How to use it
- Pick the material
Gravel, sand, topsoil or mulch, in feet or metres.
- Type the area
Its length and width, and how deep you want to spread it.
- Set the bag
Type how much one bag holds, from its label, or order the bulk amount.
Tips
- Mulch depth
Mulch is usually spread 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) deep.
- It settles
Loose material settles once it is walked or rained on. Add some extra to end at the depth you want.
- Bulk or bags
For a large area, a bulk delivery is often easier than carrying many bags.
