Hi! I’m new to gardening outdoor plants. What kind of soil is best for herbs and vegetables that are in a balcony? I planted basil thyme rosemary butterhead lettuce and kale earlier this season but I think is not draining properly even tho I made a lot of holes to the planter box. I think is the soil but I’m not sure which soil should I use. Any info welcomed!!
I use organic potting mix for herbs and grading with perlite.

I prefer a chunky mix that has some mulch in it and they seem to be very happy. You’ll just have to fertilize as needed tho
