Sorry in advance, because I guess this is an unanswerable question. I
need some topsoil, and have managed to get a good deal, but I have to
buy a minimum of 20 tons. Trouble is, I really can't visualise what 20
tons looks like!
Hm. 20 ton(ne)s? Say 1 1/2 tonnes per cubic metre, so you will
have about 13 cubic metres.
The space is pretty big - about 90 feet by 50 feet, though I want to
fill only half of that if possible - perhaps to a depth of up to about
3 or 4 inches.
Say 27m by 16m, or 432 sq. metres.
I know this is a vague question, but do people think this is way over
the top for my needs? I don't want to end up with a massive hill in my
garden!
which will cover the surface to 0.03m depth, so for half the area
0.06m, or 2 1/3".
