    Gary, I am so glad that I found you. I wish my grandparents were alive today because they would back up everything you say. This is freaking incredible information, and you should be a great big star with a fancy show or something. lol You are probably too cool for all that nonsense, though. Anyway, thank you so much for this. And I think you should maybe duct tape that one woman's mouth shut so you can talk without intteruption. bahahahaha! You rule, Gary!!

    Another great video Gary. I will be slowly taking out all the dead wood compost from my raised garden beds and replacing with sandy soil including some peat moss. Is it OK to use sand sourced from the beach?

    • @richardmang2558
      @richardmang2558 4 роки тому

      IMHO the sand from the beach depends on what type of water the beach is on. If it is a fresh water lake the beach sand would be fine because there is no salt in it. Same thing for a beach along a river bank. A beach on a salt water ocean would have salt in the sand. If you could rinse the salt out of the sand, before putting the sand into your garden or pots, then it would be fine.

    Thank you Gary for the subject. I agree to the point of no compost for trees, but can it still be applied to a vegetable? For example, I hear much about adding a lot of compost to soil when plant asparagus. It is known that asparagus have a long deep root, which could be as long as 3 feet, in its long life. Should we only add compost on the top of soil for asparagus? Or vegetable prefers different soil from that of a tree.

What are your thoughts on a sand, peat moss and vermiculite combo soil mix for containers? I don't have a problem with using sand as it is more cost effective for me than pumice rock and I like the added stability it gives my containers as they (containers) is my method of choice for gardening. But I am also concerned with water retention as summers can get very hot.

    • @GarysBestGardening
      @GarysBestGardening  2 місяці тому

      Our Top Pot is made of 35% Peat Moss, 30% Pumice, 20% Perlite, 10% Sand, 5% Charcoal. You can play with these numbers. More sand or pumice makes it more aerated with less moisture retention , more peat moss increases moisture retention and acidity. 100% Sand is a great growing medium although it doesn't hold water well.

    Hey Gary. I believe I'm having the same problem with one of my citrus trees as you mentioned in the presentation. The tree I planted now has a couple dozen leaves and is quite twiggy. I believe my soil is clay/sandy clay, do you have any suggestions to get my tree going?

    • @GarysBestGardening
      @GarysBestGardening  5 років тому +4

      It depends on how old the tree is. If it is a young tree (1-3 years old) you can dig it up, wash ALL of the soil off, and replant it in soil that is 100% mineral, sand is preferred. Just make sure that you cover the tree for a couple weeks with shade cloth, as bare rooting put the plant in a shock state. If the tree is older, you can leave it in the ground and dig out one side of the dirt where the tree is. You can then fill this hole with 100% sand or pumice. Then wait a month or 2 and repeat with the other side.

    • @GarysBestGardening
      @GarysBestGardening  5 років тому +2

      It is the same protocol as to what happens in nature. In nature, dead matter falls above the soil line and decomposes. This forces the nutrients to travel downwards with water. We recommend using any organic fertilizers or composts, and applying them to the surface of the soil near the base of the tree. Dr. Earth is a very good brand that we frequently recommend.

    I'm in Sacramento and planted a Jacaranda tree in clay soil that I heavily amended with a sandy multiple compost blend, old wood chip mulch I had there for 3 yrs, shredded paper and sawdust from tupelo tree stump I had ground up. I removed all the old roots of a 30+ft tupelo tree and raised the soil up with this native clay+sandy compost+aged woodchips+leaves+shredded paper and used a lawn toller to compress and level it out. It's by far my best soil. Easy to dig, rich, dark black, moist soil that can no matter much rain or water comes down drains in just over two minutes. Havent lost one plant because of the compost in the soil and I added a dwarf jacaranda, royal poinciana, lavendsr, rushia nana, wisteria, bougainvilleas. All the rain we got here up north didnt kill any of the plants in that soil unlike another tree I planted in my backyard that got root rot from the rain last winter when I planted in unamended native clay soil. I'm now experimenting with using red lava sand in mh backyard with my inground avocado and plumerias and red lava fines+peat moss+little finished compost in my potted plants.
