Potting Soil
● Always use new, good quality potting soil
● Don't use "dirt" from your garden
● Don't recycle○ Diseases○ Low fertility
● We like G&B Potting Soil, Green All, Ocean’s Forest, Sunland, Happy Frog
● Don’t add compost or manures
![Page 32: Container Vegetable Gardening Love ...€¦ · Tomato Container Recipe (in 15/20 gallon pot) 1 cup G&B fish meal (unless you have naughty dogs) 1 cups G&B Tomato,Vegetable, & Herb](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052001/6014120ca2c42d6a1f79a936/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Be Wary of Other Products that Look Like Potting Soil
You do not want these in your pots:
● Compost● Top Soil Blend● Whole Bagged Manures (like a bag of Steer Manure)● Soil Building “whatevers”
These are not suitable for growing veggies in containers. Just because something looks like soil does not make it soil, nor does it make it the right thing to use in a pot.

Recycle Old Potting Soil● Use as carbon source in compost
pile● Add to beds that have sunk/settled
when amending in between plantings
● Add to lawns to level out low spots● Or cover crop them in winter to
regenerate the old, spent soil
