I bought a truck load - I believe 10 cubic yards, for 30 dollars, from Solid Waste Management Facility in Tampa...Delivering is a bit expensive, around 100 bucks to get a truck, but overall, well worth it
They charge 10 dollars to fill up a pick up
Worth calling around and see if your County has something similar

Volusia shed has good mushroom compost. Ill mannered Ache gave me some once and I don't think I'll ever buy the bagged stuff again. I just bought five yards of the stuff for $19/cubic yard. There's a thirty dollar delivery fee. If you pick it up yourself I think it's $18/yard. Either way it comes out much cheaper than the bagged stuff--or driving all the way to Apopka. I had it delivered because I needed so much of it.

There's also a place that sells bulk compost out west of town, on 44. I don't remember the name of the place, but I was talking to another local gardener who swears by it.

The mushroom place is open on saturday too, isn't it? We've been there a number of times and I thought once on saturday. The veggies have been going crazy in that stuff.

Last time we were there (december), they weren't offering the cured stuff anymore - just hot right out of the factory. $5 a load - I don't think they care what size.

Thanks you guys! I'm gonna check out that Volusia Shed thing - appreciate the help!

I like Volusia Shed too. We have a pickup and you just go in and pay, pull up the truck and they dump it in the back. We are about to go get some more. It is great stuff.

Exactly where is this Volusia Shed?
I live in Daytona and haven't heard of it. Sounds like a great place to get compost.

It is at the intersection of 472 and 17-92 on the south side. Coming from Daytona it would be easy to take I-4 to 472 and head west.

Monterey Mushroom Farm is open 365 days/year. They are charging for the compost now. They seem to charge when they have enough interest and don't charge when it starts to back up. The last time I was there, they charged $5 for a truckload, no matter the size.

does anyone know if we can get them to fill a trailer of 4-6 bulk bags? What do they use for loading? need a lot more than a truckbed full.

Samantha they will not fill bags for you.you will have to keep going back for truck loads.I was just there and they were giving compost away.I took a small trailer 5by 10 and they filled it right up free of change that was Sat 5/28
