Choose any four items and play with the numbers (in cubic feet) to get an idea of where you will find a good ratio.

Of course they are showing a cubic foot of wet food waste weighs 55 pounds. Our five-gallon buckets of materials from ThunderCloud, Monkey Nest and other don’t weigh half of that. Same for the coffee grounds.

Compost Coalition is working with Central Texas Tree Care to reduce their travel costs and improve your soils. They have work all over Austin and can give you a ton of mulch – literally (may be as much as 9-10 cubic yards). Be advised: They cannot dump partial loads, and they have to be dumped either in the front yard or where a large tree truck can drive to and the dump can extend, ie. thru double gates into unobstructed back yard areas or accessible fields, etc.. If interested, email info@compostcoalition.com.
