Ok barrbsie;
It's a cool damp day in the north and I am stuck indoors.

5 beds 4ft. x 4ft. x 6 inches.

I replied in the other post, but assuming the beds are really 6" tall (though as hellbender said, I guess they're actually 5.5" tall) and you're going to purchase enough to fill up the 6" beds to the very tippity top, and you're going with the 1/3 ration, you'll need approx. 1.89 cubic yards of each.

I would fill the beds now but not cover them. Let them get good and soaked this winter also the red worms and microbes will work on the mix when it is not frozen.
