They charged us a ridiculous amount of money for labor and I don’t want to pay that again. We’ve also just bought tons of bags of compost at American Plant and done it ourselves, but it wasn’t quite enough and it was also super expensive.

Anyone know of a good source for compost that I can get delivered in bulk? And anyone know how I can calculate how much to order? I think I need about 5 inches depth per bed, they’re 12 feet long by 2.5 feet wide.

I too up my beds with soil and compost from these guys https://www.veterancompost.com/our-products/

They deliver

Can anyone speak to the delivery charge? I may need to check these guys out this year….

OP here, I forgot that I posted this until I looked at my to-do list today and saw “fill garden beds.” Thanks for all of the helpful responses! Thanks especially to whoever linked the calculator from Gardeners Supply.

I’ll look into some of these. We’re in NW Dc.
