How many yards are our beds?
I'm looking into getting some compost and the price goes down with the more yards you get at one time, Just seeing how many cubic yards our beds are.


Thanks in advance,
Michael

Multiply length x width x height (all in feet) and divide by 27 (or by 46,656 is you take your measurements in inches) and you get cubic yards.

A few boards and some nails will raise the height. I don't know how heavy compost is but a load of mulch in the bed isn't even enough weight to smooth out the bumps in the road.

If that road is the one to your field, I don't think anything could take all tha bumps out, BUT I would gladly drive on it again to see ya, let alone blow things up
