how much is "not cheap?" a yard? I went with some local stuff, took 8 yards for my season this year (300 bucks delivered) 6 yards soil, and 2 yards Compost. planning on gravel floors next year, with 300g pots or raised beds. planning on cover cropping this years soil for green manure, and picking up another 10 yards at the end of season, and then adding in 8 months of chicken shit, and rabbit shit, duck shit, and goose shit from my animals. have quite a few, so will make copious amounts. So much to do for next season, just awesome being on the land to actually do it on the off season, and really get all ducks in a row.
