Container Gardening

I talked to my dad today about my gardening woes--how, in short, basil is the only thing I've successfully grown out of the many different plants I've tried. He says that he thinks its difficult to grow plants in containers because it's hard to get the soil mix right. He is having trouble growing plants because the neighbors' trees create a lot of shade and his plants can't get enough sunlight anymore. My dad is a longtime home gardener and while it's never something I was particularly interested in growing up (I didn't like vegetables until I was 18, which had a lot to do with my lack of interest I'm sure) but it seems like my genetic destiny has caught up with me.
