How big was their bucket? Should we assume a 1 cubic yard bucket at the nursery? A 5 gallon bucket is .67 cubic feet.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.

this should help: (broken link removed)

That would be 40 buckets for a cubic yard.

And it goes back to how big of a bucket they are using at the nursery... How much were you charged for?

FORTY SIX DOLLARS and took 16 FIVE gallon dry wall buckets with me

 

[velvetfoot]

$115/yd. for compost. We pay about $30 without delivery.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

So you got just over 10 cubic feet. Only you could tell if you were overcharged, as compost quality is all over the board.

I should say that mine is composted cow manure.

i just paid $38 for a yard of biocompost. and they loaded me up with just over 2 by accident and didn't charge me!

Good deal. 2 cu yds is heavy. That takes a nice large truck. Our Ranger will only take about 2/3 cu. yd., level loaded.

I pay $15 for bucket load, of course my bucket is 3/4 of yard. I have to drive down the road 1/2 mile from my house, unhook the electric fence, drive in get load and then drive out and rehook the fence. The farmer keeps an aged pile set aside.
