🌿 Mulch Calculator

Bags are better when: Volume under 1–2 m³ No vehicle/trailer for bulk delivery Precise quantities needed Easy access — no bulk truck access Bulk (tonne bag / loose delivery) when: Volume over 2 m³ Cost savings: bulk is 30–50% cheaper per m³ Large garden or multiple areas Example: 3 m³ of mulch Bags (70L at ₹350 each): 43 bags × ₹350 = ₹15,050 Cost per m³: ₹5,017 Bulk (₹3,500/m³ + ₹800 delivery): 3 m³ × 3,500 + 800 = ₹11,300 Cost per m³: ₹3,767 Saving with bulk: ₹3,750 (25%)

Volume (m³) = Area (m²) × Depth (m) Depth in mm → divide by 1000 to get metres 50mm = 0.05m Example: 6m × 2.5m bed, 50mm depth Area = 6 × 2.5 = 15 m² Volume = 15 × 0.05 = 0.75 m³ Bags needed = Ceil(Volume / Bag volume) 70L bags = 0.07 m³ each Bags = Ceil(0.75 / 0.07) = 11 bags 1 m³ = 1000 litres = ~14 bags of 70L 1 tonne bag (bulk) ≈ 0.6–0.8 m³ (depending on material)
