Hi, i have been given some soil, buts it's 100 meters away and there is no
access for a wheelborrow, or any path suitable for wheeled transport. so
far i have been using supermarket plastic bags. (my plastic buckets do not
hold much more and i have to hold them out to stop banging my legs, which
makes my arms ache more than using the plastic bags).

since i want quite a lot, any tips on the best way to transport it?

Large woven plastic sacks with HD webbing handles..preferably, long
handles so that you can carry them from one shoulder, much less strain
for your arms (and back). They are featherlight but very strong and
rot-proof. I have a couple of old ones I use in the garden which came
from some garden centre long ago;

I don't know how much weight they'd hold, but for many garden jobs I
use the big blue bags that Ikea sell, similar to the yellow ones for
use in store.
