Well, in that case what is a good way to make the soil o dirt more agreeable to my plants needs? Do I have to buy potting soil, or would there be a way to make the untouched ground good enough to expect a decent grow in?

I'm new to growing so I don't know much, and I can't find an outdoor growing guide that really shows me what I need to do.

And thanks for the help.
SyaNidal Reviewed by SyaNidal on . Soil Required? When growing outdoors, is using soil a must, or can someone just use the dirt that is naturally out in someones backyard, or woods, etc. I planted 6 seeds earlier today, but I didn't use special soil or fertilizer, I wanted to attempt to get some plants growing from the edge of the woods next to our house, will it even work or did I waste 6 seeds.
