HOW TO PREPARE THE PLANT MEDIUM
The next thing you will think about is a medium in
which your plants can grow. This may be a compost of your
own making, or soil. Composting won't be described here,
but it is basically a process of decomposing vegetable
matter (such as peelings, tops, etc.) in such a manner as
to make a humus. If you do use composted material, you
should also add washed sand for drainage.
Sterlilized soil can be used as a medium for
plants. Here's an easy way to sterilize soil: Put moist
(not wet) soil in a pan of appropriate size, and with it,
put a potato wrapped in aluminum foil, for baking. Cover
the whole thing with aluminium foil, and bake in an oven
until the potato is done enough to eat. The soil will then
be properly sterilized for the planters.
