Filling the Boxes with Wood Chips as Ground Cover
|
Time to fill the
boxes with wood chips for ground cover How to estimate how much I need? Length X Width X Depth for each box I calculated the total to be about 8 cubic yards I shopped around and found wood chips to be $70-80 per yard Plus delivery fee of $125 Hmm, bright idea! Home Depot has 2 Cu FT bags for under 3 bucks per I just need 105 bags So, I went shopping Ordered 110 Bags and $50 delivery fee. It took 2 deliveries which worked out well for me |

The delivery driver from Home Depot was so terrific! On
each of the two deliveries, he helped me unload the chip bags. These are not light, I'm guessing about 30-35 lbs. each, but seem to get heavier with each bag. I struggled to pull them off the pallet and lug them across the yard. The driver pulled them off the pallet, carried them, and tossed them the last 15-20 feet. He unloaded more than half for me. He did not have to do that, it's not part of the delivery, he's a great guy! |
