How do I measure my mulch beds?

You can measure your mulch beds manually with a tape measure or use Google Earth to estimate the dimensions from above.

For rectangular beds, measure the length and width. For circular beds, measure the diameter across the center.

If a bed has an irregular shape, break it into a few smaller rectangles or circles and enter each area separately.
