How so much solar does the spot get? You desire to plant matters that like solar if it will get five hours or extra. If it will get not up to three or four, then you definitely desire plant that select colour. I might use potting soil. If you prefer, you'll be able to combine just a little (not more than 25% via quantity) of completed selfmade compost into the soil whilst you pot up your vegetation. As for the plant - pass to a nursery or lawn middle, and inform them what your stipulations are, and that you just desire some thing that remains quick (underneath 2 ft). They'll be ready to exhibit you a wide variety of vegetation.
