It is possible to use dirt, but not recommended. Sand is preferably used because when you land on it there is a lot of "give" to it to help absorb shock so it is better on your joints. It is less likely to pack down like dirt would do, which causes a harder surface. It would not be good for your knees.

Look in the yellow pages for Sand and Gravel and ask for washed sand. You can buy it by the cubic yard.
