Had an unfortunate encounter today. I've lived here 30 years and have supported Sparetime since and…read morealways have had a good experience. Today I pulled in with my truck that happened to have a utility trailer attached. I pulled in and backed carefully out of the way near the Uhaul trailers. An employee rushed over yelling at me that I needed to park outside for loading. He didn't greet me or even ask me what I need. (A few bags of manure). I said I just happened to have my trailer and he just continued yelling to park outside. Employees need to be trained better than this. I pulled outside and drove to Mendo mill to complete my purchase. Again I wasn't blocking any spaces and was already parked. Not a shining moment.

Sparetime is the premiere dirt store of Northern California.

These people are amazing. The dirt is amazing. We use it every year for our... Many uses. This year I'm growing a huge veggie garden and using their new garden mix for amendment! I know They've loaded 100's of yards over the years into the back of my truck, and we have plenty of friends who have used it over the years. It's never been too hot, although it really is a good idea to water it in first.. One tomato plant got barely crispy around the edge once, and if u feel like the dirt is a little too hard after it sits in the sun (with no mulch) then just ask for a bag of perlite added for $20. U can add it to any amount of compost, they mix with the tractor. You will become friends with everyone who works there if u frequent the place. They really are awesome people. I do have to complain about the approximate 1 rubber glove that comes free with every yard. And a dorito's bag once. Get some trash cans people!

Digging Dog Nursery in…read moreAlbion, California is simply the best of the best for mail-order plants, not only the usual variety one hopes to find but also hard-to-find perennials, tropicals, and other assortments. Their service is excellent; they respond to enquiries quickly and politely, and provide full answers to your questions. They are happy to combine or add-on to orders, and will acknowledge same via email; they will also hold shipments if you prefer a later date (always helpful for Zone 5b/6a). Again, their customer service is excellent; they are responsive, helpful, and extremely courteous in their emails. Now, about the plants: THESE ARE THE BEST MAIL-ORDER PLANTS I'VE EVER RECEIVED! I often order plants for clients throughout the year; each shipment from Digging Dog Nursery is carefully, securely, and safely packaged. Yes, the shipping/handling costs are high, but as I've noted, they are shipping from Albion, California to Lake County, Illinois and nothing is as cost-effective as it used to be. Each of my clients' orders have arrived in beautiful, fresh, green condition; the plants are healthy, and ready to go in the ground. My clients have commented numerous times upon both the quality of the plants and the quality of the packing; they were, are, and remain absolutely positively impressed in all aspects! I am happy to recommend Digging Dog Nursery in Albion, California for all your mail-order plant needs. THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST!
