Where is the best place to grow vegetables?
A. Any place that gets six to eight hours of sun a day and where you can get an eight- to ten-inch depth of soil together—wooden boxes, wastepaper baskets, tubs, cement blocks, wooden frames, on a roof, driveway, or walk. Q. What kind of dirt do you need for a good garden? A. To begin with, the word is soil, not dirt. Soil is a productive composition of decayed materials such as leaves, grass clippings, sawdust, weeds, and fallen trees, while dirt is a collection of filth. Any well-drained soil will do nicely. While water should not stand in pockets on top neither should the soil be pure sand, which will not hold any moisture at all.
