FREE: 5 yards clean soil
 

Hello everyone,

First time posting here.
Not certain if this is the correct forum.
I'm doing some landscaping work and have
roughly 5 yards of clean dirt/soil if anybody
needs it; loose pile. The only problem is
I can't deliver it. You have to pick it up
and/or have it hauled away.

thanks,

CPB

clean dirt?

Where's the problem?

Having that much "top soil" precludes his living in city/town centre,
The use of the term Soil probably indicates British or European background,
So you are just looking froe an ex pat Brit living in the country.......
Now doesn't that make it easier to find him?

Interesting oxymoron: 'clean dirt'.

Since I don't have a truck nor do I know where to drive to lets make
this easy and say, could you e-mail me the dirt as an attachment...?

Not definitive. "Top soil" (or topsoil) is a common term in the US. It
is often applied to anything that isn't sand or solid clay when
flogged commercially. The use of "dirt/soil" indicates this may be
*good* dirt with some organic component, not just landfill.

5 cubic yards isn't *that* much for a USAsian suburban yard/garden,
and in fact, wouldn't be much of a problem or prize in the country, so
I'm guessing suburban, but not Major Metropolitan Area.

As an earlier poster wrote, all we have to do is check world satellite
photos for a new pile of dirt in a (probably) English-speaking
suburban location.

Not so. In these days of toxic everything, it might have to be
certified by chemical analysis, but presumably means homesite dirt
without construction rubble, weeds & seeds, or recent chemical
contamination. OTOH, it could mean sand. My mother, who grew up in the
east, always qualified the fine dust that blew into the house in New
Mexico as "clean dirt" in that it could simply be vacuumed up and had
no traces of oil or coal dust.

Well it could be anything, as you should see what they pass off as
topsoil to folks in Alabama. It oculd be anything from prairie soil to
blue marle clay to sand to clay gravel to mushroom soil that some
places import from the northern states. I have seen places use a front
end loader to just mix up whatever they can collect together be it
stuff vaccummed up from parking lots to recycled ground up ashpalt
roadways mixed with cow manure, and sawdust.

Wait a minute Frogleg,

lets not assume he meant 5 "cubic" yards.. he only said he had "roughly
5 yards" of the stuff, for all we know he meant 5 "lineal" yards...!!

Like jammer said, where is it?

Better make sure you have your monitor sticking out a window before you open
that attatchment. Hauling all that dirt out of your house could be a real
chore, never mind the clean-up.
