I’M SO EXCITED!

I’ve gotten bulk garden soil in the past and prefer getting it that way. Acquiring soil this way, instead of buying it by-the-bag at the local big box store, I can get a huge amount of soil all at once. Without a truck, however, this has not been an option.

It turns out, my local feed and garden store will DELIVER it to me! Saturday, I ordered 3 cubic yards from Piedmont Feed & Garden Center – enough to fill both of my 8′ x 2′ x2′ raised beds, all of my fabric pots, and the two Greenstalk vertical planters, with more left over.

Besides the convenience of this soil delivery, I saved a significant amount of money. Three cubic yards with delivery fees cost about $190.00. Buying this amount of bagged soil would have cost $600.00, plus would require multiple trips to Home Depot. What a savings!

My garden-ready soil will arrive on Friday. I will be able to plant my peas, carrots, lettuces and other greens next weekend.

I’m so excited!

There was one other boon on Saturday. While at the garden center, I noticed they were having a tool sharpening event. So, I sent Oscar back with loppers, axes, and other tools that have needed sharpening for quite some time. It was an unexpected completion of a necessary task.
