That would be BD by the book with 1/3 soil, eh, Steve? Compost made from organic matter without the big soil addition would fall more into the 800-1200 pound range per cubic yard, I think. People in the 1200-1400 pound per cubic yard have been heard to complain, and look for ways to bring down the density. See:
http://mailman.cloudnet.com/pipermail/compost/2001-January/002407.html 3/4 of a ton is 1500 pounds, but 3/4 of a tonne (metric tonne, 2200 pounds) is a hefty 1650 pounds. Anyway, Allan, weigh a bucket of it and multiply by 40.....;-) Frank Teuton ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 9:47 PM Subject: Re: Farm Vol Conversions > > In a message dated 7/26/02 7:55:07 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > << Frank - Remind me: what does a cubic yard of compost usually weigh? -Allan > > > >> > > depending on inputs about 2/3-3/4-1 tonne...sstorch > >
