One cubic yard is equivalent to 27 cubic feet. Since each bag of mulch covers 2 cubic feet, you would need 27 divided by 2, which equals 13.5 bags. Therefore, you would need 14 bags of 2 cu ft mulch to cover 1 cubic yard, rounding up to ensure complete coverage.
The conversion of tons to cubic yards for mulch can vary depending on the type and moisture content. However, a common estimate is that one ton of mulch is approximately equal to 1.5 cubic yards. Therefore, 3 tons of mulch would be about 4.5 cubic yards. Always check with your supplier for specific conversions based on the mulch type.
To determine how many yards of mulch you need for 485 square feet, you first need to decide on the depth of the mulch layer. A common depth for mulch is 3 inches. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard, so for 3 inches (or 0.25 feet), you would calculate: 485 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 121.25 cubic feet. Dividing that by 27 gives you approximately 4.49 cubic yards, so you would need about 4.5 yards of mulch.
The amount of mulch that fits in a bucket depends on the size of the bucket. A standard 5-gallon bucket can hold approximately 0.67 cubic feet of mulch when filled to the top. If you're using a smaller bucket, like a 2-gallon one, it would hold about 0.27 cubic feet. Always consider compaction and settling when measuring mulch for your gardening needs.
To calculate the amount of mulch needed for a 30 ft by 18 ft area, first find the total square footage: 30 ft × 18 ft = 540 square feet. Mulch is typically sold by the cubic yard, and a depth of 3 inches (0.25 feet) is common for landscaping. To convert the area to cubic yards, use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet × depth in feet) / 27. Thus, you would need approximately 5 cubic yards of mulch for this area.
One cubic yard of mulch will cover approximately 160 square feet at 2" deep, so you would need approximately two cubic yards of mulch to cover 271 square feet at 2" deep.
You would need 1,260 cubic feet of mulch to cover an area of 28 x 45 feet. This is calculated by multiplying the length (28 ft) by the width (45 ft) to get the total square footage (1,260 sq ft) and then multiplying by the desired depth of mulch.
When you say a yard, you are actually saying a cubic yard. If you were to place the much in a 3 foot high by 3 foot wide by 3 foot tall cube, it would exactly fill the cube. How much it covers depends on how deeply you spread it. Since you should spread it at a dept of no less than 4 inches, it should cover about 20 square feet. If you spread it deeper than that, it will of course, cover less area.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
One cubic yard is equivalent to 27 cubic feet. Since each bag of mulch covers 2 cubic feet, you would need 27 divided by 2, which equals 13.5 bags. Therefore, you would need 14 bags of 2 cu ft mulch to cover 1 cubic yard, rounding up to ensure complete coverage.
6 It depends how deep you want it.
Well, gee, I think that would be 2 bags. But if you have found a bag that is 2 cubic yards, that is ONE HUGE BAG...Enough to fill the back of a pick-up truck. I think you better look into your phrasing, one cubic yard of mulch will cover 100 square feet, or an area that is 10' x 10'. IMPROVED ANSWER: I think you mean that 1 bag of mulch will cover 2 cubic feet. That's the standard bag sold at Lowes & Home Depot. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3'=27). Therefore 4 cubic yards is equal to 108 cubic feet. You would need 54 bags (108/2=54).
The conversion of tons to cubic yards for mulch can vary depending on the type and moisture content. However, a common estimate is that one ton of mulch is approximately equal to 1.5 cubic yards. Therefore, 3 tons of mulch would be about 4.5 cubic yards. Always check with your supplier for specific conversions based on the mulch type.
I spread that mulch all over the flowerbeds yesterday.

It would depend on what you are measuring. A cubic yard of mulch is lighter than a cubic yard of gravel.

You can either do it manually with this calculation: Length x Width x Depth -- for depth, this would be a fraction of a foot In your case= 5x19x(2/12) = 15.8333 CUBIC FEET --- about 8 bags of 2 cu. ft or 6 bags of 3 cu. ft mulch To find cubic yards (there are 27 cu. ft in a cubic yd), you would divide 15.83/27 so it is about .6 cubic yards if you were to oreter OR To simplify things (for the next time since I gave you the answer) is to use this tool --- http://www.barnesnursery.com/calculator.htm You can calculate rectangular areas, circular areas, or triangular areas and you can adjust the depth.... it even breaks it down to bags of mulch needed or how many pickup truck loads you would need
