How do you do that? Do you just drop it out of an airliner?

Even with a blower truck I don't think you could do 300 in one day.

you can easily do that with a truck in a full day, 2 guys can do over 30 yards in a day with wheelbarrows and a dump truck

The mulch blowers we work with have 25 yard trucks and put down two loads a day, maybe three. That includes making 2 hr round trips to fill the truck so if they had the mulch and a loader on site they could probably do 125 or 150 in a long day. They also have a driver/ operator and two laborers spreading it. I've watched them pretty closely and I don't see how they could go much faster short of having more trucks. So I stand by my question....
How do you do that?

The blower company we use has 55yd compacity. Maybe 3 loads a day if mulch source is close.

That is one big blower. I have to assume that is semi-trailer style blower. Seen pictures of them but never the real thing.
