So I ordered some bulk mulch over the weekend. I have never done this before. I usually always ordered bag mulch. I would make two trips in the van with the seats all folded down and fill the back up. Usually 30+ bags of mulch. And still, it was never enough to finish the job.
So this year, I thought I would order in bulk and get enough. BOY, did I get enough. I wasn't sure how much to order so I kind of went based on price. I ordered 10 cubic yards. Basic geometry tells me that this is 30 feet wide by 30 feet tall by 30 feet deep. Basic geometry doesn't do it justice.
First of all a dump truck dropped it off. A full-on, full-size, construction site dump truck. BOOM! Dumped right in my drive way. It's a mountain. I worked all day Sunday, and didn't put a dent in it. Now, I have a bit to do left and I have some extra mulch projects I can work on. But rest assured my neighbors are going to hate looking at that mountain of mulch before I get it all used up.
See the twitter feed for a pic, but it doesn't do it justice.
