Basis of quantities
- Mulched areas at 3 in deep.
- Paving over a 4 in compacted gravel base.
- Bed fill is the footprint × the bed’s height, with no allowance for settling; a herb spiral is taken as a cone and a hügelkultur mound as half its box, most of it wood.
- Areas and lengths are rounded to the nearest foot; volumes are rounded up to the next tenth of a cubic yard.
