Bought some topsoil on Monday and never dumped it out of my dump trailer. I shoveled some out into a wheelbarrow and spread it on Wednesday in my yard in a low spot but noticed some rocks so I stopped since I figured I’d need to screen the dirt if I did anymore.
Well today we got a ton of rain and it’s revealed how much rock is really in the soil I got. Should I call the guy I got it from and ask what the hell or should I build a screen and screen all of it.. had intentions of screening it anyways since I bought some hardware cloth yesterday to build a screen but man the amount of rock actually in this soil seems absolutely terrible. I will have a hard time believing top soil would have this much rock in it… I paid $85 for 3 yards, seemed like a reasonable price. First picture is what I spread on my yard. Yesterday it didn’t look like it had this much rock in it but after the rain we got it really revealed what was in the dirt. Next two pictures is the dirt in my trailer and you can see the large rocks and the smaller stuff.
