retty hard to determine how far mulch will go as it comes packed
:tight to loose there is no real standard, and bales can be larger or
:smaller again no standard.

:the way i mulch i try to keep it all around 8"s thick and that
:determines how far a bale goes. buiscuits can vary in thickness also
:curently bales of sugar cane mulch gibing 4" to 5" that can't be
:seperated thinner.

Thank for the advice Len.

As you say, too many variables involved to say with any degree of
certainty. I'll just get as big a load as I can.

One way or the other it'll be quickly used up, I planted somewhere
between 200-300 trees last year, and most of those will need some re-
mulching before too long. Then there's the impending (new) polytunnel,
which I hope will be ready to go by mid-autumn. Also the shade house
veggie garden and the 'open' veggie gardens. And the fruit trees... and
on it goes...
