A few questions...
Can you get dirt/sod there? Do you have wheelbarrows? I need to fill in a rather large hole that came out of nowhere that I fell into last week. Good times, good times.

Maybe I should get some dirt for my mysterious yard-hole, too.

BAH. It's still not fixed. I peered out there this morning. I need to make some calls. Maybe you can help me bully some people.

Sorry for the delay, sometimes work gets in the way of my blogging. :roll:
Ah yes yard holes, twin joy to flooding basements, as a result of sinking the local creeks. The Garden Center will have bags o' soil for sale. We also have free compost* (on the left) and mulch (on the right) provided by Fairmount Park, in the Berks Street bins. Those are accessible 24/7, but this time of year, it's hard to keep up with demand all the time, so if it's low, don't be discouraged - stop back in a day or two. Better yet, plan ahead, so your weekend planting frenzy can continue unfettered. We don't usually carry sod, but if popular demand dictates... Brooke, there is a wheelbarrow, but you may have to leave your dog as escrow. Actually, since it could very well be in use, I might recommend a car, wagon, granny cart, biek basket, boyfriend or multiple trips. *FYI, compost is a soil enhancer, and as such can not support plant life in and of itself.
