garden soil
actually get Garden soiL. During the fall and winter I add all my egg shells and fresh veggie scraps to the soil. Makes for great fertilizer
A good mix of soil, compost, organic materials like leaves, grass clippings, etc make a great planting soil. Mix everything together well and add things like eggshells, coffee grounds, etc to continue to nourish the soil over time.
I thought maybe mixing soil with compost.
Definitely Miracle Gro. Gives you everything you need to grow great fruits and veggies.
