Thanks again for all the replies. I really appreciate how the good folks on this site are so willing to passionately share their experiences and advice. It really is an awesome resource, and I benefit greatly every time I post.
I installed a retaining wall along the low side over the weekend, and moved in about 25 buckets of dirt. I have about 100 tons (~75 cu yds) of AB3 being delivered tomorrow. I talked to a buddy of mine who owns a skid steer, and he offered to come over next week and help me finish the project. We are going to fill about half way with dirt, level, water down, and compact with the skid steer, cover with a vapor barrier, and then top with AB3. Then we'll add water and compact again, and hope for the best.
I will share the pictures and the story when the project is complete. I definitely learned a tough lesson here.
