Might want to go read this thread on how to figure mulch.

Estimate, three, three, look up mulch in the yellow pages.

[befnme]

here we go if the widest point is 8feet and the narrowist point is 6 feet then average at 7 feet wide then x by the strait length then x by the thickness desired .

average the square foot for estimating the mulch.

27 cubic feet in a cubic yard

9- 3 cubic foot bags to equal a cubic yard


to figure your mulch needed
you can rough it like this
figure your square footage. example (300' x 10' = 3000 square feet)
if you want 1" use .08
2"-.16
3"-.24
4"-.33
5"-.41
6"=.50

so lets say you want it 3" deep
you would take 3000 x .24 = 720
divide 720 by 27 = 26.6 yards of mulch

so you need approx. 27 yards of mulch

I just noticed that you also wanted to know where to get the mulch.
I hope your joking!

Good luck!
