Calling all urban gardeners and farmers...
Rural gardeners and farmers take soil for granted. City gardeners and farmers often don't have any. Start singing matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match. Lorelee, a CJ customer, is putting a pool in her East End back yard and would like to find a home for the plethora of good soil she'll be excavating. Are you her perfect match? If so, send an email to info@constructionjunction.org explaining your need and we'll hook you up. Be sure to put "soil" in the subject line.

Cozmo’s Message of the Week
