I just put the spoges in a preform Styrofoam cell pach and dropped the seed in each one. I put seed starting fertilizer on to keep moist while on a heating mat and covered them until the started growing. You could use any good potting soil and put the sponges into the dirt.

In my opinion removing dirt from the high side and then leveling with sand is the best way. If you add sand on existing ground that has fresh dirt or sand on top, rain could wash away. I think it best to have the side that is high now dug down to a little below ground level.

You could use it for either one. If for soil you'd primarily use it as a foliar spray.

Use 20% Compost, 10% Spaghum Peat Moss, and 70% Soil, I hate to advertise it, but Miracle grow, makes a very good soil, and more importantly weed free.

We also have heavy clay in Northern Virginia, but we have amended it heavily by rototilling in leaf mulch, wood chips, and especially gypsum, which breaks the chemical bonds of clay and makes it crumbly. Over the years we have created deep, fertile top soil. This is the best probe for pushing deep into soil but will only penetrate moist clay. Good luck.

I have planted a variety of things and everything did well especially the tomatoes. The key is to load it up with good soil.

I tried everything to use this how it was intended, didn't work well. I ended up using soil, it worked much better.

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.

Premium garden mix from a nursery or home center. The soil should be loamy and drain well. Regular "dirt" would compact over the growing season. Plan on spending about $15.

For hard clay, I'd say no. I live where we have a good mixture of soil and in my gardens there is a thick layer of black topsoil. This works well on the soil when it's moist. If I neglect it a while and it dries, the B&D; struggles.

I use organic fertilizers, like hydrolyzed fish from Neptunes Harvest, but I have used Miracle grow as well. It does a very nice job.

Yes. I used it in Super Soil, and it works great if you add a little more than recommended. Hope this helps!

Not necessasarily you need to look online and ask a nursery a garden shop call them for best mix I have Peat moss:perlite and try to grow vegetables and insect eating plants the mix is different per type of plant I think you may have to add 4 soil count to 1 or 1:1 depending on your location

Soil composition moisture content, and your level of persistance will determine the ultimate answer. I have used mine for small flower beds, but would want a larger machine for a main vegitable garden. With all fairness, our area has only about one inch of top soil, with the rest being hard pan clay! Hope this helps.This is basically a very good cultivator rather than a main tiller.

Any good soilless mix should be fine. Grow, Micro, Bloom are used together. The ratios change with your grow cycle. Good products.

They recommend you layer with newspaper before adding soil,it worked well for me. I planted some bell peppers, det. tomatoes, basil, and parsley. I have other raised beds and this by far was the easiest to put together.

Hi there. It depends on what you are planting it in. For a container, use Potting Mix. For in ground, use Garden Soil. I would recommend using a Miracle-Gro Moisture Control soil (potting or garden soil) because the trees are thirsty and soak up the water like crazy. A Moisture Control soil will help retain the moisture longer in between waterings. If you want to be really fancy, there is a Miracle-Gro Soil for Palm, Cactus, and Citrus that has some of the special nutrients to help fruit trees grow. I just used a regular Moisture Control Potting Mix for my container plant.
