You were asking about mixing 2000 liters of potting soil which is about (more or less) 3 c.y. (i.e. 80 c.f. of potting soil).
A 3 c.y. mixer is the 'norm' here in the valley and is the size used by the 'wannabe' potting soil products, i.e. Botanicare, Roots Organics, et al. The mixing companies that I use all pretty much use this class of mixers.
The charge is between $.65 - $.80 per bag and that price is standard without regard to the packing size, i.e. 1 c.f., 1.5 c.f. and 2.0 c.f. - it doesn't matter. That price includes stacking of the bags on a pallet and then shrink-wrapped. The minimum charge is for 1000 lbs. (i.e. 1/2 of a US ton) meaning that if you want 200 lbs. mixed you have to pay for 1000 lbs.
