Frequently Asked Questions

How much area does a 2.2 cubic foot bag cover? When tilled into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil at a standard 20% to 30% amendment rate, a single 2.2 cubic foot bag typically covers approximately 45 to 60 square feet.

What is the weight of each bag? Dry weight varies based on ambient moisture levels, but a standard 2.2 cubic foot bag generally weighs between 25 and 35 pounds, making it manageable for single-person handling and loading.
