You need 7 metre x 7 metres x thickness, then you need a 1/4 of that

 

[TicklyT]

7M X 7M = 49 square Metres.

at, say, 40mm deep = 2 cubic Metres as the crow flies.

A quarter of that is half a cubic metre.

 

[breezer]

so buy a whole cubic metre and keep some for "spare"

I have 6 tonnes of it in my garden, still could do with more

 

[Thermo]

yes but you are building a mountain of it!

 

[breezer]

no, its been there for must be 4 + years, coverered the garden in it, only about 1 inch deep at most

 

[Thermo]

sounds a lot but we shift amounts like that by hand on a daily basis (well the boys do i just supervise them now!)

 

[breezer]

you have boys to do it? pah, i had me, my self and i , oh and a mate for a day

oh and i did it all with a pair of tweezers

 

[Thermo]

well your stupid then!
