ALL ABOUT MULCH
WE CARRY VERMONT MULCH COMPANY MULCH. BY THE BAG OR BY THE YARD WE HAVE YOU COVERED!
The quality of Vermont Mulch products is second to none as the Bark Mulch comes directly from saw mills, the vast majority coming from their own mills.
Vermont Mulch adds no “fillers” such as brush, recycled material or wood chips.
Why Mulch?
Mulching is one of the most important ways to maintain healthy landscape plants. A mulch is any material applied to the soil surface for protection or improvement of the area covered. Mulching is really nature’s idea. Nature produces large quantities of mulch all the time with fallen leaves, needles, twigs, pieces of bark, spent flower blossoms, fallen fruit and other organic material.
How to Calculate the Amount of Mulch Needed
To determine how many cubic feet of mulch is needed, you need to calculate the surface area and the desired depth of coverage. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. One cubic yard will cover a 324-square-foot area with an inch of mulch. Figure out the square footage of your bed, that is the width times the length for square or rectangular shaped beds. The square footage of a circular bed is the distance from the middle of the circle to the outside, multiplied by itself and then multiplied by 3.14 (which is pi).
Multiply your square footage by the depth desired (in inches) and divide by 324 square feet. This will tell you how many cubic yards you will need.
