![]() Earlier this year I had a huge load of compost delivered. Are they going to hurt themselves doing this labor and need medical care afterwards? :)Ī load dropped off at my house would mean I'd have to hire someone to do the hauling and spreading for me. It also depends on who is doing it and what condition they're in. If you get all bagged products it might be easier than getting a load of dirt dropped off and then moving it all with a wheelbarrow or wagon. Its a matter of how you are going to haul this stuff to the beds? I'd say add one or the other.Īs to your other questions, a few thoughts: I can't answer your questions but if you are adding the black cow manure I don't think you need to add the compost too. There's also Lowes, Home Depot, and I think at least one other bulk seller just outside of town. I live south of Dallas, and Living Earth Technologies is just a few miles from me. He thinks my plan is too expensive and too much trouble, and would rather buy a truckload of soil from somewhere, rather than bags of this and that.ĭoes anyone have experience with this? Was the quality of the soil sold in bulk as good as what I'll get doing it my way? How much of a price difference can I expect between bagged products and bulk? Put in the new plants, and top all of it with fresh mulch.īetween all of the beds, DH has figured that we need about 30 cubic feet of soil to raise the level of the beds to the sidewalk. I've used that landscape mix before, and thought it was a fine product, but what do I know. My plan: Hand till in the remaining bark mulch, add Black Cow manure, compost, expanded shale, and "landscape mix" from Lowes. This is mostly clay soil, that was lightly ammended a few years ago when we moved in. ![]() We've removed everything that was either dead or overgrown in our foundation beds, and need to add soil to the beds before we replant. ![]()
