Take a journey with me as my hobby grows into a part time business. I will be offering lessons and mistakes on propagating seeds and bulbs for resale. I am growing vegetables in a 2 1/2 acre farm and orchard for CSA boxes and donate to food pantries.

A Big Pile of Dirt!
I received a load of planting mix at the my new location today. This dirt was purchased from Growers choice in Perris Valley, CA. Its a nice load of dirt, and their is a lot of organic material in the soil. They charge $27.00 for 1 cubic yard which will fill the bed of a small pickup. The pile in the pictures is 8 cubic yards and will fill 6-7 of my raised beds. One pictures shows my ranger beside the pile to give you a reference point showing how big the pile is. I will be adding some topsoil to it as I place it in my beds. Their is an old saying - "if you spend a dollar on seeds or plants, spend $10.00 on soil". Good loamy, nutrient rich soil will help plants ward off insects and diseases, so you don't have to use pesticides or herbicides. Their address and phone number is Growers Choice
