Michigan Outdoor Organic Soil Setup

im looking for the best way to situate the soil in my garden this coming spring...grow bags...huge pots...put potting mix just straight into the soil?
i have no idea how i should do this organic wise?
any tips tricks?
thanks

dig a 4 feet down by 4 feet wide and fill back in with better soil, where I'm at the soil is pretty acidic so I will be mixing in some wood ash and lime for ph buffering. The soil is also sandy and has a lot of clay so I also need to mix in some perlite and vermiculite other than that I plan on using a mixture of topsoil, peat, and decomposed wood. I have not grown outside yet but what you use will depend on your soil composition and water requirements. other than that start a compost pile if you don't already have one. compost banana peels, vegetable scraps, apple cores, potato peels, vegetable matter only never meats or proteins, throw in some worms to speed things up and if your like me and you fish you wont have to buy worms anymore

thanks man that sounds like a great plan and sounds like it would allow for maximum root expansion.

Click to expand...

if you want to go smaller that's fine also you'll just get a smaller plant 4'x4' is a pretty big hole to fill

i dont mind putting in the work in to get some bigger plants..ill go with the big holes
