Seriously! We just had to buy enough for our garden boxes (built our house last year, so there isn't much to work with...) my husband was like, oh, we can go dig up some from the back of my FIL's field, right? By hand? And then he asked why I was laughing so hard.
8 cubic meters of soil is not just being taken out of the field by hand in one weekend. That's not a workout, it's suicide. (Plus, the cost of gas for the old pickup works out to 50$ more than buying it and paying for delivery, with the number of trips it'd take!!)
Go, jda85! It's a big job!
