Compost is from the city dump. They sell it to you at
$8.00 per cubic yard. Very good deal. If I buy from Home depot in
plastic bags, it will cost me about $200.00 per cubic yard.


What is the city dumping there?? I would be VERY leary of using city
compost for edible products since people sent a lot of toxic waste to
the dump via city pickup. Using the city compost for flower gardens is
one thing, but for vegetables is a severe health risk.
