Frequently asked questions
How deep should mulch be?
Two to three inches for beds. Deeper mulch can smother roots; thinner mulch won’t stop weeds.
How many bags are in a yard?
A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet — about 13 to 14 bags of 2 cubic feet.
Should I order extra?
Round up. Beds are rarely perfect rectangles, and soil settles.
