I know that wheelbarrows come in all sorts of sizes...but I was wondering,
for the standard size wheelbarrow one might get at Ace Hardware or Home
Depot, how much dirt one can carry...not so much that it spills as its
carried. I'm basically looking at a ball part figure.

I need to get 8-10 cubic yards of soil and was wondering how many trips
(approximate) I'll need to make to get it from the front yard to the back
yard.

6 cubic feet is typical. Over 20 trips.
