Availability of bulk composted soils around Dayton?

16 years ago

I moved here recently and am hoping to be in a place where I can have a large garden in spring (cross your fingers).

When living in Michigan and setting up my veggie garden initially I had a large dump truck deliver a huge pile of mushroom compost mix that I spread out to and 1 to 2 "and tilled in. Seemed to help the clay soil quite a bit.

Anything similar in the Dayton area?

I am sure there are other places but Tom's Mulch is online and you can check out their prices. They are located south of Dayton. Tomsmulch.com. They have a couple different composts including horse manure with sphagnum. I think its about $30 a yard. I may be cheap but I would be interested if someone else has some other suggestions that are less expensive.

I admit, I haven't been browsing here lately and you may have already found the answer. I live in Troy and Andy's Garden has it. I'm sure you can order it from Siebenthallers and likely other places as well.
