GTOTM (Garden Tip Of The Month) - Potting Soil

I have found that it is best to get a good grade of potting soil.  A good grade will give your potted plants a jump start and make them look great.  A good grade will be pourous - absorbing water but letting excess water filter through.

I usually select one that has slow release ferterlizer that will feed the potted plants for up to 4 - 6 months.  All the plants that I don't sell at the market are not store in pots over the winter (they get planted back in the ground)  so 4 - 6 months is a good time frame.

I always buy the 2 -3 cubic feet bags - you get the best price.
