three ways to buy brooks compost blends
Option 1: Pick Up Bulk BR-1 or BR-4 by the Tractor Scoop at Country Farm & Home
Aside from ordering a 25-30 yard truckload directly from Brooks Contractor, this remains the most economical way to purchase Brook's original compost blend (BR-1) and their 50/50 compost/topsoil blend (BR-4). Bring a truck and/or trailer with sides to our store and we can scoop these bulk products directly into your vehicle. Our tractor scoops are 1/2 yard. Keep in mind the weight restrictions of your vehicle. BR-1 weighs ~600-750lb per scoop dependent on water weight and BR-4 weighs ~900-1100 per scoop.
Option 2: Schedule a Local Country Farm & Home Dump Truck Delivery of BR-1 or BR-4
This option is available to anyone wanting to purchase BR-1 or BR-4 within a 20 mile radius of our store. Our truck can haul up to 4 yards of BR-4 and 5 yards of BR-1 per trip. For more details about pricing, load capacity, and delivery fees, click here.
Option 3: Order Any of the Four Brooks Blends by the Cubic Yard Tote for Store Pick Up or Delivery Across the Carolinas
Things to consider before placing a tote order:
- All Four Brooks blends are available in totes: BR-1, BR-4, BR-1MG, BR-1NOP. See descriptions below.
- Tote pricing is listed below and is different from bulk tractor scoop pricing due to packaging, labor, and transportation costs.
- We are currently only stocking totes of the BR-1MG at the store. All other blends must be pre-ordered. Our truck picks up tote orders from the Brooks Contractor facility roughly every two weeks, so allow lead time for order fulfillment.
- If you want to pick up a tote at the store, your truck and/or trailer must be able to accommodate the weight. BR-1, BR-1MG, BR-1NOP each weigh +/- 1250lb per tote dependent on water weight. BR-4 weighs +/- 1800lb per tote. Each tote sits on a 40" x 48" wood pallet and is roughly 3.5' tall.
- If you need delivery, we are currently only offering tote delivery with our liftgate truck in the Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Durham areas. Delivery with a liftgate requires a hard-packed gravel, asphault, or concrete surface. We must be able to use a pallet jack to move the tote from our liftgate to your property without getting stuck.
- Tote delivery on any of our more distant farm delivery routes is available to anyone who has a tractor or skid steer on site for offloading.
