My husband just got a 36 cubic foot raised garden bed for his birthday, and we're pretty excited to start growing veggies and herbs. However, we've been checking prices at places like Home Depot and Lowe's, and it's turning out to be way more expensive than we expected. I'm looking for some budget-friendly suggestions on where to find soil or any other cost-effective options. Any tips?

You might want to consider calling a landscaping company. They can deliver bulk soil right to your driveway, and you can buy it by the cubic yard. Usually, they have a minimum order of just a couple of yards. From my experience, it shouldn’t cost more than about $100 Canadian.
Totally agree! In my area, it's better to go for bulk soil. It's around $65 to $125 American per yard, but you're getting a garden mix that's ready to use. Saves you a lot of hassle.
