Why I own a @fordtrucks F150 : dirt

my raised beds seemed to have lost about 1/3 of their soil. Not sure why. It may be when I weed them some soil always comes with the roots of the weeds, or the soil is settling slowly.

Getting garden soil can be a logistical pain. And expensive. You have to order it and have it delivered, dumped onto your driveway, and then you move it.

BUT, if you own a Ford F150, you just drive down to the gravel yard, pay them $22, and get a huge load of soil.

    The only thing better than owning an F-150 is having a friend that owns an F-150!

    if you do borrow your friend’s F150, it is proper to return it with a bottle of single malt or bourbon .

    As an F150 owner, I agree with Eric, wholeheartedly. That does, however, more than double the cost of the load of soil.
