Converting Weights and Measures 1 Tablespoon (TBSP) = 3 teaspoons (tsp) 1 Fluid oz. = 2 TBSP= 6 tsp. 1 CUP = 8 Fluid oz. = 16 TBSP 1 Pint = 2 Cups = 16 oz. 1 Quart = 2 Pints = 4 cups 1 Gallon = 4 Quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups 1 Cubic yard = 27 Cubic Feet = 202.5 gallons To calculate the cubic yardage of planting mix required for a specific area, multiply the length (in ft.) by width (in ft.) by depth (in ft.) and divide by 27. For example, a bed 10 ft x 5 ft x 1 ft. requires approx. 2 yds. of planting m ix. The amount of mulching material required for the same bed would be about _ yd for a 3 inch layer, or approximately 4 cubic feet per inch of mulch depth.. |
