In java

In java that can have input for acreage to be stabilized in acre increments, the coverage rates in lbs/acre, and an output of how much of each ingredient would be needed for the area.

input would be like: enter total size area in sqft:

output: You'll need 50 bags

A more in-depth objective would provide:

1. Focusing on Hydromulch

Total area to be stabilized ___________ (eg, 1.25 acres)

Material

Input Quantity

Output

Hydromulch (fiber & tackifier)

Measured in lbs per acre

How many 50 lb bags needed for area, and how many lbs total needed

1. The tank size is to be 1,500 gallons.

2. Hydroseed Calculator example

   1. https://www.epicmanufacturing.com/resources/coverage-calculator.html

   2. https://hydroseedsupply.com/mulch-coverage-calculator

3. Mulch mixing rates are 1:2, meaning one part mulch/materials to 2 parts water. So, if we put 2,000 lbs/acre of material down, we put 4,000 lbs of water down (4,000/8.34 lb/gal = 480 gallons of water).

3. Compost calculator example

   1. This estimates cubic yards of compost needed for a given area. The calculator takes sqft and depth of compost and converts it into cubic yards.

   2. For example: Compost Calculator: find cubic yards using sq. ft. or acres (mcgillcompost.com)

   3. When using the above Where it says enter the dimensions If the total SQFT is say 84,500 then just put that number x1. So 84,500 x 1

   4. This will give answer in Cubic Yards.

      1. The math behind this number is (sqft x (1/12))/27

      2. *note that the 1/12 is 1, if you want 2 of mulch it would be 2/12.
