Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Pix.

Sorry, -t. I just asked my landlord when I wanted to mulch and he said, "'Bout 2-3 of the bags at Southern States Nursery should get it done." Your math looks reasonable to me, though.

OK, someone confirm this makes sense. I have an irregular sort of rectangular spiral to cover with mulch 3" deep. I measured the lengths of each side and it totals 93 feet if I add them all together. I cut the cardboard to be 4 feet deep. So I need 93 cubic feet of mulch. 93x4x1/4 Right?
What do you mean by "rectangular spiral"? I'm having trouble picturing this. Which direction is the cardboard -- horizontal or vertical?

Unfinished rectangle is actually a better description. It would be 35 ft wide x 20 ft tall if it were complete but the right edge is only 18 feet and the bottom is only 20 ft (but the angles are all right angles). Looking down on it as if my lawn were a plane. The cardboard covers a 4 ft strip along those edges, in the same plane.

OK, I think I see. Then, yeah, you'll end up with a little extra because you're counting the corners twice, but 93x4x1/3 should give you roughly the number of cubic feet you need.

Yeah, I figure a little extra is probably good. Why 1/3?

Wait, no. 4 inches is 1/3 of a foot. So it should be 1/3.

3" deep.
Dang, one inch makes a significant difference to the number of bags I'd have to buy.
