The Garden of Eden

Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
Genesis 2:8

I'm inviting speculation or theology.

What did the soil in the garden consist of?

It's a genuine question for any Christian interested.

Considering that death had not yet entered and that soil is fundamentally decomposing dead stuff mixed in with minerals, water and a few microbes; where did the dead stuff and microbes come from?

Are you saying that the creation of fertile soil is beyond Gods ability and that God needs to wait until there is enough dead stuff in order to plant a garden?

My guess is that it must have consisted of all the minerals and nutrients that are needed for plant growth plus Miracle-Gro.

No, I'm asking what anyone interested speculates that the soil consisted of.

You think it consisted of "created" dead matter and created microbes?

How old was the garden of Eden? How long had plants been dying as well as all the animals, insects, birds etc that lived there?
No doubt from the time God created them.

A more interesting question is what was going on in Adams brain? When did he learn to speak? Did he have memories of a time before he was created?
