Internet Security, music, and Dad Jokes. And pets - it's a blog, after all.
Sounds like a lot until you start spreading it around.
Chief Brody sez you're gonna need a bigger shovel.
A yard is a cube, 3x3x3. In mulch, it should weigh about 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per yard-ish. So, three yards should be close to 4,500 to 6,000 pounds. What did you haul it in? If it was a 1/2ton pickup or a single-axle trailer, it should have been on the bump-stops or damned close.I guess what I'm saying is that 3 yards is a lot of dirt, so if you weren't on the bump stops, you got shorted.If you're laying it down in a true 3" layer (which is a lot), 3 yards should cover 246 square feet. THat's a 10 x 24 rose garden. Or a 5x50. If any of this isn't panning out in your head, then you got shorted.
