Default What to use for soil

A "small spot" is meaningless... about how many cubic yards are you
talking... ten cu yds is not a lot. You will be better off buying topsoil
with compost added by the truckload (check your yellow pages for a local
supplier), then periodically add amendments you can buy by the bagful at
your local home improvement center. It'll be much too expensive to buy
the quantity of soil you're likely to need by the bagful. People almost
always under estimate the quantity of soil they need by at least twofold.


Hi Paul, if you're from Brooklyn NY there's a general chatboard for people
from there and Queens called
http://members6.boardhost.com/Queens...tml?1237065356 or
http://members6.boardhost.com/QueensNYer/ you may want to check out. It's a
nice bunch of people from those boroughs who discuss everything.
