Why does it seem like a yard is so much bigger than 3 bags of soil. What’s the deal

    No - it’s 27 times bigger.

    A yard is 3 times bigger than a foot so a cubic yard is 33 (3 cubed) times bigger.

      Edit: Brain fart. retracting.

      Only 26 times bigger, yes? While their are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. The original cubic foot needs to be subtracted from the cubic yard if you’re saying its “bigger”, right?
