Why do plants grow better in dirt?

Potting soil or mix is usually better as garden soil tends to bake hard in a pot, or not hold enough nutrients for the plant. Drainage can be a problem. Certain plants need special types of mix, such as orchids and African Violets. Be careful just growing plants in potting soil. Potting soil drains badly and even in direct sunlight. Not all are this way but some are. The best thing for potted plants is to experiment and mix topsoil and potting soil till you get the best drainage for the particular plant you are working with. For plants that like more moist soil, euse more potting soil, for less, more topsoil. A friend asked me to look at some of his plants and asked why they were dying. They were outside in pots and in 100% potting soil. The roots on the plants were rotting because of the water was not draining because of the density of the soil when saturated. We added about 30-40% sand to the mix and it did the trick. Not all potting soils are made the same though. Just remember what a plant needs. Sunlight, nutrients and water. The soil mix can change but the basics remain the same.

What are the differences between beans grown in compost or dirt or potting soil?

Nutrients constitute the difference between growing beans in compost, dirt or potting soil. A one-inch (2.54-centimeter) layer of dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter called compost or humus can be mixed into the planting location and potting soil to provide proper drainage, infiltration, moisture, nutrients and percolation for growing beans. Dirt lacks macro- and micro-nutrients even though it is possible for edible, ornamental, and wildflowering plants to grow in such deprived environments.
