How to Know How Much Mulch You Need: A Simple Formula to Avoid Spending Too Much
You can mulch your garden, vegetable garden and flower bed both in autumn and spring.
The main problem faced by summer residents who decide to mulch their plots themselves is that it is difficult for them to calculate the required amount of mulching material.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared several details that will help you decide on this issue.
First, you need to know the area of the surface you plan to cover with mulch. To do this, measure the width and length of the area in meters and multiply these figures.
In addition, it is worth deciding how deep the mulch layer should be.
For example, if the length of the flower bed is 2 m and the width is 5 m, its area will be 10 sq. m.
With a mulch layer thickness of 4 cm, the mulch volume will be 0.4 cubic meters.
So, if the mulch material is sold in 50L bags, you will need 8 bags for this flower bed.
