I've bought from Tiner's in past years. It's quality has varied a little bit from time to time, but overall it's still pretty good. I haven't been able to find a lot of good sources in this area, if anyone else has a better recommendation I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for the head's up on Tiner's--we're going to be moving to our new house in verdigris in about 6 weeks, and I'm hoping I can plant some herbs and a late veggie or two between unpacking boxes...Also, anybody know of a good place in the Tulsa/Claremore area to score large (4 Cubic feet+) bags of vermiculite? All I can find are the small bags, but I haven't done an exhaustive search yet.

I got some in early March for $16 per scoop. It was fairly good at that time, but they probably only had 6 or 8 scoops of it left. It was not great, but not bad either.

How much did yours cost?

Gem dirt delivered some good garden soil to me in March. It was part compost, but also had a little gravel in it once the rain settled it.

Tiner's was $28.00. It was $35.00 at Enterprise. What I got from Tiner's was decent but I wouldn't call it great. It had some clay clumps but not nearly as much as Enterprise. The worst thing with Tiner's is there is quite a bit of stuff that's not broken down yet. That has been my experience with their compost in the past also. It's really a shame about Enterprise... last year they had VERY good compost that was light, fluffy and well broken down just like it should be. Tiner's has some other compost around back that is actually broken down a little better but it's kind of acidic with lots of pecan shells in it.

How much "compost" are you getting for $28? I bought some bagged Back to Nature cotton burr compost 2 cu ft for $5 and got 5 bags. Wasn't sure if it would have been better to buy by the truck load. I do feel Back to Nature is good stuff though.

You get 1 cubic yard for $28.00. That is one bucket on a front end loader. It's just about right for a 1/2 ton pickup. Back To Nature is excellent stuff.... much better quality than what you get in bulk.

My mistake, breasley.

Today when driving down Memorial, I noticed it was Easton Sod (half mile further south) where I picked up my compost, not Enterprise. I also have picked up a few scoops of pine mulch at Easton, and have been fairly impressed with their quality, prices, and the people there.

I paid $16 per scoop on the Easton compost, which I estimated to be between .8 and 1.0 yards. It was fairly good in March. I DO rememebr driving through Enterprise at that time and looking and not being impressed with their stuff.

Thanks Scott! I'll give Easton a try.

I saw this on Craigslist. I have not been out to check it out for quality. the contact is

We have a property with several horses and we have a compost pile.
It is a mixture of horse manure, pine shavings and a little hay. We've been told by many "this is the good stuff" and have had several people come back for second and third loads.
We don't have a front end loader but are willing to help load it up for you.
We have a never ending supply so come one, come all.

Contact to schedule a time to come by.

Location: 71st and Evans Rd

A couple of us have picked up a load of this. It is mostly pine shavings with about 25% by volume manure. It should be OK to use next year for me.
