eventually all those great nutrients in that soil will be used up so you're probably going to want to feed it something for good results. If you don't want to spend money on fertilizers you can just make compost tea from that soil by the pig pen which is a pretty simple process. Literally just added some of that soil to a bucket, fill it with water, and mix it every day for about a week. Strain the remaining liquid out and then dilute it with more water, about 10:1. There you have some organic nutrients to feed your plant.

For example if you get a gallon of liquid from the mixture after straining it (separating the liquid from the dirt), you would add 10 gallons of water to that 1 gallon so it's not too strong for your plants. It doesnt have to be so exact you could just eyeball it and add enough water so that it looks like a pale yellow but that 10 parts for every 1 part is a good guideline.

Hope that helps clear things up.
