Figure out how to calculate cubic feet for a cylinder and that'll tell you. I used to know but forgot.

CoCo Coir Expands when it's wet. It's compressed into a brick. From what I understand you can't calculate the weight to gallons of a container.

That's why I said to calculate cubic feet. Because weight will differ based upon water content. That, and almost all growing mediums list cubic feet.
