It is found in the ground and can be mixed with other ingredients to promote healthy plant growth. Common mixtures to topsoil include manure and compost.Also, what is the difference between garden soil and potting mix? Garden soils consist of naturally occurring soils found in gardens and flower beds while potting soils are formulated for containers. In varying amounts, garden soils contain sand, silt, loam, rocks and other minerals while potting soil contains natural rocks, moss, composite and plant matter. Then, is garden soil good for pots? Garden soil tends to be denser than potting soil, so it doesn’t drain well, and it requires aeration from worms or grubs. While it’s not a good idea to use only garden soil in your containers, you can add a small amount to other components in your container to help the mixture retain moisture and nutrients.Why can’t you use Miracle Gro garden soil in containers?Soil taken from your yard or a garden bed is too dense to use in a pot or raised bed.
