Wow..thank you for all that good information on the soil/compost/mulch/dirt!! It's such good information. So the soil I used was organic on sale stuff at Lowes. The bag said it was for vegetables. It does look very mulchy in the picture and it is kind of chunky but not totally mulchy. And you're totally right..I was all set paying an arm and a leg for soil!! That container is pretty big though..maybe I should take better pictures My husband says I should "plow them over and be done with it" I like the idea of putting them in different containers with a better medium. I'll probably end up using the current medium for some new flowers. Unfortunately, I live in a condo with gardening rules so I have no place to make compost and I basically have to plant everything in containers..I'll probably end up buying something like a bag of MiracleGro or something. Someday in my dreams when I live on a farm with horses I'll make my own compost and have a big, huge, lovely, garden! Fortunately..I do have cucumbers, green beans, basil and tomatoes growing in other pots and they're doing great! Guess what those were planted in? Soil from my mother in law's age old garden!
