How to calculate
Estimate mulch volume from area and depth.
Mulch volume = area*depth/100; Litres = area*depth/100*1000
Worked example
Area (m²): 50; Depth (cm): 8.
Mulch volume: 4 m³; Litres: 4,000 L.
Assumptions and limits
Allow for settlement and irregular ground. Product bags may use nominal rather than compacted volume.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
