Yard of mulch equals how many bags

This particular fellow is paying $120 to lay 30 bags of mulch himself. That's 60 cubic feet of mulch total (30 times 2 cubic feet each). To convert that into cubic yards, divide 60 (cubic feet needed) by 27 (number of cubic feet in a cubic yard). That works out to 2.2.

5 cubic yards then 5 cubic yards would be 10 bags.

To calculate mulch in yards, it is essential to note that one cubic yard of material will cover an area of 324 square feet at a depth of an inch. To determine the total amount of mulch needed, the formula is: Square footage x desired depth (in inches)/ 324.
