Is 20 kg compost to 10 pounds a typo? I can imagine 20 liters of compost
being 10 pounds, but 20 kg is 44 pounds last I checked... I dislike chasing
numbers but this confuses me.
One kg is less than a pound. 1 pound is the same as 2.21 kg.
Or you can multiply the number of kg you have by 0.45 to get pounds.
Aren't conversions fun? Drives me crazy. I always have to have someone
double check my math, and even then, I'm not always really positive I got i=
t
right. But, I can check myself by thinking about hte fact that a pound is
much more than a kg, as long as you aren't changing materials.
