sticknstring Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hey guys. We're looking at putting in a garden out back and could use at least 5 yds of good black dirt to mix into the mostly gravel/clay mix we've got now. Anyone know anyone local (Buffalo/Maple Lake)that sells it. I could even come get a few loads with my pickup if necessary. I got some from Tatanka last summer but I'm hoping to keep the cost down some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hey! The city of buffalo has all the black dirt you need by the civic center. It's all free if your a Buffalo resident. I bought a bunch last year then found this out and was like dang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishwater Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I would suggest getting compost. There is a place in Cold Spring that makes bulk compost for gardens - search for Mississippi Topsoils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmitty83 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Monticello has a compost site too that you can back up and load yourself. Right on Hwy 39 just before the Monti Country Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
