[Grovenet] Pick Up Truck and/or Trailer Needed

[Holly T.]

Hi Tom,

I have a definite source for the garden soil. Great garden soil in fact!

They are Cascadian All in One and they're located at the intersection of West Union and Dick Roads in Hillsboro.

We have ordered six yards. My Cascadian contact tells me that your typical pick-up truck, depending on weight limitations, can carry maybe two yards at a time. You said you have pick-ups, trailers, and trucks; so I'm unclear as to how much you can handle and how many people are available to you for hauling.

Walt Wentz, co-chair for the FG Community Gardens, would like the soil delivered by Friday evening in time for the ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 AM. But, Cascadian is open from 7:30-5 PM on weekdays and from 8 AM-2PM on Saturdays. So, if it's better for you to deliver Saturday morning before the 11 AM ribbon cutting, that works too.

Are you still on for assisting us with moving the dirt? If so, when's the best time for you?

I will make sure we have a crew of shovel-ready volunteers available for unloading each load of dirt as it arrives.

Would you please give me a call so that we can discuss the above?

Thanks,

Holly Tsur
