Auburn Analyzed and Persistent Herbicide Free - it's BLACK GOLD!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach us at jhstables@aol.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    We load compost daily, 10am - 5pm BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, weather permitting.  Call James @ 205-478-1332 to schedule an appointment.



    We are on Hwy 47 in the Chelsea/Columbiana area.  Address is 6720 Chelsea Road, Columbiana in Shelby County.  (BTW, the speed limit in our driveway is 5 MPH.)


    Cash or Venmo is preferred.  Apple Pay or Zelle is also available.  We do not accept credit cards or personal checks.


    We do not deliver personally, but we work with a couple of people who have dump trailers and will deliver locally (10-15 miles from our address) for $100 - $150.  Longer distance deliveries are quoted based on your location.  (We will put you in touch with them and you guys work out the details!)


    A pickup truck generally holds 4-5 scoops, depending on the length of the bed.  A dump trailer will generally hold 7-8 yards (14-16 scoops) or about $300 worth.  


    No, there is no volume discount because the tractor, and the tractor operator, have to work the same per scoop whether its 1 scoop or 100.  


    If you have a dump truck and a loader, we will talk.


    We do not bag it or provide bags, but you are welcome to bring your own contractor-grade bags or containers and we will be glad to let you borrow a shovel.  Minimum purchase 1 tractor scoop @ $20.  


    No, it is not screened.  It is straight out of the 25 year old compost pile, so it may contain a clump of grass from the top layer.


    No, it is 20+ years old and it looks/smells like black dirt.


     - and don't show up or

     - are excessively late without communicating with us


    THAT WILL BE YOUR LAST APPOINTMENT.


    We value your time and we appreciate you valuing ours.  Thank you in advance for your consideration.
