How much and how far is key to deciding upon how to move it. I had a dump truck load and moved most of it about 40 - 75 feet. I mostly used 5 gallon buckets as it was easier to place it exactly where I needed it: under raspberries, blueberries, and small fruit trees. I moved it into the buckets by scooping with the buckets, my hands, and a smallish 'rake' (like a steel rake but with 5 tines that are a bit wider and with a 20 inch handle). The steps were good for my exercise, especially in the winter months, so it worked very well for me.
