Thank you for the kind words. You’ll be happy to know I have been building and filming - hopefully not too much longer and I’ll be able to get some new videos done!
Absolutely. If you are able to add in ingredients & nutrients to aid good soil structure - include compost and or well aged manure - you should be able to get the right balance of drainage and water retention for containers. Adding a slow release fertiliser is a good idea as well - especially for indoor plants.
I can't say for sure, but my guess is that yes, potting soil and potting mix are the same, (just regional variations on the name), and an "all purpose" mix will contain nutrients to promote flowering/fruiting as well as general plant growth, where as indoor will be more focused on nutrients for plant health and leaf growth. They may have slightly different water retention qualities too.
I love your build videos! If you're doing any more building, please share.
Thank you. I am working hard to finish my latest build video - it's indoors but pretty epic. Should be out before the end of next week!
I don’t know how I just discovered you’re channel, but I hope you return and give more build guides etc

I got a ton of free gardening soil. Would it make sense to amend it with peat moss, perlite or vermiculite in order to use for containers?

Hi thank you for sharing! Is potting mix same as potting soil? What's the difference between "all purpose" potting mix and "indoor" potting mix?

@@TheBiteSizedGarden Thank you for your reply. I thought that indoor potting mix doesn’t contain any nutrient since there isn’t soil in it.
All mixes will contain fertilizers, but usually they are slow release ones that allow the plant to access the nutrients over a few months.
Great video
Thanks!
Hmmm I have had great results with garden soil however that had organic matter in it
Me too. Mixing compost and garden soil works well. The organic matter helps with aeration, nutrients and structure.
What is your real name? I need your real name for a project
🥺
Can you use potting soil instead of garden soil in your garden
Other than cost I don’t see why not. You would probably want to add some compost or similar to help with moisture retention though.
