Free Soil!

Attention fellow gardeners:

I ordered 4 cubic yards of screened super soil from Boston Bark, and have about 1 full cubic yard remaining. If you have a shovel and a wheelbarrow/pickup (no, really), please contact me at nfgaudio[at]gmail[dot]com. Priority goes to individuals who can take the most.

Thanks!

I'd like to take all of this.

I have a truck for Saturday afternoon (I could pick up at 1). But I'm trying to find a wheelbarrow. How close to the pile could I get a small uhaul truck (10 footer) to just move by shovel. Do you have a wheelbarrow I could borrow to get it to the truck?

3rd in Line

Hi Emily,

You are currently 3rd in line to get the soil (I simultaneously posted on craigslist). I will let you know later today whether it's yours.

Thanks!
Nick

How did you like Boston Bark's service?

Pretty awesome. It was a gift, but I know (based on the inventory) the delivery fee was about $40. But they backed their small dump truck into my narrow driveway without a problem (pretty sure the driver was Clint Eastwood's long lost brother - in looks and cool factor - pulled up with a cigar in his mouth). They dumped on the tarp I laid out, and were off. Really easy and convenient.

I used them last year for soil and mulch and had similar - great - experience. The delivery to my tiny driveway went perfectly and the quality of mulch and soil is so much better than anything else around.

I also ended up with twice as much mulch as I needed and donated the remains to a friend with a pick up truck.
