How to choose soil and grow media
The right medium depends on what you are growing and how you water. Ready-to-use potting soils are blended for containers and are the easy choice for pots, raised beds and seed starting. Some, like FoxFarm Ocean Forest and Happy Frog, come pre-amended with nutrients, while soilless mixes such as Pro-Mix HP are built for drainage and air space and pair with a regular feeding program.
- Containers need a lighter, well-draining mix, while garden beds benefit from compost or manure worked in.
- Coco-based and peat-based mixes hold water differently, so match your watering habits to the mix.
- Perlite and pumice add aeration, while compost and worm castings add organic matter.
