Got Dirt?

The most important thing you can do for your plants 

above all else, use good soil, container garden tips

Use Good Soil

It’s all your plants have to eat.  Your plants are not in the ground so their roots can’t go out and get what they need. They can only depend on what you give them. Right? So do not forget about that.

Do NOT use garden soil. It’s too heavy. Sorry, you can’t go out and get a shovel full of dirt.  Also, don’t go over to the Dollar Store because they’re having a big sale; their soil may not best. It’s a great place for greeting cards and wrapping paper

Always, always use really high-quality good soil.

People ask me what I use. Well, it’s really a matter of convenience for me. I may use Farfard, Miracle-Gro, or some others. For me, it’s whatever I’m going by that they have. I know we’re all busy, so sometimes you can even buy soil that already has the fertilizer included in the mix.  This keeps it easy on yourself. These prepared soils have a slow released fertilizer.
