Lawn Care

The total cost of 1.2 cubic yards of soil is $28.80 ($24 x 1.2 = $28.80).

1 (cubic yard) = 46 656 cubic inches

There are 35 cubic yards in a trench that is 210 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 9 feet deep. This can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and depth in feet (210 x 6 x 9) and then dividing by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards.

A cubic yard is a unit of volume that measures 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet. Imagine a cube where each side is 3 feet long. It is commonly used for measuring bulk materials like gravel, soil, or concrete.

Yes, play sand can be used to help level a lawn by spreading it evenly over the uneven areas. However, it’s important to mix the sand with topsoil to ensure better drainage and root growth for the grass. Additionally, consider aerating the lawn before adding the sand to improve the overall health of the grass.

The central plains of Africa are called the Central African Plateau.

To fill half of a cylinder, you would need to calculate the volume of the cylinder and then divide it by 2. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Once you have the volume, you can convert it to cubic yards by using the appropriate conversion factor.

Calculate the volume of mix needed by multiplying 20x20x9. This gives cubic inches. Then divide that answer by 144 cubic inches per cubic foot, and you have the volume in cubic feet.

A cubic foot of asphalt is a different weight depending on the weight of the rock in contains, but let's 158 pound of asphalt hotmix per cubic foot. Multiply the volume in cubic feet, above, by 158lbs, and you have the weight of mix per 20x20x9.

Divide the answer by 2000 to convert to tons. Divide the tonnage by the weight per cubic feet calculated above in the second paragraph.

Trying to convert dollars per square foot into dollars per cubic yard is like trying to convert apples into oranges.

A square foot is a measurement of area, whereas a cubic yard is a measurement of volume.

I know you're looking for the simple answer, and there's the rub, because the amount you spread is based on several factors, especially if it's a hand spreader. That's the kind of spreader I have and about the only guarantee is that it spreads.

The only real way to use this, and it's no guarantee, it to place the amount called for in the spreader, for the area you are spreading. EX: I am using Treflan.

The manufacturer calls for Type 1: 1 lb. per 1280 sqft [1/1280]=(0.00078125lb/sqft) if light sandy & light loamy , Type 2: 1 lb/960sqft [1/960] (0.001041667lb/sqft) if medium loamy, or Type 3: 1 lb/640sqft [1/640] (0.0015625lb/sqft) if clay and silt.

My garden is 630sqft so I need either 1/2 lb, (2/3lb) or 1 lb (approximately) depending on my soil. or 0.75lb +/- 0.25lb (0.5/lb-1.0lb) depending on soil.

My thinking goes like this: If I think my soil is Type 1 (needs less), and it's Type 3 (needs more), I would risk maybe applying too little and get weeds. So applying 0.5 lb, when I need 1.0lb is too little, that means. -100% is too little.

If I think my soil is Type 3 (needs more), and it's Type 1 (needs less), I could risk maybe applying too much and damage the plants. So applying 1.0lb when I need 0.5lb is too much, that means. +50% is too much. So, the amount, depending upon soil should be X +25%/-50% which allows us to fall within acceptable limits based on soil and guessing.

So one can think either, "Wow, I'll never figure it out; I have a mixture and don't have a clue, where's my scientist." or "These numbers are fairly rough, so, it doesn't appear to be that critical.

The bag says it's important to not use too little, or too much. Too little, you get weeds, too much it can harm the plant.

Well we do know that clay and silt are hard when dry and drain slow, and the opposite light sand and light loam drain easy. So, the easier it drains, the less you need, and the harder to drain, the more you need.

So, making sure that there is some spreading seems to be important. And, since one should cultivate it in 2-3 inches, making sure it gets everywhere depends on how much it dissolves in the dirt, with water.

I'm going to be adding some organic material (loam) to my garden to make it more loamy, because I think I'm closer to some clay, and mostly sand and silt, with very little loam. So, I'm going to use about 2/3 lb. for my garden. The middle road. So, this year, I may have used either the right amount, or a little too much, or little depending on how much loam I add. Loam helps the soil retain moisture, and the soil where I live is mostly clay and sand and silt, which isn't mentioned.

Wow! Not much science in that. But, all things considered, the soil works pretty good and holds enough water.

So, I'll put 2/3 lb +1/6lb or - 1/3lb in my EZ Hand spreader.

Keeping in mind that 2/3-1/3 = 1/3 which is lower than the lowest suggested amount, so we set that at 0.5lb, and 2/3lb + 1/6lb giving us 0.66lbs +0.17lbs/-0.17lbs, or between 0.5lbs-0.83lbs, if it's medium loamy for my garden.

Wheel spreaders are a little easier to figure as they dispense more evenly as the amount is determined by how the wheel travels the ground, and not my feet. So, since my feet are the determining factor in a hand spreader, the only other thing I can go by is my eyes. Here's what I do next.

I weigh the Treflan and put it into the spreader, step into the middle of the garden, on the lowest setting, and I whirl it at a modest pace while I walk at an even pace across my garden.

While doing this, I observe how much lands on the ground, like I'm seasoning a pot of stew and gauging how much by how much I sprinkle on the top, knowing it will go through and get spread better when I stir the soup, or in this case cultivate the ground and if it looks pretty even.

After walking one length, I gauge how wide it's spreading, and see if it gets thinner the further away, usually the case. Then I move to one side halfway between where I did it the first time (more), and the farthest spread (little or none), Say three or more feet, whatever it is. I note how much I used of what's in the spreader and make a quick gauge if that will work.

Since it's at the lowest setting, I'll probably have plenty to do this over the whole garden. If very little got spread and I still have most of it, after covering the garden once. I will either, open it a notch or two and do the same again. Or, if it looks like more than half was used. I'll pick up my pace, walking faster, and do it again.

Not Rocket science, and not for the professional gardener or farmer who will probably use a liquid and spray and already knows how wide a spray he makes, and at what rate and so can calculate the amounts to use precisely and makes a mix that gives him what he wants.

But, in my experiences, and by examining and roughly guessing what one needs in the garden, this method will work fairly well, and I don't have problems.

So the question is Apples and Oranges and not able to be done. Which is probably why no one has yet to answer your question, except me. I welcome a better answer, as I would love to improve my chances of getting it right myself.

So, one can see there is a lot of latitude between too little and too much. My guess is that if you make a rough guess on what kind of soil you have, and pick that number, the amount used can probably vary by as much as 15% of what you can apply before it's either too much or too little, in this case. Weigh it based on your guessed soil type, and you'll be fairly close; and there's probably more latitude than what I say, so you're still good. Just make your guess about how much, as good as you can. And, of course, it depends on what you're spreading. Sometimes a little too much fertilizer won't hurt, sometimes, a little too much pesticide just increases the length of time before you can eat your vegetables or if you're worried about risking the environment, don't use any. Same thing with fungicide.

Good luck.

For my garden: 0.5lbs-0.83lbs, or 0.66 or 2/3lb if it's anywhere between (clay and silt), or light sand and light loam). Yeah, I'm somewhere in there.

If you reply, I'll write back at the end of the season and let you know how well it worked for me. ;-)

(0.77 cubic yard) x (27 cubic feet per cubic yard) = 20.79 cubic feet

A popular grass choice for upper East Tennessee is Kentucky bluegrass because of its ability to thrive in cool climates and tolerate shade. Another good option is tall fescue, known for its durability and drought resistance. It is advisable to consult with local nurseries or landscaping professionals for specific recommendations tailored to your area's conditions.

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cubic foot is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A dollar is a measure of commercial value. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

2.5 million dollars, made up of pennies will take up a huge amount of space whereas a cheque for that amount will take up less than a thousandth of a cubic foot.

The grass underneath the board could turn yellow or die due to lack of sunlight and air circulation. This is because the board blocks the sun and traps moisture, creating a damp environment that can harm the grass.

A cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet.

The area you are dealing with is 30 x 1 x 1 = 30 cubic feet

So you will need 30/27 cubic yards, which equals 11/9 cubic yards or 1.11 cubic yards.

To find the volume of the flower bed in cubic feet, first convert all measurements to the same unit. Since 1 yard = 3 feet, the flower bed is 6 feet long (2 yards x 3 feet), 16 feet wide (already in feet), and 0.25 feet deep (3 inches converted to feet). The volume of the flower bed is then calculated by multiplying the length, width, and depth together: 6 feet x 16 feet x 0.25 feet = 24 cubic feet.

The volume of a box with dimensions 8x10x11 is 880 cubic feet.

Sharp sand feels sharp to the touch and is a much coarser material than lawn sand which is often called soft sand or builder's sand. If you want to lay bricks, soft sand is much easier to work with and to smooth down.

To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, you can divide the number of cubic feet by 27, as there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So, if you have 81 cubic feet, it would be equal to 3 cubic yards (81 / 27 = 3).

Yes. The phylum magnoliophyta contains the flowering plants, or angiosperms. These plants are vascular with phloem and xylem tissues and includes all agricultural crops such as cereal grains and grasses.

There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so 33 = 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Therefore divide cft by 27.

A common homemade weed killer recipe is a mixture of white vinegar, salt, and dish soap. Combine 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap in a spray bottle. Spray this solution directly onto the weeds, making sure to avoid spraying any surrounding plants.

To determine the dimensions of a cube that can hold 512 cubic yards of sand, you would need to calculate the side length of the cube. Since the volume of a cube is side length cubed, you would take the cube root of 512 to find the side length. The cube would have dimensions of approximately 8.0 yards on each side.

216 cubic feet = 8 cubic yards.
