Many mfgs get their ingredients from the same source but what makes them stand out is they do like Regular John does, only difference they tweak the percentage and maybe add some of their own proprietary magic to it.
I mix all purpose sand, peat moss, perlite, bagged compost, lime, shake and feed fertilizer. My flowers and vegetables do great. Black cow products are great. I use their potting mix and manure. I buy the timperland compost with humus. If i use a bought potting mix i mix humus in with it. This is a great mixture and like he said there are many homemade potting mixes on you tube for the different varieties of plants and shrubs in pots. Some plants don't like peat moss do be careful with what you use. Been doing pots for almost 20 years for people. Love working with different plants of all kinds. I've had roses in pots for about 9 years. Just watch your type of potting mix. I add bone meal to my potting mix and use alfalfa meal around my roses in the spring. You can use the alfalfa pellets also. Cottenseed meal is another great thing for different plants. Go organic and we can stop all the synthetic fertilizers. Blood meal and bone meal have many uses. I only use organic material on my grass and watch what i spray weeds with. Save the bees and birds. Save the ladybugs. We're killing all our beneficial insects.
Yes sir. Peat moss is on the acidic side which figs don’t mind. I use synthetic fertilizers in my potted trees because they would never get the amount of nutrients that they would need to thrive. They are naturally growing in volcanic soil where all the elements are present that could not be duplicated in a pot. I do supplement them with natural fertilizers I make myself, to keep the synthetics to a minimum. Thank you for watching 🙏
Yes. Sorry it too k me so long. Yes. You want to compost it down with some leaves or some other form of carbon. Horse manure is high in nitrogen so letting it settle with dead leaves or hay.

Couldn’t have said it better myself friend.
Nice job John!…. Exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I would add perlite or a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite to this for aeration and drainage. About 24 oz per 5 gallons.
You’d be surprised how well this drains.
Thanks....nice video, and helpful tips
Thank you Sir for watching 🙏. Thank you for the kind comment
I would stay far far away from any miracle grow products if I were you sir. Other than that great tips!
All the more reason to save a little money.
What about the organic miracle grow variety???
@@johnathantaylor3199 pricy. Any bagged potting soil I would still add 1/3 the volume in fine pine bark mulch.
Can I use horse manuer my area is so cheap?
Yes. Sorry it too k me so long. Yes. You want to compost it down with some leaves or some other form of carbon. Horse manure is high in nitrogen so letting it settle with dead leaves or hay.
@RegularJohntv thank you
Do you mix peat, mulch and cow poo into soil or is the soil just those three ingredients?
Yes ma’am. The soil is these three ingredients.
Thanks for the answer
