Question by leeflea: How do you calculate the square feet of a 10 foot garden circle that needs 2 inches mulch in it?
I’m starting to make beds for spring planting and cannot remember how to calculate the square foot of a circle esp. when I have to take into consideration the two inches of mulch needed.
thank you,
Feel free to answer in the comment section below
area of circle pi x radius^2
3.14 x 5^2
3.14 x 25
78.5 sqft
Volume of mulch
area x height
78.5 sqft x .16667ft
13.08 cuft
