Do you know the difference between the two? Plus there are other kinds of "soil" & "dirt" out there as well so it can get quite confusing. Which ones do you use?

Potting soil is the best than Garden soil because it has fertilizer so plants had a good growth with them. I use most time to plant directly in soil , but the groth of the plant is slow most time.

The key difference is that soil is a living ecosystem with structure and nutrients, while dirt is displaced, dead soil (like construction fill). For gardening, I use and amend topsoil and compost to build healthy, living soil.

Garden soil is a normal soil which might lack nutrients, or might not have a proper balance of NPK. Potting soil is made by adding nutrients so that it is easier to grow healthy soil. When you use potting soil, you will not have to add fertilizer much but garden soil needs a lot o fertilizer
