Came out pretty good and proud as a first timer beginner gardener and working with what I got.

PS: I do need some soil mixture recommendations PLEASE, with quantities and measurements if you know them off the top of your head.

Your plants look lovely!

Thanks you, it’s a day at a time. I wish I added more soil to some parts it’s too late now

I go 1/4 all purpose sand, 1/4 happy frog or mychorizae (spelling police correct for me) 1:4 natural soil and 1/4 compost.

That’s given me some pretty amazing results. Also once you build this way the soil will be useable for awhile. Bacteria will take care of that.

Pile the soil on!! At Cornell they had mounds of dirt under every plant about 2-4 feet deep of added dirt in some spots.
