My first step is to buy soil. These being large planters I figured I would
buy garden soil. But the bags clearly state for in-ground use. That leaves
potting soil!?
I'm hoping to plant native perennials. Would they like potting soil?
Assuming you'll be placing clay planters in those wooden boxes potting
soil should be quite adaquate. I would definately not be placing any
kind of planting medium directly into those wooden boxes
or they'd rot within the year.
What sort of planters do they have at your HUD apartment, Sheldumb?
