Depends on if you're starting inside until veg or sprout it's getting late to germinate and plant sprouts. Or if you are using buckets or in the soil. Otherwise the outdoor soil should suffice. What kind of flora are in the perspective area? Is the soil dense or wet? How's the natural water supply?
Mostly you can use whatever is in your starter pot with the plants, just stir up about 2 feet of the outdoor soil and drop it in.
Using 5 gallon buckets, for a pot grow, you can mix reg. 1 part potting soil/ 1 part perlite/ and 1 part growing soil. Avoid soil that uses time release nutrients, this can fuck up the nute balance.
I recommend just putting the plants directly in the soil for bigger growth. It's said that 1 gallon=1 foot growth, 5 gallon bucket=5 foot growth.
