I know next to nothing about plants, but I thought when something was root bound that it needs loosening before planting. Good to know that it isn’t necessary! Thanks for your nice informative videos!
If the roots are just touching the sides of the pot or barely coming out of the weep holes you can just plant it. If the roots are girdled and twisted up you will want to do some work on those roots.
I have a question. I have some soil that I started to repot a vegetable in. I think it was basil and it didn't take. I have it in a grown bag but it didn't grow. I noticed that little bugs are coming out. Should I try to use that soil or should I just get rid of it? I'm a new Gardener I need to know as much as you can help me with.
Esther Fan Dr. Warren, thank you very much. I do have one questions that has been asking around, (chatgpt also, but the answer is very disappointing). My question is : why the grass clipping, consider as green material, and when they dried out, they became carbon rich( brown material), what makes the change, I don't mean in the change of their color, but from nitrogen rich, to carbon rich? thank you for your time.
Ok Im trying to follow you here. I will try to explain the best I can. When plants die they decompose. Part of the decomposition process is what we call volatilization. This is N being released into the atmosphere. This is why sometimes thing that are decomposing smell like ammonia . So when things die they do lose N. The amount of carbon is an organism would more or less remain constant regardless if it is dead or alive. What you are seeing with plants turning green to brown is the breakdown of the chlorophyll molecule as decomposition occurs.
@@Dr.Warren Thank you so much, Dr. Warren, that information of a breaking down/dying organic matter will release Nitrogen into air, I learn a lots from your explain such as why decomposing is smelling, carbon is more constant, and the brown color came from the decomposition of chlorophyll molecule. so many important points. thank you again.

This is tough to answer over a UA-cam comment. So many different variables could be at Play. The simple answer is yes, get rid and try something else!
Would this formula be good for growing vegetables in too? Approximately what ratio of organic compost to old mix do you use? Thank you :)
Yes, it would work. You could do 1:1 ratio by volume.

@@estherfan4021 never stop learning. Not just with plants but all things.
Ok I always assumed “ppl poop” 💩 was bad to mix in any planting or is it just for vegetables/fruits that would be consumed? 🤔
If it's been sterilized it's great
@@Dr.Warren I'm reluctant to use Milorganite and the like because of the heavy metal content. (The non-musical kind.)
