A Bulk Bag cannot be carried on a wheel barrel by yourself, as the weight is too heavy.

How to calculate the Amount/Volume of products needed?

Select the shape of the area you want to cover, your garden may be a combination of several shapes.

Rectangle
Measure the length by the width in metres = Square Metres (m2)
The volume you need is square metres (m2) x depth = Cubic Metres (m3)

Example
Your garden is 10 metres in length by a width of 2 metres. i.e. 10m x 2m = 20 m2.
20 m2 x a recommended depth of 60mm (0.06m) = 1.2 m3

Circle
Measure the Radius ( ½ of the distance of the diameter) in metres x Radius in metres x 3.14 = Square Metres
The volume you need is Square Metres x Depth = Cubic Metres

Example
Your garden is 2 metres in Radius, and times the Radius again, then times 3.14. i.e. 2m x 2m x 3.14= 12.56 m2.
12.56 m2 x a recommended depth of 60mm (0.06m) = 0.7536 m3

Triangle
Measure the Length by the Width in metres x 0.5 = Square Metres
The volume you need is Square Metres x Depth = Cubic Metres

Example
Your garden is 2 metres in lenth, 1.5 metres in width, then times 0.5. i.e. 2m x 1.5m x 0.5 = 1.5 m2.
1.5 m2 x a recommended depth of 60mm (0.06m) = 0.09 m3

Recommended Depth of Materials

Topsoil or Lawn Mix in lawns = up to 100mm
Compost/Mulches = 40-50mm
Bark = 80-100mm
Pebbles/Stones = 60mm (depending on pebble size)
White chip = 60mm

Description:

All natural ingredients, a composted special screened blend of shredded green waste, woodchip, chicken, stable and goat shed manures and a humate mixed together and aerobically composted by way of a windrow system.  Organic compost contain large amounts of carbon which is essential for the production of humus, humus is the life layer of the earth that plants animals and mankind are so dependent on.  Uncle Freds will help enhance the soil to create better soil structure, better water holding ability, and help keep nutrients within the topsoil rather than leaching through the sub soils.  Contains large amounts of organic matter and therefore will add carbon to the soil. Carbon makes up a significant proportion of humus.

100% all natural and suitable to use on all plants.  Uncle Freds organic compost delivers a wide diversity of biological organisms and natural nutrients to your garden soil, such diversity will never be found in chemical fertilisers.  Provides natural nutrient in plant available form and food and nourishment to the abundant biological organisms found in rich active soils.  Processed and monitored carefully to assure little likelihood of weed seed and undesirable pathogens surviving.  Does not contain any extra bulking agents such as sawdust or bark.

Tips:

Can be used as a seed raising mix. Sow seeds and place plants directly into it. Safe to use in pots, containers or raised beds. Can be diluted, mix with topsoil or other growing media. Use when planting trees or shrubs or as a pick me up after plant stress.
