PREPARED YIELD

Tapered pot fill around root balls — loose mix volume per selected bag scenarios.

How does changing loose mix volume per selected bag affect tapered pot fill around root balls when the other inputs stay fixed?

What this decision changes

Prepared yield divides the measured demand before whole packages are rounded. Dry package mass and prepared volume must remain separate. Method basis: Pot fill = π × fill height × (top radius² + top radius × bottom radius + bottom radius²)/3; subtract supplied root-ball volume.

The focus is loose mix volume per selected bag. All other shared inputs remain fixed for each evaluated range.
