One more bag should do it. I think the closest rice mill is still a few hours away. If I would need an abundance I could schedule a pickup and make a trip. Easier just to buy the bags for now. They are 50lb btw not 40.

Filled it up with another 50lb bag. About 3/4 of the cover was thick and tight, at least 12 inches high. Shifting the hulls around to spread them out was challenging. With this amount of hulls the sides and ends sag because the cover is too big. So, I think with a smaller cover 2 bags would suffice, but with this cover I think 3 bags will pack it all up better. Currently in use and will probably grab another bag next week or so. Want to do a pillow as well.
