Which organic potting soil do you use? I see so many brands and I'm confused which one to get.

I just buy generic topsoil or peatmoss. Read the bag though make sure its all natural.

Would this be okay?

Should be fine

Top soil in Florida is like 90% sand and is not a good choice. I use potting soil and compost.
I have been told that in other areas of the country that top soil is actually fine to use and very inexpensive.

When I say top soil I mean the bagged kind not your area's natural topsoil

There you go.
Most of south Florida was under water until about 50 years ago. My yard is mostly broken cement, coral rocks and sea shells.
