Container growing help needed.
This is my first year doing a vegetable garden. I have no clue what I am doing, but I have spent a considerable amount of time reading up on it. The one thing I really need some help/advice on is what type of soil/dirt to use in the containers. Every website and book I read recommends something different. I've walked around Home Depot and Lowes several times looking at all the gardening soil and I don't know where to begin. I don't think I want actual gardening soil because it says it is for planting in the ground. So should I use potting soil? Should I mix in manure? I've also read that peat moss is good to add in. Any other recommendations?
TIA!

I don't always use this, bc it can get expensive and tedious, but the more stuff you put in that he has suggested, the better the environment. I planted all of my container tomatoes in this this year and they are huge already (like 4 ft tall).
Bubbles are serious stuff.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
