How many 5 gallon buckets in a square yard of soil?

Answer 1

About 38.49 5 gallon buckets in a cubic yard.

a 5 gallon bucket is 10 inches at the bottom

11 inches at the top

and 14 inches tall

so it holds .02598 of a cubic yard

or .7 cubic foot

or 1212.262 cubic inches

and the about part depends on compaction.

Answer 2

It depends on how deep the soil is. If the soil is 1 foot deep, then there are approximately 252 gallons in a cubic yard, so roughly 50 five-gallon buckets in a square yard of soil at that depth.

Answer 3

You did not mention what size bucket, so I will convert gallons to cu. yards. 1 gal(US Liq) = 0.004951 yd³ So 202- 1 gallon buckets or about 50-5 gallon buckets= 1 cu yard.
