cubic foot bags Home Depot sells, 12 cubic yards would amount to about
165-170 bags. I buy the equivalent of 100 bags a year to recover our
planting beds. Unless you are covering your entire lot, leaving no room
for grass, you aren't spreading 12 cubic yards or anything close to it."




Is The John lying again?
Seems like he just can't help himself.


Big quantities, are bulk purchase, and a big dump truck delivers. If you
bought it in 2-3 cubic foot bags, you will be paying way too much.

That is true. I got that 18 wheeler for less than the best deal we
could find on 2 pallets of bagged mulch. We had access to a machine so
bags would just slow us down.
