A cubic foot is something that measures 1 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot - like a three dimensional cube (thus, cubic). If we assume this is for mulch or something similar, you will be laying it on a two-dimensional surface. First, you must decide the thickness you would like to apply. Let's say you would like your mulch 3 inches deep. Since there are twelve inches to the foot, your cube will give you four square feet of mulch. (Think of cutting your cube into 3 inch layers and then laying out each layer). A square yard will have 9 square feet (3 feet wide by 3 feet long). So... two cubic feet of mulch will fall short of your required depth by a little. Gardening is not so picky as math, so you decide, do you want more or less... Hope this helps!

There is 1 cubic yard in 1 yard. A cubic yard is a unit of volume, measuring 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet.
Yes. Say you have 1 cubic yard, 1 yard x 1 yard x 1 yard. To change it to feet, you have 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet.
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. This is because a cubic yard is equal to 3 feet wide, 3 feet long, and 3 feet high, so multiplying these dimensions gives 27 cubic feet in total.
THey are not the same - one is volume and the other is length.
There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.
