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.

Very true. I thought buying the bags might save some work. I've always bought the bulk, usually 8
yards. This year we've got a bigger 'bed'.
