My mom used part yard soil and then added soil and dead leaves from the woods close by. Always added barn yard manure also. She had a green thumb!
Sounds great and good for her! We can learn so much from those who go before us. Thanks for watching Fannie 😁
Thanks again Shirley💜
My pleasure🌸

Thank you for sharing this good information. Would you use potting soil for extra large pots also?
Thank you for watching it for your comment and question. Yes, you can use party soil for extra large pots. There is a trick that pros use where are you don’t fill the entire pot with Soil, rather you fill the bottom with packing peanuts or other lightweight material, cover it with gardening fabric and then fill in with Soil.
Here’s a video of mine that shows the technique

I LEARNED ABOUT POT AND GROUND SOILS TODAY. IT TOOK ME BACK YO BEING A STUDENT AND PAYING ATTENTION TO THE TEACHER 😃
OK, I HAVE ANOTHER ❓⁉️
BUT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER VIDEO?
EARTHWORMS. I GOT THEM IN MY BACKYARD. IS IT OK TO DROP ONE IN THE POT. YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY DO IN THE TEQUILA BOTTLE ?
Haha always funny!
Yes you can add red wigglers to the soil they will help to aerate the soil. They also function in the biological circle by consuming organic matter and excreting nutrients into the soil!
@@EdenMakers Thank you for the answer!
Thank you so much got it now haha 😂
Glad to hear it and glad you watched! 😊
Why can you use dirt and amend it, adding fertilizer, peat moss or coir and perlite or vermiculite?🌷💚🙃
Hi Judy, This is not a simple answer. Are you asking if you can use native soil from the ground and add specific amendments or fertilizers to it and use it as a potting soil?
@@EdenMakers basically yes 🌷💚🙃
Hi Judy, Thank you for clarifying.
I don’t recommend it for a few reasons.
1. Native soil from the ground tends to be heavy and not provide adequate drainage even when you add perlite or vermiculite.
2. Unknown soil pH. The pH value of soil is important as it helps a plant root take up nutrients.
3. Native soil can work for certain plants (for instance plants that need heavy soil and are placed in a pond).
