Usually when I prepare a new place outdoors I remove all of the existing soil and replace it with my own but that just depends on how much stuff you want to haul to your plot.

What I would do is dig a hole and get rid of all that came out of the hole.
Find a good soil mix from that thread and put that in the hole.

If you use buckets make sure you drill plenty of drainage holes.

The containers for me help me water less
