We did it!! We did it!! We purchased all four of these items, mixed them together, placed moist soil in containers, and planted some seeds in this homemade fertilizer. It has been a week, and some of the seeds have sprouted. We are waiting for them to get a certain size before transplanting them into the ground or larger containers. We just wanted to say....thank you and God bless you!!
Good luck,I started my very first container garden 17 days ago,20 (5) gallon buckets of various vegetables,it's really an interesting hobby... New Jersey....
I wish I had that bin for mixing up big batches like that. The zone I'm in I have to start my plants all indoors under lights then transfer them outside in the summer. So, I'm doing what you are, just inside my house during the winter, but in smaller batches. Peat moss is acidic too, so having some lime in your mix wouldn't be a bad idea either, depending on what you are growing of course.
Great video! This is what I use in my own soil. I prefer to make my own as well, not only is it more affordable, but you know whats going into it. You know what your getting. Thanks for the great content!
All Praises to The Most High!! This video was right on time! I’m currently using Harvest Organic soil and my plants have only been growing 2-3 inches or have stunt their growth and some just died off I spent $150 for 17 bags wasted money! Thank you my brother this was very edifying! God bless you
I am curious how are you doing in your new home? I believe by now you and your family have settled quite nicely in your new home I am just anxious to see what you have planted so far. Much success in your new property and in your gardening. 🙏🙏💐☮️
Right on time. We'll be planting our melons soon too. Peet moss has been hard to find, so I appreciate this knowledge you just dropped young brother! Shalom(peace)
Many soil recipes have you add some lime to raise the PH and add calcium, especially if you are using lots of peat moss in the recipe. Peat moss is acidic, so you;d need a small bit of lime. At least according to many people that make homemade soil recipes.
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. I hope you keep making them. I'm going to get started on my garden.
I just recently started watching your videos and I love them. Last year I had a total fail year of growing anything other than flowers. This year you have made me slightly better. 😆
Thanks for this vid, explains alot, the whole starter soil, container soil, raised bed, potting, top, mulch, compost etc confusing to new gardener. I know our ancestors /grandparents didn't shop for soil. 😉
You know they didn't,lol,I'm thinking they used dirt and manure and I'm not to sure the manure was aged,they were remarkable and resourceful people,they got it done with whatever t they had....
Got two cantaloupe in pots right now doing pretty sweet with a mystery chilly too. Except I got rabbit and chicken manure for free from the neighbors. Great advice 👍
Best gardener on UA-cam! I love to mix my clay soil with sand and perlite to get better drainage and buff up for pots of plants. Coco peat is a must as well! Will have to try peat moss ! Thank u
Watched 20 other vids, this is the one that told me why all the top soil bags are labeled "For lawn repair and hole filling only" because it has no nutrients and they don't want people complaining, "Hey, your dirt killed my plants!" Subscribed. Where did you get those metal etching tags tho? Those are perfect.
Bro did your not freak out to see that till slip? Lol 😁 I watched your sweetpotatoes havest and i was jealous bro. Im now trying to copy, hope you dont mind.Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🙏🙏
I love how you explain everything for a gardening dummy like me. I am learning SO much! I'm in Wisconsin, so the weather is finally starting to get nice, we finally hit mid 70s so my growing season starts a bit later, well, I think it does lol. But I am learning!! You are amazing, thank you again for your vids and sharing what you know!!!
Thanks so much for all the advice and great content! I made my own soil after using this as a guide and planted canteloupe in it - it's growing like crazy! One thing I didn't realize though - the packaged peat moss is dried out and a little hydrophobic, so it wasn't holding onto water very well at first in my containers. A few good soaks in the containers and adding water to the rest of the mix before using it in the garden fixed the problem!
Love your videos🤗 and thank you, this was very helpful. Just subscibed. I have clay soil and need to amend it. After I follow your steps do I have to wait for a couple of days or can I immediately start planting seeds?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! I will make a video about that in the future. I made a video about 5 things you can grow in the summer. Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
I just bought that huge bag of Peat Moss for $13. I think I will be picking up one more before they're all gone. Perlite isn't in any big box stores where I live, so I had to purchase some off if Amazon for $8 for 2 bags. Thanks for sharing another great video!👍😊
Just started my gardening adventure and found your videos! Super helpful! I was wondering can I use this mix for potted plants and what is the different between the in ground soil vs potted soil?
Bagged soil is free of bugs parasites and roots. As well as having a predetermined ph level. Natural soil may need treated to get the ph level where ya want it. Also it may have roots and bufs
Yes you can. It’s pretty much a container mix. Perlite adds good air flow for the roots and the moss hold water. The difference is texture. I personally don’t use peat moss and perlite for my ground soil i only use it in containers. I just use cow manure, top soil, native soil, worm castings and some slow release organic fertilizer for my ground soil.
I've made my own soil twice since i first watched your video! & my garden is flourishing.. how should i store the soil? & do you have tips for keeping bugs from eating my Cabbage, Kale, and Broccoli?
Great video as always. I know you gave top soil as a cheap alternative to peat moss but can I please ask that you encourage people to not use peat moss as it is devastating for the environment. I understand its uses and it took me a while to stop using it as it gives good results but could you please look into what effect it has on the environment so you can see what I mean. Many thanks.
Thank you Family!!! Coconut coir is also great alternative for peat moss. We will definitely look into that Family. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
@@theprolificfamilystead I’m afraid the squirrels and I think caterpillars or whatever it is will eat the leaves. It happened before. I plant on my deck. I love your videos and they are easy to follow. I also don’t know how often to water them. God bless you!
I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable. Where do you get most of your storage containers? Do you find them on Craigslist, or cath them on sale?
Now you said I can use top soil instead of peat moss but top soil is so much heavier so wouldn't I still need the peat moss so the soil will be fluffy so it drains better???
Can I use this soil for my fruit trees. I just purchased my first fruit trees ( Soursop, dawf papaya, and banana trees. They arrive next and I was trying to research the best soil for them. Im so new to this. I don't want them to die as soon as they get to me. 🤒
That is 3 Cubic feet of Peat moss. Should I use 3 cubic feet of Black cow or does 1 bag/1 Cubic feet is enough to grow. When I mixed this, it looks like there is too much peatmoss. Thank you.

Peat moss is not soil

For real, you are my FAVORITE gardener! Your content is excellent and you’ve given me hope that maybe I can grow something this summer. 😄

This is ancient wisdom, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Fam!!! Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
I had always thought I was a plant killer. This soil mix could turn anyone's thumb green. That's it, you did it man. I can grow plants!! Thank you.
You should add least 3 backs of blackKow that's to much peat moss I did that last month, that would won't retain water to much peatmoss
A tip I heard is to pre moisten your peat moss/cocoir because it might go to your eyes and lungs which is bad although this is optional
You are very correct
Thank you for sharing

I LOVE your videos.

Mixing your own is the way to go! If I have compost I use that instead of Black Kow but both work great.

Why don't you use forest Biohumus and homemade vermicompost?
You can add sand and powdered stinging nettle to the mix

I was "gifted" with a whole colony of quack grass from some prepackaged chicken compost last year.
I have chickens but have never heard of quack grass! What is it?
Plants love chicken compost. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
@@joannamills4510 maybe he was thinking it was DUCK dirt because he got quack grass...😂😂
Vermiculite is a darker, more expensive, more organic looking version of perlite (which looks like bits of styrofoam but is volcanic rock).
Great video!
Personally , i would Opt for a coarser Grade of Perlite . It breaks down over Time
I've made my own soil twice since i first watched your video! & my garden is flourishing.. how should i store the soil? & do you have tips for keeping bugs from eating my Cabbage, Kale, and Broccoli?
I heard 100% cold pressed Neem oil is pretty good..
Hey I was wondering if you have a video on tomatoes, from seed to fruit?
Can you just use regular ground soil(dig it up) and put in planter boxes? Should you add peet moss etc too it? Beginner.
The dirt plus everything else he used...

@@mercedesbenzs600bash Because peat bogs take centuries to form. But coconut coir is a useful waste product from coconuts.
@@brianmatthews4323 Much appreciated 🙏🏾

Ratios are somewhat overrated,just eyeball it,it's all trial and error or just go by what he did on a lower scale...

Hi bro, I’m not interest in using black cow. What other alternatives
Why not???
I don’t like cow maure because it’s not for sure if the cows were fed hay that is sprayed with harmful chemicals
Now you said I can use top soil instead of peat moss but top soil is so much heavier so wouldn't I still need the peat moss so the soil will be fluffy so it drains better???
This video is great! How do you store your seeds when you don'tuse them all?
Would this mixer grow grass seeds???
Thank u bro
Any ballpark idea what ph of this mix is? I have got to start making my own. Store bought mix is breaking me.
Unfortunately here in PA that bag of peat moss is $40+ dollars so it isn’t so cheap here to make your own soil
So how did you make your soil,what did you use???
Can I use this soil for my fruit trees. I just purchased my first fruit trees ( Soursop, dawf papaya, and banana trees. They arrive next and I was trying to research the best soil for them. Im so new to this. I don't want them to die as soon as they get to me. 🤒
Any pointers on beaking up hard pack and turning it to soil?
What's hard pack???
That is 3 Cubic feet of Peat moss. Should I use 3 cubic feet of Black cow or does 1 bag/1 Cubic feet is enough to grow. When I mixed this, it looks like there is too much peatmoss. Thank you.
Thank you so much! And can I find all these at Home Depot?
Yes
Would you suggest I use this mixture to spread over my Bermuda grass?
