Anybody know of a place in the N.Fort Worth area where i can get a truck load of soil for free or a decent price? i want to try a few Keyhole beds

Not in your area, but you can get a pickup full for around $20 at several places near me. It's about a yard.

Thanks guys

Thanks for the suggestion. There is actually one in north fort worth and they have great prices.

How much per yard?

For the "Vegetable Soil" its 40$ yard. I called another place and they wanted 60 per yard.

Thats MUCH cheaper. Any suggestions on a soil for vegetables?

I'd go compost only, or mostly. You have the loam and sand in your yard.

I have years old horse manure in stalls. Could i used the already broken down manaure?

What are you going to grow?

I use the rose mix from Living Earth. It works great in my vegetable garden.

By all means add the horse manure if it is not hot. Just till it in and water. Then Reilly again in a few days. Fresh manure is too hot and will burn your plants.

Ill be growing peppers,lettuce, leeks, yukons, tunips, and a few more. I have some in the ground but im experimenting with keyhole garden beds. We are going to put fish that we shoot with bows at the bottom then put soil with manure.

Its no long hot so i will till it in. Thanks for the tip.

Great idea on the fish, just treat it like any manure. Let it rest first then mix with your compost and till in. Would love to see pics of the veggies this summer.

Ill definatly post some pics throught the year. Thanks for all the help guys!

Dibs on a sack of fresh tomatoes!
