<human>:  I am starting an organic vegetable garden. Do I need to use special soil or can I just use the soil in my backyard.
<bot>: You can use the soil in your backyard, but you may want to consider preparing it first by adding organic materials such as compost, sphagnum peat moss, and aged manure to increase nutrient content and improve drainage. This will provide the optimal soil conditions for your organic vegetable garden.
