How does the tool account for soil settling?

The `get_soil_volume` tool includes a compaction factor, which is a multiplier that accounts for the natural settling of soil after it is poured and watered.

Can I convert units from inches to centimeters?

Yes, you can use the `convert_dimensions` tool to switch between imperial and metric measurements easily.

How many bags of soil should I buy?

Once you have calculated your total volume, use `get_soil_by_bag_count` to find out exactly how many bags are needed based on the specific bag size you intend to purchase.
