Getting Ready

The City of Columbia sells compost by the truckload.  I borrowed Melanie's truck and bought a load - $20 if you load it yourself $30 to have them load it. I wasn't about to load knowing I had to go home and unload it.  They pulled up with a big front end loader and just dropped it in the truck.  I spread all of the compost out in the garden and then spread it out.  I started to put compost on some gardens I have planned inside the back yard - but Kit loves it too much and if she kept walking into the house with compost all over her feet from digging - Suzanne would be using me for compost. 

Here is a picture of the truck load - about halfway empty.
