I was literally just standing at Lowes today wondering what the difference between potting and garden soil was. Thank you for this super helpful video!
Soil is the most important yet the most complicated part of gardening and can feel overwhelming. This is good info and keeps it simple, thank you Randy!
I've been gardening for a long time, and I still love these videos. What I love best is how you make it so user and budget friendly. For instance, in other raised bed soil approaches there tends to be a RECIPE. You give the basics, but let folks know how to make adjustments based on what is available, and what to expect following those adjustments. Keep us smiling!
Your information about different types of soil is very interesting. I love to plant things. I just sowed some carrot seeds and they are busting already. I am excited. I love to do gardening.
I have acres if land here in North Carolina. Some of it had a lot of brush. When we were clearing some of it we noticed that the solid was very rich and black. I am thinking I can dig up and sift enough soil for my 3 raised beds. Can I do this and add peat moss and black cow?
Thanks so much for breaking down all the types of soils that are on the market....its so confusing. I just started seeds for raised beds today, so now I'll be prepped the beds. Thanks Randy!@
Honey know Iknow why it was taking some of my stuff so long to break through. I was using potting soil, garden soil black cow and anything that I had at the moment just wanted to grow some stuffI know now, thanks Randy you always make therightvideo at the right time. I just love you. OKAY OKAY !
This is EXACTLY what I needed as I get excited to plant some groceries, my MAN! I love your timing, your info, your enthusiasm, and your energy! Thank you for all you do. We here in Florida love you! ♥️♥️♥️ Come have some ☕ with us in Jacksonville, Florida when you can. ♥️
Hello Randy, YOU'RE THE BEST! Thank you for explaining the differences in soils, manure, coco coir, peat moss, vermiculite etc. I have seen so many people on your fb page asking these very questions. I just returned from camping over the weekend. I purchased several bags of sta green flower and garden vegetable bags and peat moss from Home Depot last Thursday and I need to go back this week for more bags for my raised beds of everything to include black kow manure. I have never used it. I do have my own compost pile. Thank you for this very informative video. Love you too! Thumbs up! Cheers. Regina
I’m in Northern Virginia and I’m using wool fleeces instead of coco core, if y’all have sheep farmers nearby, spring shearing season is on and I’m sure they would want to get rid of some of the ones that are not good for yarn 😉
This is THE BEST most simply explained way on what to use to start a a raised bed or container. I've watched a few of your videos and I am so much more confident on starting my garden. Thank you thank you thank you so so so so much. 💗
Hi hope all is well. yes I needed to hear this video. Good video ! thank you Randy for sharing this gardening information about the different types of soil and I need to know what soil to use for my raised bed. I’m still new to gardening. stay safe and well. happy gardening 🌱🥬🪴🙂👍🏾
You should try also getting a bag of Perlite, vermiculite, pumas, rice hulls or one of the common garden soil aeration sources. I don't think it is neccesary, but it will help. Also it's a little bit over the top but there is a company called buildasoil that puts together kits for this buildasoil.com/products/buildasoil-take-n-bake-artisan-soil-building-kit?variant=44968106834 . I did it and it worked great, though maybe instead of spending that much it might be cool to simply copy their recipe on a smaller scale.
Anybody have a problem with acidity in sphagnum peat moss, particularly the brand mentioned in the video being sold at lowes. I've been wanting to use it but I heard a lot about peat moss having a very high pH
I really like Fox Farm and Oly Mountain. For Fox Farm I really like the Happy Frog for seed starting and Ocean Forest for general use. I've been thining about ordering the Strawberryfields because I've heard good things.
Yes I get the idea of the seed starting mix, but have had better success with the potting soil mix, when germinating seeds. So I tell people use what works for you, expect failures and successes and enjoy both similarly gardening is fun either way.
I didn’t know the difference but I planted a mango 🥭 seed on a bucket of Black Cow manure and it grew but died on me. It took 3~4 weeks to see it pop up and it grew for about 6~8 weeks before it died. Still have pictures lol, need to try and grow more.
I have a question what’s the chance you’re from Sanford NC? I swear I’ve seen you at a family reunion before lol I might be wrong about that though. Love your videos your tips have helped me out at ton thank you!
@@jeffwilson4176 that’s right. I bought both and did not like the heavy one... l had to take out the rocks and mix in some perlite. . You know. ...Cause we ain’t got no money !!!!

Love your videos..Thanks so much

Anyone price a bale of Peet cause at twenty dollars it can't do enough good to justify. These products have gone beyound cost effective.
Your information about different types of soil is very interesting. I love to plant things. I just sowed some carrot seeds and they are busting already. I am excited. I love to do gardening.

Yes yes you definitely can the native soil is a good good
I just used up all my soul today. Back to the store for my discount

Thank you, Randy for sharing this video with me from the SBR Group on FB. NOW I feel confident of what to do with my red dirt in GA!😀💜🌱
Great video. Black cow peat moss and potting soil with vermiculite....great mix.

Great information on soil. Thanks🙏 happy planting

first comment woot woot
I really needed to hear this. I think that the starting soil is what I am lacking and is probably why some of my seeds havent germinated.
I am one of those people that need all the details from A to Z OKAY!
That dollar treesoil kills every plant i put in it
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Somebody blocked me off your Facebook page what did I do
OMG! This was exactly what I needed!!
Can you plant peanut in 5 or 6" pots. Help!! i shop dollartree too
Fox farm strawberry fields is and always will be my go-to soil! 🍓😁👍🏾
I really like Fox Farm and Oly Mountain. For Fox Farm I really like the Happy Frog for seed starting and Ocean Forest for general use. I've been thining about ordering the Strawberryfields because I've heard good things.
I use peat moss for my red wiggler beds

I love your energy.
I yi yi, I need soooo much of that stuff.
To make 3 beds about 3 x 10, I’m guessing $300 of soil amendments, Cuz my soil is straight crap😜
I didn’t know the difference but I planted a mango 🥭 seed on a bucket of Black Cow manure and it grew but died on me. It took 3~4 weeks to see it pop up and it grew for about 6~8 weeks before it died.
Still have pictures lol, need to try and grow more.
I NEEDED THIS ...I'M STARTING A GARDEN RAISED BED FOR THE FIRST TIME ..I POSTED A VIDEO IF MY RAISED BED
Ayye seeing this at posted 7 minutes ago lol
That's right! I need to hear it.
Solid informative video! Thanks Randy!!!
You find all the smart solutions, we don’t mind you struggling to find the button sometimes👨🏽🌾😁
I wish we had black kow here in Portland but there isn't any within 50 miles. Sigh.
I have a question what’s the chance you’re from Sanford NC? I swear I’ve seen you at a family reunion before lol I might be wrong about that though. Love your videos your tips have helped me out at ton thank you!
Ty so much for that. What is difference in container mix and potting mix
Hey that's my raised bed mix 🤫. Lol! I need more of that stuff as well.
Thank you...very informative!
Thank you. I wrote all this down. Just what l needed to hear. Ok. Ok. 🤣
Thank you so much for your effort, energy, and information.
They have coco coir in big bags like peat moss at home depot.
This was soooo helpful and simple.
What’s up from Georgia
Really nice run down!
👍🏽🥰👍🏽HELPFUL👍🏽🥰👍🏽
Thank You! OK, OK?!
Dollar tree potting soil is full of rocks that's why it's so heavy
Big blue has rocks
Small green no rocks
Big blue was the one he said was heavy. That is the potting soil. Small green is not potting soil it is seed starter.
@@jeffwilson4176 that’s right. I bought both and did not like the heavy one... l had to take out the rocks and mix in some perlite. . You know. ...Cause we ain’t got no money !!!!
Soon we will get that stimulus😁
@@joanfernandez4072 you can go to Atwoods and get a 40 lb bag for $6 for Miracle Grow potting soil
