How Much Mulch Do I Need?
To figure how much mulch you need, multiply the length and width of your beds in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 324. The answer is cubic yards. The table below works as a quick mulch calculator.
| Depth | One cubic yard covers |
|---|---|
| 2" | About 162 sq. ft. |
| 3" | About 108 sq. ft. |
| 4" | About 81 sq. ft. |
A 20 ft. by 10 ft. bed is 200 sq. ft. At 3" deep, that's about 1.9 cubic yards, so order 2.
How Many Bags of Mulch Are in a Yard?
One cubic yard of mulch equals about 13.5 bags of 2 cubic feet, or 9 bags of 3 cubic feet. Buying by the yard skips the bags and the trips. We sell mulch by the cubic yard because that's how coverage is measured. Mulch weighs more when it's wet, so a ton of mulch changes size with the weather, and a cubic yard doesn't.
