Is there a place get bulk compost

Hi, American Soil and Stone in Richmond has many options and they deliver, delivery fee based on zip code. Check out their website for products they sell and give them a call to purchase and schedule your delivery. 

Have you considered manure?  In 2018, we got an enormous mountain of horse manure dumped in front of our house by a local stable.  I don't recall which one offhand--maybe Piedmont Stables?  Bee Green is also a great option.

American Soil Products in Richmond

American Soil and Stone delivers.  I like the Walt Whitman mix - the rice hulls were great for my heavy clay soil.

There's a free compost hub at Alameda Point, if you're able to haul it yourself: https://alamedabackyardgrowers.org/alameda-compost-hub-now-open/

They give it away for free at the Berkeley Marina https://berkeleyca.gov/city-services/trash-recycling/free-compost-progr…

Maybe you could hire someone with a flat bed pickup truck to go for you? 

Hi. I recently bought bulk compost from Bee Green Recycling and Supply (https://www.beegreen.green/). They currently have a promo code through EBMUD which is EBMUD20 for a 20% discount that expires on 3/31. They also deliver for a fee.

I hope this helps.

Ive used mulchery in walnut creek (you can find thdm online). Their compost is great and organic and weve used them for mulch also. I have also used sloat (their bulk delivery is in danville) but it had a little bit of an earthy smell and we liked the mulchery one better. They deliver and are very responsive to inquiries.

Acapulco Rock and Soil (www.acapulcorock.com) and American Soil and Stone (www.americansoil.com) both sell compost by the yard and both deliver. They have pretty similar product lines, though American Soil sells some fancier stuff not available at Acapulco. They are both in Richmond a few blocks from each other and have sample material in display.

BeeGreen (www.beegreen.green) sells landscape products (such as compost, gravel, pavers) like the other places; they also sell and rent landscaping equipment, irrigation supplies, and firewood. They're located near Oakland Coliseum and they deliver.

The City of Berkeley provides free compost to Berkeley residents. Compost is available for pickup year-round at the Berkeley Marina. Compost loads are delivered every Friday, usually by 6:30 am. A second load is delivered on Tuesdays when demand is high in the spring/summer (March-August). You'll need to bring your own shovel and pickup truck. If you search "city berkeley free compost" you'll get a map.

Be forewarned: with all this rain, the compost will be wet and heavy. Around here, delivery means dropping it in the street, and by law it has to be off the street in 24 hours. You also have the option of getting bagged material delivered on a pallet, which might be easier to handle and store but costs more.

Final note: consider applying gypsum as well as compost.  Gypsum is a natural mineral, calcium sulfate, that reduces sodium levels in soil thus improves soil structure, porosity, and aeration in salt-affected clay soils.  The main benefit would be sodium removal, which may or may not be an issue for you, depending on where your yard is and the history of the soil.  (I used horse manure on my yard once, and salt the manure contained really affected how the soil handled water.  Never again.)  It's pretty cheap and at a minimum will add secondary nutrients (calcium and sulfur).
