Your outdoors...you don't need much but a simple addition to your backyard soil (in most cases). For profesional results you should get your soil tested. Most area's have a university nearby that'll test it for free and doing it once is usually enough for a lifetime as long as good farming practices are used, but if nothing else, be sure to check your PH, both soil and tap water (although tap water in an outdoor grow isn't near so critical it's still a good thing to know). Any garden/nursery worth using carries the simple test kits and anyone who can read can do it. Once done with that I mix in quality potting soil into a hole and replace with original soil mixing them pretty much equally (also a good place to use the soil from an indoor grow that's finished). Be sure your hole has good drainage and area is secure from marauders. I use the same ferts I used in the indoor but at a little higher ratio and set up the sprinkler on a timer...then kick back and watch the grass grow!
