I've given up...

moral outrage!
I'm having 3 cubic yards of potting mix delivered today. Carting around 40 lb. bags of dirt gets old real fast.

I used a dolly to move my bags around the yard. Made a huge difference.

I've used my garden cart for compost hauling, but I still have to get the 40 lb. bags into and out of the car. Okay, I can often get the store to load them in, but I still have to take them out...

That's the nice thing about a dolly. The bottom is ground level, so I only had to drag or lift the bag up an inch or so to get them on the dolly. On the downside, I can only move one bag at a time, but it was so easy that I didn't mind.

(My bags were delivered, so I didn't have to deal with getting them in and out of a car.)

sounds like an excellent idea. next on your list of purchases should be a wheelbarrow. :-)

I have a garden cart, but it lives in the backyard right now. The spirea has gotten so big that the cart no longer moves easily from the front to back yard.

Once I trim the spirea and level out the ground, you bet! :)

Mmmm, yes.

I loved the dirt delivery days. Revel in it, sister.

I reveled! I got the second driveway bed filled last night. Hardly made a dent in the dirt pile. Three cubic yards is a rather impressive pile, but I've three more beds to fill completely and three to top off.

I was moving 40 pound bags of manure for my mom's garden on Sunday morning (delaying me slightly for the Moviethon), but it was all worth it. Nothing quite like realizing you can look to your mother with a smile on your face and say "Here's all your bullshit taken care of for this morning".

In my defense, she thought it was funny.
