The formula to calculate the total cubic yards of loam is:
\[ \text{CYL} = \frac{\text{SF} \times \frac{D}{12}}{27} \]
Where:
Loam is a type of fertile soil that is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, and it contains humus. Loam soil holds nutrients and has a texture that retains water long enough for plant roots to access it, yet it drains well, preventing water from sitting and causing root rot.
Example:
Step 1: Calculate the cubic yards of loam:
\[ \text{CYL} = \frac{1000 \times \frac{6}{12}}{27} = \frac{1000 \times 0.5}{27} = \frac{500}{27} \approx 18.52 \text{ yd³} \]
