Calculate mulch quantity needed for your garden beds.
Mulch conserves moisture, suppresses weeds, and improves soil. UF/IFAS Extension advises about 2-3 inches (roughly 5-8 cm) of mulch in established landscapes and 2-3 inches of straw in vegetable gardens (
UF/IFAS EP625); that guidance is for Florida conditions, and depth varies by material and climate. The brick count is a rough estimate that assumes 70 L per 5 kg brick; vendors state different expanded volumes (about 60-75 L at
Fibre Family, 75-80 L at
GI Coir), so check the pack. The volume includes 5% extra.
