Because planting the garden started to become a family thing rather than just my own, my mom suggested that we get the soil from the compost pile at the dump because it was reusing resources rather than just going and buying it in packages. The drive up there was pretty long, but the ride back was worse because we had to live with the smell. My entire family went, and when we got there it was just a huge pile of dirt. We had lots of empty trashcans and shovels and we shoveled soil into about 10 trashcans before breaking our backs trying to put them back in the car. Once we got home, we lined the bottom of the planters with chicken wire so no animals can dig under and ruin the plants. After that we dumped all the trashcans of soil into the planters and spread them out so they were even with a rake. Then we had to spray the soil with water so it could soak it up and become more healthy.
