[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5687504, member: 20583"] About $200 last time I checked in my area. I figured it up once to be roughly $10K/acre at 3" depth. That's just dumped, not spread, and doesn't include excavation cost for the reservoir. But it's a pipe dream for me. Wouldn't work on my place anyway. Terrain is too steep for a dump truck and no roads to access plots. Otherwise I'd probably actually try it out. By the time I achieve 3" of topsoil naturally over time by planting & allowing organic matter to accumulate, the cost I will have incurred in time, energy, equipment, seed, fuel, chemicals, etc. will far exceed $10K. From a practical point bringing in topsoil is cheaper, faster, and more effective as I could have great plots beginning immediately. But my luck I'd do it and a flash flood would wash it all away first season. [/QUOTE]
