I don't think you should expand the peat by two. It settles back down when watered. Maybe not as tight as the 3.8, but it settles. Not sure exactly how to account for that though.
When I calculate, I go right off the 3.8 bale to be conservative.
I fill my 5-gals almost to the top because I don't hand water so I don't need to leave more than 1/2 to 1" (each Bag is watered with a spray stake). The 5 gal takes about 2/3 of a cubic foot or .66
Also, what if u added all your labor for mixing time?
I would have to add that in b/c I'm running an enetrprise budget to nail down the costs as a business. Not trying to be correcty correctorson, just curious how long it takes you as I would consider doing what you are doing one day.
I assign 12.55 per hour of labor.
