ANSWERS TO GARDEN BAG QUESTIONS
You may have seen our garden bags around town in front of your neighbour’s homes; they’re legendary! Also known as a bulk bag, our bags are an easy and convenient way to have your landscaping products delivered. Whether you’re ordering soil, mulch, sand or stone, we’ll drop a bag off at your driveway, keeping everything tidy and mess-free. For even more convenience, our garden bags are available in three sizes, so go ahead, order a little of this and a little of that. As a bonus, these rugged polyethylene bags can be easily repurposed and are handy to have around the yard.
Whether your landscaping & gardening projects are big or small, we’ve got a bulk bag that works! Available in three convenient sizes, we offer ¼-yard, ½-yard and one cubic yard volume. Here’s a quick guide to help put these sizes into perspective:
| 1 Cubic Yard | = | 3’x3’x3’ | = | 364 Litres | 9 – 14 Wheelbarrow loads |
| ½ Cubic Yard | = | 29”x29”x28” | = | 382 Litres | 100 sqft at 3” depth |
| ¼ Cubic Yard | = | 24”x24”x20” | = | 191 Litres | Great for small areas |
These measurements can change slightly based on the moisture content of the soil inside the bag. When the soil is dry, it will be light and fluffy. If your bulk bag of soil gets caught in the rain, it will compress.
Depending on the moisture content, a cubic yard of Greely’s famous topdressing soil weighs a whopping 2,200-3000 pounds! A ½-yard bag tips the scales at 1,100-1,500 lbs, and a ¼-yard bag weighs 550-750 lbs. Don’t worry; we’ll deliver.
