What can I plant grass in?

I bought the (organic plus or premium potting mix) and it got a crust on top, why?
A: That's the bark base at work. The barks job on a tree is to keep wood moisture in and outside moisture out. A good soaking or a light raking before watering is all that’s needed to break it up again. Putting a mulch over the top if you have used it in containers or beds will help to retain moisture better and keep the crust from forming. For best results, do not let the soil dry out completely, but keep it moist.
