We are buying a piece of property in Houston Alaska and are starting all over with our growing soil. Where would you recommend buying gardening soil/compost from? I have found only one place that offers services for selling it by the yard and that is Sustainorganics.com. Is this the only place that sells it in that quantity? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. I am also curious about apple trees and what species if any you would recommend for this area?
Thank you,

I could not pull up the sustainorganics.com website. However, if it is the company I think it is, they are the best in the Valley. Go to this website for recommended Alaska apple varieties: http://www.apfga.org/fruit_varieties/
