USE GOOD QUALITY TOP SOIL
Good soil mixes are available in nurseries and garden centers and is commonly known as potting soil.
Good types of topsoil are those with a loamy texture having a mixture of between 7% to 27% clay, 28% to 50% silt and under 52 % sand. These topsoils tend to have a low water-retention capacity and are easy to till.

CHOOSE PROPAGATION METHOD
Occasionally, plants do not produce viable seeds, or the seeds
consistently germinate poorly, for example, rosemary.
Some plants do not develop the desired characteristics when grown from seed. For example, mint does not have a strong flavour when they are grown from seeds. These plants can be grown from stem cutting, root division, runner or crown division.

Every plant is an individual with its own specific requirements.
