Why calculate compost volume in cubic yards?

Compost is often sold in cubic yards, making it the easiest unit to plan for bulk delivery and purchase.

How much compost should I use?

For new gardens, add 1–2 inches mixed into the topsoil. For lawns, ¼–½ inch spread on top is enough. Raised beds typically need 1–3 inches.
