Best Soil for Container Gardening

One of the benefits of container gardening is you have full control over your soil’s environment. You can buy soil cultivated for container gardening and be ready to grow straight out of the bag. You can also amend your container soil to create the ideal growing environment for any plant at any stage of the plant’s growing cycle.

Learn how combining various organic materials can help your container garden thrive this season.

In this video Bridget Ayers, a backyard gardener in Southern California – Zone 10b, shows us how she layers different organic soils, fertilizers, and amendments as part of her container garden planning process to start her seeds.
