Can anyone work this out please?
Harry. Cubic capacity = volume not weight.
Think a cubic metre of feathers and a cubic metre of sand. Which do you get most of? Kind regards -- ....................................

I need to fill a raised bed area with compost or horse manure. I can get it in the builders bags, the big ones used for sand etc, for £45 delivered, however B&Q do a bag of compost which is 125 litres for £6.70. Now I dont know how much is in these big bags but wondered if I needed 2 big bags would it be cheaper buying it from B&Q rather than the builders bag full from the local garden shop. My only problem is the garden centre stuff is a little on the sandy side. Thanks folks One of those jumbo bags is about 850 kg (seehttp://www.wickes.co.uk/Sharp-Sand/invt/220081) which in the case of sand would equate to a bit over 1 cubic metre (1000 litres). At £45 per bag this works out at £5.62 per 125 litres compared to B&Q's £6.70. HTH R. Are you mad? Sand is much denser than compost, you can't equate the two. Why is he putting horse manure in his bed? |
