Hybrid Car - More Fun with Less Gas

This post is here just for fun. There is no high-tech stuff below. Not a single chunk!

In case you were not sure how spacious the trunk of a Toyota Prius is or how useful a Prius can be in gardening, here is the proof

12 cubic feet of red cedar mulch neatly stacked inside the trunk. We did not want to get the insides dirty and so the back seats are not folded, so it shows the actual trunk capacity. In fact, another 3 cu. ft bag would fit behind the stack but we had some other gardening stuff taking that place already. In addition, yet another one would fit on top of the stack but I was afraid it would slide forward onto the back seats should I stop too hard. So, figure you have about 18 cubic ft. of useable space in your trunk. Toyota advertises 14.4 cubic ft of trunk capacity.

Of course we would always recommend to put some sort of a tarp or a rug so the trunk itself is kept clean. By the way, the aluminum bar that goes across the back of the trunk and houses the rolled up trunk curtain is very useful in tucking the tarp and holding it firmly in place.

Or, and that stuff that my wife Tanya helps me unroll is lawn edger made of shredded recycled tires. Neat stuff, very pliable and environment - friendly of course.
