Hello! I'm totally new at this and I might need things spelled out :/ I'm planting my first vegetable garden on my balcony and I have TONS of seeds, I mean everything from Basil to Watermelons (I'm still not sure if I will be planting those :X). I got these Baker Heirloom seeds as a birthday present last December so I have nothing to lose but so much to gain! I've already figured out what, when and where everything will be planted. I will be maximizing space by planting vertically, using railings, blah blah blah. But can some one please guide me on soil? What is the perfect mixture? If I have added compost to the soil prior, will I need to purchase fertilizer? Also, keep in mind that I will be doing raised beds so I'm not sure if the soil mix has to be adjusted for that...
I will be grateful for any feedback!
