Will this soil work?

[JWPcinders]

Hello! Some quick info first. I currently have some plants growing inside that will be moved outside. Here they are!



They are currently potted in pro mix and I am adding nutes every watering. My plan is to move these outside in about a month. Now I am planting them in the ground so the question came up is my dirt good enough? So the plan is I am not going to take a chance and am going to buy some organic super soil. This is the soil that I found available near me. Is it good?




Also should I dig a hole in the ground and replace all the soil with this super soil? Or should I mix the natural and the super soil together?

My suggestion : Mix with the natural soil from outside
And place into the hole
Fertilize regularly

I think that makes the most sense. Like 50/50 mix. Also what does condition soil before use mean?

I think it means loosen it up and bring to environment temp and water appropriately

Okay gotcha! The nutrients I am using right now are AN Grow Micro Bloom. I don’t think it would make sense to use these outdoors watering the ground. Do you think I should use a water soluble top dress fertilizer?

Don't know much about AN but u could use any nutes u want
It is all an experiment

Looks like potting soil, why not get larger fabric pots and set them on the ground outside?

If you're growing right in the ground I would hold off on nutes unless you start to see an issue.
If you live on old farmland, or if you've been gardening in that spot for a long time your soil may need some help, but amending it with the super soil should take care of that. I would dig it in as wide as possible to loosen up any hard packed dirt or clay, make it easier for the roots to spread out.

That's what I am using this summer. It's super soil should be water only. Read the back of the bag!
