Fresh dirt delivery this morning - compost, manure and sand in roughly equal parts, for my raised beds. Has a little odor, but not terrible, will finish mellowing out of the next few weeks I expect. Getting it from the dump site to the greenhouse is a bit of a chore - I shovel it through a hole in my fence, down a 4' drop into my wheelbarrow in the yard. Then roll the barrow across the yard, over the lip into the greenhouse, and lever it up on the edge of the raised bed to dump in. 2 1/2 cubic yards of dirt is about 2 1/2 tons; I'm rather out of shape, so only got maybe half a ton done today. I'll keep at it though, hopefully get this done before it rains (moving wet dirt is sheer pain). #seattle #gardening
