Hi Alison -- I hope this is where you meant for me to reply. I'm new to this site's set-up.
I don't think I can get up there today before dark, but I can either send my husband up tomorrow during the day, or one of us can come up Saturday morning, whichever works best for you. We're down by South Mountain. My garden will be fine with almost-ready compost (though it sounds like it's pretty much ready). How much will you charge for about a yard (that's about what our pickup truck can hold)? And where (exactly) can we find you? I think you can message me in private if you want to keep that info on the down-low :) Thanks! - Rasa
