You don't want to use garden dirt in pots indoors, Kevin. First, you will bring bugs and other creepy-crawlies like slug and snail eggs in with it. Second, it doesn't ever have enough organic material in it to keep your plants from starving. It will compact, dry out like a brick and your plants will suffer, then die.
Go to a local nursery and buy some good quality potting compost from someone who knows something about gardening. Trust me, you'll be very glad you did, even if it costs a bit more.
