Default Good SOIL? Good growing idea?

Alright well first off i was going to home depot or lowes today to get some soil but wanted opinion on whats the best soil to get for what im doing.

Im growing in kind of a wet area with not great soil but amazing sunlight. My plan is to bury 5 gallon buckets filled with my own soil to prevent surrounding shrubs to steal nutrients and to also prevent too much water. I plan on drilling holes in the 5 gallon buckets, and filling the bottom with rocks and also drilling (more) holes on the bottom to drain additional water. Was wondering if this has been done before/if its a good idea, and what soil to get. THANKS

I friend of mine does it to protect the root bundle from frost, I think it makes the plants smaller... but, I don't really have any comparison.

Lots of people here recommended Miracle Gro to me, so that's what I got. JUST planted them a little while ago. I'm growing in pots on my back deck so that I can protect them (plus, we've got assholes from the county who like to walk onto our land without our permission, then send us letters telling us they can't make inspections because the large aggressive dog. Just you wait you assholes, gimme a chance and the dog'll be more than just aggressive and there'll be more than just one!) and keep things private.

i disagree with miracle grow...it can stun your plants since some of the products have food in them..the best kind of soil is any of the fox farm products but idk if you can find that in your lowes or home depot..depends on your area/state..couldnt find it in myn...i just stuck with a basic soil mix...it was called sta-green soil mix. id go w/ any basic mix that is not a miracle gro product. good luck

Well crap, they had Sta-Green at Lowe's! I'm not replanting or remixing that soil, my back is SHOT at this point and Darvocet's the only thing that's going to help.

I'm also narrowing down soils to use. I know they probably don't sell fox farm around me so I'm thinking either Jungle Growth, Sta - green, or pro mix....i dunno, what do u think?

id rate them in the order youve listed them..jungle growth is very good, sta-green is also solid im not sure about the last one so i cant give advice on that one..but all three of them seem like solid choices...if you can find jungle growth for a solid price..go for it...good luck man
