[Grovenet] Pick Up Truck and/or Trailer Needed

[Holly T.]

Hi Tom,

The six raised beds (each 4'x6'x22") will take 9 yards altogether. But, there is some crummy soil with gravel in it near the entrance to the gardens already (perfect for the bottom of each of the beds because the gravel will improve drainage). So, I'm guessing we'll need to haul something like 6 yards from Williams Fuel. I have no idea how big that is in terms of trucks and trailers. Maybe you do???

The beds are being delivered to my house tomorrow (Tues.). But, plans are to erect and fill them on Saturday. So, the fill dirt could be picked up anytime between tomorrow and Saturday.

Problem is, I need to get Williams Fuel to commit. Last I talked with the owner, she was "thinking" about it. Now that I know that you might be able to transport the soil, I will contact her tomorrow morning and see if I can get a firm commitment from her. I believe there'll be no problem with getting help with shoveling the dirt out at the garden site. We have a great crew out there setting things up.

Will get back to you asap after I speak with the owner of Williams Fuel.

Thanks so much, Tom!

Holly
