Topic: Density of seed compost

Is there anyone reading this who knows, or can measure, the density of seed compost, such as Levington's please?

Such as by measuring a cylindrical pot and weighing it empty and also full of out-of-the bag, unwatered, seed compost.

It gets sold in bags measured in litres but I am wondering how heavy is a litre.

Thank you.

21.5  kg is 30 litres, so 0.716 kg per litre.

Good, thank you.

You’re welcome, William, but I’m curious as to what you intend to do with the information!
