planting vegis in planters with soil or mix


Question
we are in the military so we can get up and move at anytime.?last year i planted veggies' in potters and can not remember if i used soil or mix.?but i just noticed that the soil bag says do not put in containers.?but i know that it is better for the veggies'.?So my question is which do i use?

Answer
Hi Vanessa, Any well drained soil/container mix should do fine.  The key to growing good container veggies is fertilizer.  Everytime you water, you flush nutrients out the bottom, so fertilize often. I use a lightweight container mix with a water holding polymer added.  Jim
