I've been away from the computer for a while. I apologize. It's just that we've been doing landscaping in the yard for the last couple of weeks. As well as working my body to the limits I learned a couple of lessons.1. If the man you call for soil asks "screened or not screened" choose screened. Even though it's twice as much it won't come with broken glass, a four foot section of iron pipe, clods of compacted dirt the size of basketballs, the entire root system of a tree, broken cinder blocks, and a golf ball.
2. Rent a bobcat. Shoveling fifteen cubic yards (a dump truck full) will wear on your arms. After the first twelve hours they felt like all of the bones were broken. The second day wasn't any better. Just another reason to get the screened soil. A couple years ago I shoveled a dump truck load of screened soil in four hours.
