This is the same answer I gave on your other thread!

3 gallons = 12 quarts. 30% of 12 quarts is 3.6 quarts (3.5 is close enough). So, for each "bag" allow 3.5 quarts of Perlite and 8.5 quarts of Soil mix.
I've seen you post this same thing a number of times now, congrats on being a select few who understand 'quarts'... am I stupid for thinking this is one hell of a crazy measurement scale?

to the original poster.. eh? fill your pot, wet or dry really makes no difference

Not really. The whole "Imperial" system sucks! Why the hell should a "mile" be 5,280 "feet" it just doesn't make any sense. In the U.S. we adopted the English Imperial System (way back when!), now, even they use the Metric System! I wonder if the London Pubs still serve "Pints", or "1/2 Liters"?
