Has anyone priced out who has the cheapest top soil? I built some planters I need to fill with ~24 cu ft of dirt. I don't have a truck, so if somewhere has decent delivery prices I'll go that route, otherwise I'll borrow a truck and will need a place that gives it to you in those giant bags.

You would be better off borrowing some moving bins from work, going to Burnco and shoveling it in yourself. I own a truck but have done that in my car before.

100 kg of premium "garden mix" soil is going to set you back about $5.

Moving bins, that is a smart idea! Since summer is running out on me, I went with these guys. Coming tomorrow. http://igravel.net/products/23-scree...soil-loam.aspx

I just ordered 3 cubic yards of planting soil from Eagle Lake Turf. It was about $150
delivered in a big yellow bag. You can bring the bag back for a $5 credit.

Not as cheap as other options but I don't own a truck, and my car is a Civic.
