Candace asked:


I’m really interested in growing organic vegetables and herbs but im not really sure where to start. I don’t want to plant in the ground of my backyard, I’d rather have a large rectangular type holder above ground. The only thing is is that I don’t really know if the potting soil you buy at the store is truly organic. Also, I am unsure of where i can buy quality seeds. Its not practical for me to buy them online. I’m looking to plant a variety of vegetables and herbs.
I live in northcarolina and the soil I have in my backyard is sandy clay loam.
I forgot to mention i have 4 dogs… if that make any difference.

Hello. This is actually a big question that would take hours (if not days) to answer properly. So I’m just going to direct you to some links that I think will be helpful. With a bit of reading you can be ready by spring. So long as the potting soil you choose has no chemical fertilizers added you should be ok. Most places have a local nursery or green house that sells vegetable seeds and plants. Most large retail stores, like Walmart or k-Mart, also offer seeds and plants in the spring. As far as your dogs, you’ll probably have to fence or find some other way to keep them out. Good luck and happy gardening!
