What soil brands should we choose instead of Scotts Miracle-Gro (Monsanto)

As the spring planting season begins soon, it is best to support a local soil yard and farmers who sell composted maneure.

What are our Canadian options for store-bought bags of soil when we're in a pinch?

I use Promix, but she also suggests the Sunshine growing mixes.
- I’d love to get the Sunshine mix but I’ve never seen it in any stores! Maybe it’s only a Western Canada thing.
  
  I'm not sure. I've seen it at Canadian Tire when they have their garden centre open.
See if your municipality has a compost program.
- Yes. There's a local compost site in my city where lawn clippings, leaves etc. are brought. Dirt is free to take for residents.
Non-branded bags of soil from any local garden center.
