I live near Warner and Rural in Tempe, have no truck and need compost. Anyone going to Ken Singn's on 10/31 that might be willing to help me out? I think the load is $40-$60. I will pay 75% of the cost and split the load with you if you have a truck and can do the pickup.
Thank you so much. I am out of town this weekend, and would accept compost from either Ken's or I have heard good things about another place on the southwest side? Is 11/21 or another day possible? I am home-based so actually I could work with you on a weekday as well. Is the deal I proposed acceptable?

I'm probably not going to be available on the 21st and as Erica pointed out Ken only sells to the public on Sat. which is the only day I have the truck anyway. The deal sounds great if we can work out a Sat. The following maybe? Let me know.

Andrea, sorry I took so long getting back to you but if you still want to haul compost this Saturday we're up for it. Let me know if you want to meet us there or want us to pick you up at your place. We're thinking about 11:00? Let me know how you want to do this. Thanks
Saturday will be fine. I'm doing the herb class from 9-11...can I meet you there around 11:45 a.m.? I have a red Honda del Sol...I'll look for your truck there. Call my cell if you need me: 480-580-3021.
I have been searching for a place to get compost myself. We buy the 3 cu ft bags at home depot and it has so much junk in it. How large a load do you get for $40-$60? We have a 12 ft flat bed that we can put a large tarp on to confine the compost for hauling with our Ranger. Where is Ken's located? We are in West Mesa.

Diane, Ken is just east of the 101 on Thomas Rd. We have a short bed truck and it cost us $40, a full size bed is $60, don't know how much he would charge for your flatbed.
So I cooked the first of the rabbits we processed last week. Fried it like chicken. What went wrong is I have never fried chicken and I cooked it too long resulting in rubber rabbit so I popped it into the crockpot for three hours and it was divine…
I was just reviewing John Jeavon's book How to Grow More Vegetables and in it he mentions planting Mexican marigold (Tagetes minuta) for controlling nematodes.
Hi Brittany,
Now is sure the time to be making Kombucha since it's been gone off the shelves for a few months now. I so miss it! I hope and pray that the issues get resolved and it comes back.
I've had some really good success with making Kombucha…
Hi Chris - I don't have a PH tester. I've always just added bagged composted mulch, steer manuer and Starbucks grounds to my existing AZ soil to ammend. Some years my spring tomatoes are really good and sometimes not so good. Is there anything in ad…
Thanks for the heads up. When should transplants go in? It's so stinking hot out there! I have an area preparred and ready to go but dragging my feet in fear of the heat.
