Which is better potting soil or garden soil?

Potting mix provides better drainage than garden soil. When you place any “soil” into a confined container, it eventually compacts because it has only so far to spread, and that compaction can choke roots of oxygen and hold too much water. Potted plants need just the right balance of moist, well-draining soil.

Should I use topsoil or compost?

You get the best of both worlds with a mixture since topsoil will offer a robust home for roots with plenty of water, while compost will provide a boost of nutrients. There are, however, certain projects which will benefit more from one than the other if you can’t afford compost or you need to fill a large area.

Can you mix topsoil and garden soil?
