Can you guess what it is?
It weighs 3,500 pounds.
Any Ideas?
It arrived by trailer from the big city and then was brought down the lane by a big construction forklift.
Thank you dear Family.

May be fertiliser or top soil - alternatively perhaps you are going to do some building work and need sand or cement.
ReplyDeleteDear Rosemary,
DeleteYes it is. Potting Soil. You have to be a gardener to get excited about a sack full of dirt. Thank you for playing along.
Gina, I'm guessing building materials such as blocks, rocks or concrete mix to . . . . . . . .
ReplyDelete1. Build something new and awesome in the garden
2. Fix something at the fountain
3. Build something at the pond - such as a low wall to sit on, or a diving board for the ducks and geese!!!!!
Bob's guessing seed (that's a heck of lot of veggies say I!!!), or fertilizer for the alfalfa field!
Can't wait to find out.

Dear Mary,
DeleteWhat great projects you have in mind for me. I splurged on 7,000 pounds of potting soil. The old soil will go to the edges of the pond (you were right, a wall) where reinforcement is needed. Interestingly, Bob, our large field to the north and west is being re-seeded in Alfalfa as I write.
Gosh how on earth will all that be done - please tell us you will have help from some strong landscape professionals!
DeleteDear Mary,
DeleteNo worries. I will have lots of help once the planting season begins. I hope I have enough. And if there is some left over, that is all right too. I like seeing a big heap of soil ready to go.
Since it's outside, I'm guessing it's fertilizer for your garden. Otherwise I would guess clay for art.
ReplyDeleteDear Lorrie,
DeleteYou were almost right. It is actually potting soil enhanced with a healthy dose of fertilizer. I can't wait for it to get a little warmer so that I can have fun with it. For now the ground is still frozen.
Can I still comment, Gina? I thought I had left a guess, but it has disappeared???
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, Comments disappear all the time. I'm glad that you came back for another visit.
DeleteOK - I had guessed you had ordered a concrete scupture or small fountain. But then, I noticed the bag was a little transparent and one could see it looked more like something more fluid as a curve was visible (!)
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, A fountain would have been a good idea. However, it was just a big bag of dirt. Now begins the work.
