Very important notes. 

This is an all volunteer effort sponsored by a small group of people who
love our gardens. We are not a business. Orders and full payment must be
received by 14 April. There MAY be a LIMITED number of bags available for
purchase the day of but please do not count on this. This is a
pre-order/pre-pay event and orders and payment must be received prior to
pick up. Additionally, your order MUST be picked up on 21 April between 9:00
and 1:00. Please ensure that you or your delegate picks up your soil
Saturday morning. We cannot store soil at the Community Forklift; any soil
that is not picked by 1:00 will be stored by members of the HHS at our
homes. Arrangements for pick-up MAY be made - at the discretion and
convenience of HHS members. In the event that this occurs, your order for
next year's sale will be received with great apprehension. 

The soil:

Chesapeake Blue is a premium compost specifically formulated when planting
vegetables, trees, shrubs, bulbs and flowers. Chesapeake Blue is composted
from crab shells and wood chips, is odorless as a result of the composting
process, and will improve soil structure retain moisture and resist weeds. 

Chesapeake Green is a compost specifically formulated for use on lawns and
flower beds. Blended from composted poultry litter, clam shells and wood
chips, it will provide thicker greener lawn. It's odorless from the
composting process and will add lime to your soil. It should be used in soil
where a neutral or sweeter pH is recommended.
