This is the last reminder to contact Angelina about a Mulch and Manure order for August 2014.
Today is the LAST day to place your order.
Orders
- Please fill in the attached order form and email it to me before Friday 22nd of August.
- Please note that the price for Lucerne is now $16 a bale due to a difficult growing season.
- I have source a supplier who can deliver sugar cane for $5.50 a bale, but delivery may take anywhere between 1-4weeks once the order has been placed. This is because our order will need to be included on a truck that is delivers in the same area.
- Lucerne is better for your plot as it feeds the soil but if you cannot afford it then go for the sugar cane. Maybe consider by 2 bales of lucerne and 1 bale of sugar cane!
Payments
- Do not do anything now – Payment will be required once the orders have been confirmed with the suppliers.
- I will email you once this is done!
Delivery
- Your manure order will be ready for pick up on Friday 29th August at 4:00pm.
- We will need as many people as possible to help unload the truck. Please let me know if you can help.
- Deliver dates of the Lucerne and or Sugar cane will be advised once the orders are placed.
Other
- Please note we will need a minimum of 60 bags (1pallet) of manure.
- We will need a minimum of 10 bales of sugar cane.
- We will need a minimum of 30 bales of Lucerne.
Contact Angelina today! to ensure your order!
If you can help with the unloading… Let us know
