
1 ft = 0.3048 m exactly, so 1 cubic foot = 0.3048³ m³ = 28.316846592 L exactly. Round only the final figure, and buy bagged material by the whole bag count the volume needs.

How this was calculated
Formula source(s)
- NIST SP 811, Appendix B — 1 ft³ = 0.02831685 m³
- International yard and pound agreement, 1959 — the foot is exactly 0.3048 m, so 1 ft³ = 0.3048³ m³ = 28.316846592 L exactly
- BIPM, The International System of Units (SI Brochure), 9th edition — the litre is 1 dm³ = 0.001 m³

Plans and products from North America describe volume in cubic feet — bagged potting soil and bark, concrete mixer drums, wheelbarrow trays, refrigerator capacities, compressor tanks — while European catalogues, specifications and bag labels use litres. This converter sits between the two whenever a plan from one market meets a product from the other. The factor is exact, so the errors that matter happen around it: a mixer's drum size is not the batch it can mix, which is smaller and usually stated separately, and a volume of loose bagged material shrinks once it is placed and firmed. Convert the measured volume, then allow for both before counting bags or loads.
