Cinder Blocks
 
Where around LC is the cheapest place to get cinder blocks?

Carol's mom and Jayden want to start a garden and I figure this would be the easiest way to build a bed. Also, where should I go to get the bedding material?

Pox, if you can save some for me. Use them to make brush piles at Toledo.

Go to lowes and ask for there used ones. $1 a piece. You can pick through them

tim3516 02-17-2014 08:45 PM

I'm mistaken I think they are half price which should put them cheaper than a dollar

we always use the concrete test cylinders, you can get them free.... I may have a pile if you need some

Paul, go to the Gillis saw mill and get a load of soil conditioner. it's a sandy mixture to blend with dirt and it works well for what you want... you can mix some sacks of miracle group top soil into it and plants grow great
