    Getting out of bed at 6:30am for a potential early morning soil delivery isn’t the most fun start to the week. Hope the dirt and literal shit comes soon.

        Interesting. Did you do your maths wrong too and have any spare?

          No maths required. I tend to do it based on feel. This morning was just an average load and it all went into the receptacle with no issues

            That’s awesome! I did the maths and said no way, did the maths again and still said no way, so here’s hoping my reduced amount by just eyeballing it works out…

          Spare?

          Our deliveries are usually ‘OK, 2 metres should do it.’

          Then, many hours of shovelling later, ‘Damn, guess we better order more…’

            Same. It’s not here yet and I’ve definitely under egged this. I should’ve trusted the maths.

      I’m very glad that bulk soil delivery is a “last year problem” for me. Shovelling soil into a wheelbarrow, carting it to the back yard and then shovelling it out again into raised beds was not a fun experience.

        I truly feel your pain, and this isn’t my first rodeo.
