Our first year in this house we did it ourselves (about 18 to 20 yards).

The next 2 years, yes, we decided that the extra money we had from moving out of Connecticut was well spent on yard crews to do the work.

This year though, well....we sorta have the time. And the kids are 3 years older, so we're going with do it yourself again. Do about 10 to 15 wheelbarrows......go back inside to check email and work for awhile, and then repeat 2 or 3 times a day.

I pay $18 a yard (and the yards are very generous) from our county compost ** -- Vienna_Hokie 04/07/2020 3:20PM

Standard bag is 2 c.f., so rerun your math with that? -- JoesterVT 04/07/2020 2:42PM

HD / Lowes are 2...most garden centers sell 3 -- Vienna_Hokie 04/07/2020 3:22PM

And...HD guy told me that they are going to 1.5 this year, same price ** -- Vienna_Hokie 04/07/2020 3:23PM

The advertisement specifically says 3 cu ft "Compare to the Big Box Store" -- Late 80s Hokie 04/07/2020 2:54PM

Maybe a little inadvertant false advertising -- JoesterVT 04/07/2020 3:22PM

Yes, I know...but NOT at many smaller stores. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 04/07/2020 4:02PM

But the add said "compare to the big box stores"... -- JoesterVT 04/07/2020 4:20PM

I like it bulk in my truck. I can drive it to the location. Much easier. -- 48zip 04/07/2020 2:00PM

Shovel 16 yards and what do you get? (I got a yard crew after one time) ** -- Tuckahokie 04/07/2020 2:13PM

Another day older and deeper in debt ** -- RTFC 04/07/2020 7:02PM

It's much easier (w/ a pitchfork) than dragging, cutting amd emptying bags. -- 48zip 04/07/2020 3:16PM
