When I visited Iceland, I didn't meet a single non-English-speaker. In fact, all of the natives with whom I spoke had excellent English. This is partly due to the fact that hardly anyone outside of Iceland speaks their language (well, maybe some Norwegians could get by), so they use English as a bridge language. Also, English is probably easy to learn compared to Icelandic's complex inflection and declension rules. â ESultanik Jun 24 '11 at 11:31.
Hi John, Since you want the volume in cubic yards I would first convert all the measurements to yards. There are 3 feet in a yard and hence 3 2 = 9 square feet in a square yard.Thus. 750 square feet is 750 / 9 = 83.33 square yards. There are 36 inches in a yard so. 3 inches is 3 / 36 = 0.0833 yards.i John, Since you want the volume in cubic yards I would first convert all the measurements to yards.

Large quantities of soil are usually sold by the cubic yard. One cubic yard spread out 1 inch thick covers about 324 square feet. To cover 500 square feet with three inches of soil, you'll need 4.52 cubic yards. It takes roughly 18-20 bags to make a cubic yard, or $36-$100. 2  That works out to about $180-$500 for five yards; typically, bags of topsoil are only used for extremely small areas.
