I have never actually weighed a bag of bark, but I would say roughly 20 pounds? It also makes a difference whether the bark inside the bag is wet or not.

Hope that helps.

My best estimate is roughly 20 lbs dry and closer to 30-35 lbs wet.

Yes, the weight will vary dramatically - easily by a factor of two - depending on whether the contents are wet or dry. If left out in the rain they *will* absorb water, "waterproof" plastic bag be verdammt.

Thanks for the estimates. It's along the line of what I figured it would be but that wet factor can be murder(early spring cow manure in the NE).

I'm just thinking now it would be too many trips in my bike cart. I've hauled 300 lbs in it but mulch takes up too much space, it would topple no doubt over a 7-8 mile trip.

By the time I would be done hauling say 3 or 4 at a time there would be no time to adjust the ph and get things rotting a bit.

I was hoping for a ride but I can't find anyone.

Back to the ground. Really wanted to try 5-1-1 but it's not going to happen this year unless I only have a couple containers.

I have not seen any bigger than 2 CF.
The weights depends on how wet or dry they pack them. Two cubic foot is roughly 14 gallons ( 56 quarts) . I would estimate it about 20 lbs.

Just picked up 3 bags, each 3 cu ft of hard wood mulch. Apparently, it was wet, couldn't tell because it's in opaque plastic but each bag weighed 85 lbs! That would be better than a factor of 4 between dry and wet if dry is 20 lbs. Be prepared!
