----------------------------------

"Depth" suggests volume but the usage for the can of wildflower mix is for AREA, so the dimensions should be called LENGTH and WIDTH.

WIDTH%2ALENTH%3C=102
12%2AL%3C=102
L%3C=102%2F12

highlight%288.5%29feet
No more.


(Might want to say, length is 12 feet and width is no more than 8.5 feet.)
