[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 215553, member: 1288"] I'm building 4 raised planters to get my garden started. They will be 4x8x2 and each will hold approximately 64 cubic feet of soil. I can get some good screened black dirt that's mixed with manure for about $26 a yard. I'd likely have to wait until load restrictions are lifted and just get a full truck load since I'll also need some for landscaping around the house. The other option for the planters is to use compost that sells for $5 a yard at the Bismarck Landfill. Obviously, it would cost much less to go this route so that's definitely a plus. I've got access to a 14ft dump trailer, so I could do all of the hauling myself if I wanted to make a few trips. If the compost is a good option, could it also be used in the landscaping around the house? Which option would you choose, and why? After a little more research I've learned that the compost is necessarily good "soil", so what about doing a 50/50 mix with the black dirt? [/QUOTE]
