How do i prepare soil for container gardens?
Fill the container garden with equal parts regular garden soil (sometimes called garden loam), ground peat moss and coarse builder’s sand (available in large bags in the building supply section of most hardware stores), and mix thoroughly. If your soil is particularly alkaline or acidic, you may opt to use store-bought potting soil instead.Incorporate a slow-release fertilizer into the top several inches of soil according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
