Work out mulch bags and depth for garden beds.
Bed area times the chosen depth gives the required volume, which converts into both bulk yards and store bags. Too thin a layer lets weeds through while a deep one smothers roots, so matching depth to the bed area gets the spend right.
Mulch Depth
Volume = bed area x depth; bags = volume / 2 cu ft
