Kim Gamel added this to Container Gardening Basics: The Dirt on Soil
Properties of Good Potting SoilA good potting soil will be porous to allow for proper drainage and root growth, while containing ingredients that will retain moisture and hold nutrients that would otherwise drain out.Often, the term “soil” is a misnomer, as most commercially available potting mediums don’t contain actual soil, since it's difficult to obtain mass quantities of quality soil that is free of toxins, weeds and diseases. You want to make sure you purchase potting soil for container gardens, as opposed to garden soil, which compacts too easily, preventing a healthy flow of air and water around your plants' root systems.
