Vegetable Garden

So about a week ago I had a local landscaper build me a vegetable garden.  About 16' x 6' by 1'.



I figured that I'd need roughly about 4 square yards of topsoil to fill the box.  Earlier this week the topsoil - a 'triple mix, of earth, manure, and peat - was delivered, and today, after 230 buckets of hard shoveling, carrying, and dumping, the box is now filled.

Each bucket was about 15 litres worth, and much to my surprise, I still have about a yard of dirt left.

I'll sell it on kijiji.  Or maybe my neighbour'll buy it off me.  She needs to do some yardwork too...
