Thank you for this post! I've been wanting to make a garden, and after seeing this, I am going to go with containers, as the soil on my property isn't exactly fertile. If you don't mind my asking, what do you use as the soil in the containers, and what are the nutrients and minerals that you add to it? That's been holding me back a bit, as I don't want to get something that may be toxic, to grow food items in.
