"Tell us what you are planting, whether it will grow in a container or garden bed, and what you know about drainage and existing soil. Our staff can help you compare labeled options."
Choosing Soil for Containers & Garden Beds
- Containers: Choose a potting mix intended for containers and the plant's drainage needs. Indoor plants do not all need the same mix.
- Garden beds: Check whether a product is intended for in-ground planting. Existing soil conditions vary between Santa Barbara gardens.
- Amendments: Mix only as directed for your existing soil. An amendment is not automatically a complete growing medium.
- Compost and conditioners: These can modify soil properties where appropriate; follow package directions rather than using a universal recipe.

Choosing Fertilizer for Your Plants
- General or plant-specific: Compare nutrient analysis and labeled uses for vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, and other plants.
- Organic and conventional: Consider the exact product's ingredients and directions. An organic claim or certification must come from its labeling, not a brand-wide assumption.
- Rates and timing: Follow the individual label for application, dilution, timing, and precautions. Avoid extra fertilizer or a universal feeding schedule.
- Ask before choosing: Describe the plant and growing conditions. Ask a Pro for product-selection help, not a guaranteed diagnosis.
