   Yes, close to 40 litres, which is correct, sounds like a lot for 3 days!   
      
   One other definition of a bushel would be a container that is large enough   
   to contain a bushel.  If the writer meant the container, it is possible   
   that it was not full.   
      
   Since the writer didn't specifiy, who knows?  Maybe they really liked peas!   
    :D
