Following up on my post last week

Filling in Holes, I finally got a chance to call some cemeteries to see if they would give me free dirt to fix my back yard. I called three and all were very polite. The first had another company that took the excess dirt for them. The second and third both had a pile of dirt that I was welcome to take as much as I wanted. At the advising of one of my readers I also called the local school district to see if I could take some dirt from behind their softball field (where they apparently dump all the excess from building projects). Although pleasant on the phone, no one knew who I would have to ask to get permission and as with most bureaucracies I was handed off in circles until I got frustrated and gave up. So the best bet seems to be my original idea of going to the cemeteries. So next time you need some dirt don’t waste your money having someone haul it to you. Just borrow a truck and run to the local cemetery to get it free.
