Gardening Soil – which one to use?
"I am from Los Angeles, CA. I’ve been trying to start a small garden on my upstairs balcony, but it’s not coming along so well 
I think the frost wasn’t over yet…. Anyway, i know that the frost is over now, but still, my plants are dying.
is there any specific type of soil that I’m supposed to use? I’ve been using this bagged fertilizer type of soil, but it’s apparently not fertilizing anything….
"
Soil is not as important as the amendments in the soil, like fertilizers. Miracle Grow is soil that is full of chemicals…all which last but three months. You would need to supplement the soil afterwards. Some people swear by that stuff. But over-fertilizing plants can be just as deadly.
But in your case it may have been the weather. I, too, recommend you keep the little guys covered with a clear plastic tarp. Make sure the plastic doesn’t touch the plants as the cold can spread that way.
Also make sure your soil is free from grubs that may be eating the young roots of the seedlings.
Also, don’t ignore the cool winds that may keep the seedlings from sprouting…
All plants thrive in a constant environment of warmth and water. If they get plenty of sun and moisture, they will grow. If they lack either they become dormant and may die.
