The hobby of gardening is one that involves many factors, each of which goes into the success of the garden itself. As a gardener, you need to be aware of these factors, so that you can maximize the potential found in each of them. In this article, the focus will be on the soil of a garden, as this is one of the most important aspects of having a garden.

If you are going to be doing all of your gardening outside, you may be using the ground soil as your plant's source of nutrients. In this case, you will have to supplement it with fertilizer, as opposed to putting in your own soil. Some people dig holes, and then fill them with their own soil, and this is definitely a viable alternative. However, many people choose to use fertilizer because it is easier, and when you are outdoors, it achieves almost the same results as having a naturally nutricious soil.

The type of soil you use comes into play in a bigger aspect when you are doing indoor gardening. This is because you will need to buy soil from a store and put it in whatever container you are going to be growing from. It is possible to dig up ground soil and transfer it indoors, and then you would need to use fertilizer. However, since you are going to need to buy something anyway, you might as well get the good soil instead of fertilizer.

Quality soils can be found at most home-related stores, such as Home Depot. In fact, there are some sections that are dedicated entirely to soils, as there are many different kinds that special varieties of plants particularly thrive in. For this reason, there needs to be a relatively wide selection to accommodate all of this variety.
