After enough private mail I thought I should add this.
Off the top of my head I can remember an 80lb of cement makes 2/3 cu ft.
a 40 lb bag make 1/3 cu ft.
store bought compost is about the same volume as a 40lb bag of cement.
a cu yd is 3ft x 3ft x 3ft or 27 cu ft.
at 3 bags per cu ft, this is 54 bags per cu yard
+ or - a couple for equivilant assumption
20 cu yds is about 1080 bags
40lb bag here is 2.99 round up to $3 to figure in my head, comes to about
$3,240 by the bag.
My cost in bulk is about $300.
I did not nitpick to the nearest cc or to the nearest penny. Ballpark
numbers. But close enough for the picture.
