How do I work out how much I need to say, cover 10sq m?

How deep do you want them?
if its say 5cm - 2 1/2". thats 1/2 cu m or about a tonne.
My local builders merchant will deliver a ton bag of Cotswold chippings for about £50. that will do a layer about 50 mm deep. Other gravels cost different amounts, some are four times that price. Avoid lime stone as it turns to mud if you move it about frequently.

'Coverage rates for gravels are typically 15-20 m² per tonne at 35mm thick'.
IME the biggest mistake you can make is to have too thin a layer.
Others have answered that point, but make sure you add a landscaping type membrane down or you will get grass and weeds. It will look a mess!
Yep. Stuck the membrane down as well. Its surprising how many bags it takes as well.
