Average pallet weights can vary by supplier or quarry, but average from 1.5-2.5 tons.
Do I need mulch or compost?
Mulch is decayed yard debris which prevents weeds. It is also a decorate or protective covering. Mulch prevents loss of water, soil erosion, crusting of soil surface, soil compaction, and growth of weeds. It aids in cooler soil in summer, warmer soil in winter, more plant roots, and improves soil nutrients.
Compost is manure-based. It is a fertilizer when mixed in soil.
