Default Cheap Bagged Topsoil/Fill?? UPDATE!!!!

Yeah, if I buy it in bulk from a landscaper, I can see the stuff first
before buying it, right? Because buying in bags from the store, you
really don't know what you are getting, or whats in there? The $1.49
stuff at Home Depot is usually all wet, heavy, and smelly, loaded with
debris and rocks. The "Scotts: Premium" is mostly all peat moss and
mulch, and the organic topsoil at the garden center is usually light and
fluffy even though it's in a "40 pound" bag.


Plus, I can probably only get 5 bags at a time in the car, so yes, that
is ALOT of trips to the store in the family car!!! I will have to call
around some landscapers and get some prices of having a truck load of
soil delivered.


Thanks!


Most home centers rent trucks by the hour. Home Depot is $19 for the first
75 minutes near me.
