Where to buy budget soil in bags

[kipdrordy21]

I'm planning on growing monster plants from seed in smart pots ranging from 30-60 gal. I'm gonna buy some 707 bags to mix in the pots but I need some more economical soil to fill the rest. Also it has to be sold in bags since I only have an SUV to transport and I have to carry it into spot. Where can I buy cheap soil that works ok?

I like the Kellogg "raised bed soil/potting mix" from home depot 3 cubic feet for $9.99 (100% organic)

Thanks for the info shynee. Approximately how big of a pot can you top off with one of those bags?

People seem to have success with MG Organic Choice (I know, I know, it's a MG product, but their specific Organic Choice has a decent reputation).
Just in case you want a plan B choice or something. :3

How much does this stuff cost?

Not sure on that, but it's pretty common retail so I don't imagine it's too outrageous.

as far as a cheap, descent, commercial bagged soil, scotts hyponex, aint too bad(although has time release ferts in it) 9 bucks 2 cu. ft. If u can get it, go with the kellogs, I don't believe we carry that here on the east coast though

Good info guys. Looks like I'll be taking a look at what home depot has to offer. Too bad no Wal-mart in my area. Also going to mix some of last years 707 in with the new stuff. I've re-used a mixture of old soil with new last year and it worked great.

I like Peat Moss .... I bought a 3 cubic feet bag of it for 12 bux at home depot.. Works great with perlite and worm castings... In your case if you want something to add to your soil and save money with quality I'll go with peat moss big bag and great medium...

Kellogg Patio Plus is cheap and effective. It also has good drainage.
