@Londonjackbooks:. Good question [1]. Other googley versions have valley ful, valley-full, valley full or valleyfull. Gutenberg has an emdash: "… a man who had a valley—full of needles."; a neat solution, though I feel it also needs an exclamation point. So I climbed up to the mountain and heard, a suffix "forming nouns denoting the amount needed to fill the specified container, holder, etc.: bucketful | handful", and that clinched it for me.
