    One of the best ways to achieve good soil is through the addition of organic matter, such as compost. A good medium for container-grown plants would be a medium to lightweight potting soil mix (generally, well-draining potting soil mixed with compost).

    This is dependent on what was burned (i.e. chemicals, etc.) and for how long. If it's been some time (a year or better) since anything was burned in the area, then it should be ok to grow there. I would suggest tilling the area and perhaps adding in some compost to increase its fertility.

    Any organic material you can add to your soil will help. There is no one right order to add things. You just need to continue to add organic material (bagged organic soil or compost or other materials) to help make the soil loamy.
