    3.7 yards of loam

    Its like this for a break down. 20' x 20' = 400sq ft. Now to inches 20'x 12" is 240 "

    240"x240" =57,600 sq inch x 3" =172,800 cubic inches divided by 46,656 cubic inches in a yard

    172,800 divided by 46,656 = 3.7 yards

    Weight of Dry Loam is 78 lbs to a Cubic ft
