One cubic yard of mulch covers 100 square feet at three inches deep. You can also use a standard equation where you find the total square footage of the beds you want to cover. Then divide the square footage by 100 to get the number of cubic yards required. Need help figuring it out? Try our mulch calculator or download our handy guide.

Our top soil blend is an excellent source of organic matter and with the blend of mushroom compost adds a natural fertilizer to feed your plants. Adding organic matter helps the soil hold moisture by acting as a sponge within the soil, and organic matter helps keep clay soil aerated—and also prevents the erosion of sandy soils. Another benefit of organic matter in soil is that the healthy microbe population it attracts constantly searches for something to eat, consuming bad bacteria and the tiny eggs of pests like nematodes and grasshoppers.
