Report
Horrible soil! Paid $43 a yard for Loam compost mix and got garbage literally. I found pieces of glass and plastic( rather large)along with other material now spread all over my front yard. Not to mention the soil it self is full of clumps ranging from pebble size to fist size. It looks like a rabbit shit all over my yard. Can't grow grass in this. Waste of money and time. Do yourself a favor and go to Walmart and get bags of dirt there it's better quality!
