Beachboy,
That dirt you’re looking at isn’t topsoil. It’s “Cane Wash” from the Pepeekeo sugar mill.
All the suppliers around here use it and it’s what they make the cinder soil out of.
It’s full of clay and hard to work with cuz it clumps. I mixed a bout a ton (back of a P/U truck) with a bag of the Promix ($40.00) and I got the soil to loosen up and become lighter and more manageable. Also I gave it some nutrients with the Promix. I think the dirt is pretty tired and who knows what else is in it?
I’m sure glad I get it a contractors prices but I would guess it would be about $30/ton delivered.
Call Bryson’s or Puna Rock to get a current price.
