And Syl- do not underestimate the weight that stuff will have. The endless weeks I spent getting rid of my stuff last year- I'm pretty sure my friends were ready to kill me.

That's why I say get it greenish- then sell the place and be done with it.
May I'm mis-using the term, or maybe it was because there was more dirt than sod since we were digging out a lot of dirt for the patio and flower bed. Or maybe given the crappy bentonite ladden soil in Drumheller builders aren't as particular. Whichever the case, I certainly had no problem getting rid of my sod and soil.
