Though it was 5 years ago, I expect Steuber's Distributing in Snohomish likely still has the best prices on huge bags of vermiculite and full bales of peat moss. I paid like $14 and $12.50 each for them way back when I built my beds.<br /><br />For compost, I had 5 yards delivered. You won't need that much at all, but maybe check with them or let your fingers do the walking on Cedar Grove compost. If you're not aware, Cedar Grove takes all our yard waste and composts it, then sells it back to us either in bulk or bags.<br /><br />We just dumped it all on a huge tarp and mixed it with shovels and rakes, then wheelbarrowed it to the beds. I still recall it was hard work yet satisfying.Sinfonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973076975622726383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943907460884846626.post-11613508699774754432011-05-25T15:40:07.713-07:002011-05-25T15:40:07.713-07:00Thanks for the offer! :D

I love being equal distance between Lowes and Home Depot, with a well-stocked True Value down the street!<br /><br />As for the garden beds, I would have been more than happy to help buid them. That is what I call fun!<br /><br />And oooh chickens! Yay!!!!!<br /><br />Congrats again!!!Sinfonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973076975622726383noreply@blogger.com
