[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3774311, member: 27284"] I bought my dirt from a company in the OKC Stockyards. I cant recall the name but there are billboards/ big signs along there. You’ll see them. IIRC there are 2 companies there. Also, Minick Materials, OKC, sells dirt. Ok, this is good healthy dirt. The dirt from the Stockyards was a bit “hot”, the manure wasn’t completely decomposed, should have let it sit for a year. They had a delivery service, guy arrived at my place, had a new Chevy 1 ton with a dump bed, asked where I wanted it dropped. Very nice smooth event. it wasn’t cheap, but it was cheaper than buying bags of crappy dirt at the big box store, and it was much better quality. I’d do the same thing again. Lumber is expensive. I bought 2x12 Cedar from the old timey lumber yard on NW 10th about Villa Ave. White wood rots out rapid quick. Recommend you look into some corrugated metal to build the bed frames. One more thing, I had a friend who worked at a Pro Nursery give me some super duper heavy quality landscape cloth to put down before you dirt in. Don’t skimp on this. Weeds suck. if you need a wheel barrow, buy the 2-tires wheelbarrow, much better, won’t tip like a one wheel one. [/QUOTE]
