The cheapest media I can find to fill a lot of big containers is rice hulls. But I've never used them, and don't know exactly how. I think 100% rice hulls would work with a drip irrigation system and fertilizer injector, but I have not tried it yet. But then again, just about anything works as media when used like that. The extent to which media needs moisture-retaining elements like peat depends a lot on how long you need it to go between waterings.
