I'd like to find out if anyone has any suggestions for mixing a huge amount
of dirt + compost. I'm still in the process of building my tire garden and
in the short term I need about 635 cubic feet of this mixture (actually in
the VERY VERY short term, it's more on the order of 141 cf). I've got the
dirt, I've got the compost. What I've *been* doing is mixing it in a
wheelbarrow, sort of 2 cubic feet at a time. Every turn of the shovel to
get the stuff mixed is accompanied by an explative of one flavor or
another. There MUST be a better way! All I can come up with is renting a
concrete mixer for a day or two, but even the 9 cubic foot one I could get
for $75 a day would require 70 loads. I've tried a 30 gallon trash can but
that doesn't work too well. I've also tried various incantations. I've
even tried wishing really really hard. Swearing at the whole thing doesn't
do much, either. ;)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
