RE: Western Canada Newbie Update


G,

 

It depends on how you purchase your topsoil.  When purchasing that large amount, it is usually measured by the dump-truck capacity.  In this case, the topsoil has been ‘fluffed’ and you are right, add about 10%.  For smaller amounts, purchased in pre-measured bags, this should not be necessary.  (Can you imagine 33 Cu. Yd. purchased by the 40 lb bag?  That’s a lot of bags.)
