Basically a cube measuring 3 feet by 3feet by 3 feet. 1 cubic yard.
Imagine a box 3 feet high by 3 wide and 3 feet deep. That is one (cubic) yard.
On one site I found the weight of one cubic yard of topsoil listed as 1,35 US tons
If you have a garden that is 24 yards and has top soil 3 inches deep, the volume of one of those yards, including yard 3, is 3.
Depending on the material and moisture content anywhere from around a ton to 1.5 tons.
10" x 10" x 3' A "Yard" refers to a cubic yard, which is 3'x3'x3'

Depends on the man. About 15 minutes. Easily.

It is difficult to answer this without knowing what the cubic yard contains. A ballpark estimation would be one of the most common consumer purchases of something delivered by the cubic yard, top soil. A relatively dry, screened, cubic yard of top soil will weigh approximately 2400 lbs. For our friends in the rest of the world, 2400 lb = 1088.621 kg (or 1.08862 mt).
A good average density for topsoil is 100 pounds per cubic foot. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, and so one cubic yard weighs around 2,700 pounds.2,700/40 = 67.5Therefore, it will take about 67.5 forty pound bags to make one cubic yard of topsoil.

Well.....A cubic yard is a measure of volume, so the answer is....it takes a cubic yard (IE it would fill a box that was one yard wide by one yard long by one yard high. If you follow this link (http://www.rexius.com/faq.html) you will see a cubic yard of soil typically weighs around 1300 to 1600 lbs. To give you an alternate form of measurement, you are looking for 27 cu ft to fill a cubic yard of topsoil.

When referring to garden or building materials such as top soil, ready-mix concrete, etc., the term yard is usually used as an abbreviation of cubic yard. In actuality, yard is a length or distance equal to three feet or 36 inches, and a cubic yard is a volume equivalent to a cube one yard long, one yard wide, and one yard deep.
