Approximately seven cubic feet worth of pine chips, which is the equivalent of a 55 gallon drum.

Wood chips are cost-effective: Wood chips can be used as mulch or soil amendment and don’t require any costly fertilizers. This makes them an economical choice.
Wood chips help retain moisture: By creating a barrier on top of the soil, wood chip mulch helps to keep moisture in the ground and encourage plants to grow more quickly.
Wood chips protect plants from extreme temperatures: A layer of wood chips helps protect plants from frost in winter and intense heat in summer by keeping the soil at a more consistent temperature.
