To determine the amount of soil, compost, mulch or plants needed for your garden, first calculate the square feet of the bed you are working with. Use the following calculation to determine the square feet of a bed that is 10 feet, 6 inches long and 4 feet wide.

Heyward’s headfirst slide barely beat the throw home, and replay confirmed the call on the go-ahead run.
“You have to understand what a pitcher’s strengths are, what he’s able to land,” he said. “It’s like a chess game. You have to play along, have an idea what he’s going to do. And that’s one thing that helps me a lot, I’m always thinking about what the catcher’s going to call, what the pitcher’s feeling, and then throughout the game it could change.
