i want to grow veg and salad in container whats the best soil or compost or a mixture of both to grow in - what about grow bags?

You should be able to get veg planters from your local garden centre. Veg planters are basically oversized growbags and do the job very well.

What I tend to do where tubs etc are concerned is use soil compost and sharp sand. This stops it sticking and also drying out too quick.
