I used garden and top soil for my totes, which is where my most sucess was. I'll have to see if we have any garden places still openThink about testing the soil for "the big 3," Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K). People think about the N, which is important for the green stuff (leaves), but the plants need the other two for flowers and fruit.
You can buy test kits at a garden center and do this yourself.
