how many cubic feet are in five cubic yards?
Answers:
Short answer: buy a hundred bags.
Long answer:
A cubic foot is 1x1x1 foot. A cubic yard is 3x3x3 feet, or 27 cubic feet.
For 200 cubic feet of bagged mulch, that's 100 bags, or $169. (Your bagged mulch costs $0.845 cents a cubic foot.)
For the bulk mulch, to get 200 cubic feet would be approximately 8 cubic yards (8x27 is 216 cubic feet). So that would cost $26x8 or $208. (Suprising to me, but the bulk mulch costs more per cubic feet than the bagged-- cost is $26/27 or over $0.96 cents a cubic foot.).

135 cu. ft. total. But, how are you going to get it to where you need it? You will need a dump truck to haul it. Call a construction company or an independant backhoe/dumptruck operator in the yellowpages. The will give you a quote. The average cost for a bobtail dump truck is $65.00/ hr. Usually with a 3 hour minimum.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.
So, 1 cubic yard = $26 = 27 cubic feet. If I have done my math correct this works out to $.96 per cubic foot.
By the bag; $1.69/2 cubic feet = .85 per cubic foot.
Yikes...seems crazy that it is cheaper to buy it by the bag.
Go with the bags.
