Hey RealLM, Thank you for sharing this site with me on houzz! Its quickly become a daily venture for me.
I have 6 raised garden beds for my vegetable garden with wire underneath (have gophers) and had to order 10 cubic yards of soil to fill them. They are 8’x4’ each. I ordered from American Soil & Stone in Richmond (they’ll deliver anywhere in the bay at varying cost) for about $43 a cubic yard. They charged $120/hr for delivery. I’m less than an hour from them but a friend in Palo Alto ordered some soil and it took 2 hours for her. The soil is called Local Hero Veggie Mix and here’s the description from their site:
A favorite amongst vegetable gardeners this well amended sandy loam is designed specifically for vegetables. Can either be used to fill raised planters or blended with existing soil. This product utilizes chicken manure, grape compost and cocoa bean hulls to provide a long lasting nutrient source.
Contains: Sandy Loam, Greenwaste Compost, Rice Hulls, Chicken Manure, Grape Compost, Fir Bark, Cocoa Bean Hulls
They also sell the grape compost separately to add in the coming years as well. It’s a slow release balanced fertilizer that my vegetable plants really seem to love.
They also have an Ultra Bedding Mix that might be a little cheaper and also work for you. From their site - American Soil & Stone
Excellent for pots or filling raised planters. Can be used for flowerbeds and general landscape plants. This soil uses coconut coir as an alternative to peat moss.
Contains: Coconut Coir, Greenwaste Compost, Rice Hulls, Chicken Manure, Grape Compost, Red Lava, Sandy Loam
I purchased the Local Hero Veggie Mix after reading this edible landscaper’s review of it for his installments and asking around at our local master gardeners workshops - Local Hero... just amazing results - DaveTheGardenGuy
