Hi, everybody! I'm headed out to buy some soil for a new plot I just dug up in my yard. The soil that is there is awful stuff and I dug down pretty deep to get rid of the grass, strange mesh plastic stuff, and pulled out some rose bushes for transplant to another area of the yard. I don't have enough compost to fill the spot (need about 2 cubic yards). What do you guys recommend? There is a great soil farm here but I'm not sure what to get.

My native soil is heavy and full of clay (there are real-live adobe houses in my neighborhood - ie, made from the dirt in the ground - that are still standing after 100+ years!). Thoughts? Recommendations?
