3/4 of a Cubic Yard

On these warm almost summery February afternoons with still air and sunny temps near 60° I have been doing more spring chores.

Cotton burr compost

I got ten bags of soil amendments at Newman's, each one 2 cubic feet (so three quarters of a cubic yard combined). 

Five bags were soil builder mix, which is cotton burr compost, and five bags were topsoil.

I'll mix them together to build up the areas I want to plant around the newly arranged moss rock borders. 

I'll have enough to add to other planting areas and maybe even add some in the common area where the dirt is so poor. Big jobs, though. I need to go back and get as many bags of bark mulch.

I schlepped all 10 bags to the back by the potting bench area. It wasn't even that hard. I'm a little amazed at how easy all my clean up chores and rock moving and tree transplanting and now toting bags of amendments has been.

Of course, it's the luxury of doing these things very slowly over many days and well in advance of the spring rush. And in cool winter weather -- although it feels summery, the air at 60° is cool enough for working outside comfortably. And I only do a little bit each day, with months ahead to get it all done.
