Dyno Dirt
Dyno Dirt compost, soil blend, and mulches are excellent for landscapes and gardens. Dyno Dirt products are produced using yard trimmings and recycled biosolids, which prolongs the life of our landfill.
Dyno Dirt products have excellent soil-conditioning and moisture-retention properties and provide natural, slow-release fertilization. Denton-area residents and professionals have been using Dyno Dirt products since 1997 for landscape planting and mulching, lawn establishment and maintenance, flower gardens, nursery crop and green house production, and turf and sod production.
This nutrient-rich compost is ideal for lawns, flower and vegetable gardens, and trees and shrubs. Dyno Dirt meets all Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements for uncontrolled use as a soil conditioner resulting in the production of superior-quality compost, which is carefully processed to maintain excellent soil building attributes and a remarkable abundance of beneficial microorganisms. For best results, mix one to two inches of Dyno Dirt with the top six to eight inches of existing soil. For potting, this product should be blended with soil or other materials to achieve a 50/50 mix.

How to Calculate a Cubic Yard
Bulk material is sold by the “cubic yard.” A cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet. Picture a box made with the dimensions of a yardstick, and that would be a cubic yard.
To calculate how much compost/mulch is needed, use the following formula: Multiply length x width x depth; divide by 12, then divide by 27. This will equal the cubic yards needed.
