According to your dimensions the bed needs between 2 and 7 cubic yards of
soil. Firstly measure it accurately so you know which it is and then
abandon the idea of bags. How were you going to transport these 50 (or
more) bags, 5 at a time in the boot of the car?

Save yourself a lot of wasted effort (and possibly money too) and get it
delivered in bulk. Depending on access you may be able to get it dumped
straight into the bed. Any good bulk landscaping supply will give you a
quote including delivery and be happy for you to choose which heap it comes
from. For good quality soil it is likely to be cheaper this way.

Call a landscaping business. Tell them how much top soil you need. They
will deliver it in a truck, and dump it in the trench, or where it is
accessible for them. Topsoil in bulk, will be cheaper than topsoil in a
bag.
