Where is the best place to get a lot of compost at a low or cheap price?
I need compost for my garden this year. I have a large pile but it will not be well composted in time. Where can I find like a trailer load of it at a cheap price or free? A place 24 miles from us charges 10 per yard. I also need top soil but will have to buy that also. I do not have a whole lot of money. Bummer.
Please let me know if you can help out in any way. I need a lot of advice. I have some goat manure that is not well composted but it is said to be able to go on a garden fresh and not harm plants. I will be picking up some more manure in a week or so.
Contact your local sanitation district. That’s right, the sewer people. Sludge is about the only bio solid material that you can get for free. The only reason it’s free is because no one wants it. You’re actually paying for it, though (with your tax dollars).
Do peel your carrots and radishes before eating them……
Compost takes a lot of work to produce on a mass basis. Large pieces of equipment are needed to grind, turn and process compost. Loading and trucking are expensive.. with fuel costs escalating, they are likely to get even MORE expensive. To expect to get this all for free isn’t reasonable.
That considered, $10 per yard is a DEAL!
