Has anyone ordered the 20LB dry sub from them? How big is this thing. I'm worried that ordering that much might raise some red flags if you know what i mean.

I don't actually know, but if Roadkill says it's "bigger than a breadbox" I would venture to say it's about as big of a box as you would get a box of oranges or a case of mcdonald's fries in.

A 5lb bag is about 2-3 squared feet. So I would a say 1 20lb bag is about 10 squared feet.

A 20 lb box of my bone dry shredded h/poo is about the size; Of a case of 12 quart jars. About 12X18X9 inch's. I would wager, his is about the same.

I have a little different opinion on this one. I have shipped 10 LB. packages of manure in the past and I can tell you that it filled a 30 gallon black trash bag halfway. Based on this experience I would have to say a 20 LB. bag of dried manure is going to fill a 30 gallon bag pretty full.

I would think the difference is texture & COMPACTION. How fine it is shredded & how compacted in a box, it is.
USPS FLAT RATE BOX MEASURES 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8"
Full of fine shredded compacted MycoNitro compost weighs 5.2 lbs Times 4 = 20 lbs.
MycoNitro is a h/poo-wheat straw based specialized compost. (supplemented with fruit/produce culls, spent brewers grains, etc) I assumed it weighs about the same, as dry shredded h/poo alone.
H/poo
FINISHED & MOIST (note firefang flecking)
Drying
DRY
I have never mailed shredded h/poo. But, have mailed MycoNitro. I guess, optimal compost might be more dense.
