Is it okay to use gardening soil for container gardening?

Hey there, so I went to ACE hardware today, and bought some containers for my vegetables, I did what hte lady reccomended and bought 4 bags of Miracle gro vegetable and plant soil, so I have it out in my garage, but upon further reading it, I noticed it said not to be used in containers!! Will it be okay if I do use it in there?

Container gardening with vegetables?

I’d like to grow cherry tomatoes, lettuce, pea pods, green beans, and herbs. Can you grow those types of things in window boxes…or are those too shallow?

Which flowers are best for container gardening?

I am looking for plants/flowers that are perennial and have a lovely fragrance/colour. Something hardy that has a decent length of flower (not april to may for example, more like april to september) Some colour combinations would be great as i really want to make the bed stand out with colour. Also, they will be in the sun for most of the day

Mulch in container gardening?

I am planing a deck garden and just wanted to know if after I plant my seeds is it a good idea to put a layer of mulch to help retain moister. Will the plants break threw and will it be to acidic for seedlings?
