That's a good idea!

I got my dirt from E-Z Tree Recycling. Cheapest way to buy in bulk.

Wow, looks great, Garth! How much does bulk dirt cost? 

I've got some garden photos up here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friends-of-the-Lincoln-Square-Commun...

Not much happening right now except for hops doing their usual enthusiastic thing...

Hi Anne!

Sorry, just saw your message.  Going from fuzzy memory, I think the truck was 17 cubic yards (459 cubic feet) and cost about $400.  That included taxes and $100 delivery charge. It's the best price in town that I've found, Mike the owner is a great guy, too.

I've been quite pleased with the quality, too. It has a good fiber content. pH is neutral. And it's grows plants pretty well w/o adding initial fertilizer/compost.
