    This test with the blood meal explains why my onions didnt react for like 5 weeks to my blood meal addition to my raised bed which is part native soil part compost.

    Hey Matt - I just stumbled across this after watching your recap on using Alfalfa meal. This was super useful and directly applicable, really enjoyed it. Would love to see a similar breakdown of bone meal and any non-animal-based organic alternatives. Also, based on your findings, is amending Alfalfa mean into a mix that already contains blood meal worthwhile or would it cause problems?
    It'd also be great to see something covering different soil amendments' effectiveness with different types of veggie crops based on your analysis, with recommendations. It's a real pain to find this kind of information out there that's not just purely anecdotal without reading lengthy studies. Thanks again, this was much appreciated!

    So interesting. I've been making custom soil blends for my farm seedlings for years now, and it is so much superior than going with store bought. I have been trying to learn how to make my own custom liquid organic hydroponic fertilizers, and this is exactly why I have not given up and just gone synthetic fertilizer route, because you miss out on just so much quality when you work with chemical sterilization. Although it's far cheaper and don't have to make compost teas for two weeks ahead of use. But with hydroponics it's all fairly systemitized to the point I know how much water each batch will generally use, and plot out fertilizer use from that.

    • @pilsplease7561
      @pilsplease7561 6 місяців тому +1

      I went full synthetic in my vineyard because with the cost of organic fertilizer and the risk with my soil of it leaching it just makes sense to use it and its literally so much cheaper that I dont care if i buy 10 bags for $200. Organic would be like 2 bags for $100 lol

    • @yearofthegarden
      @yearofthegarden 6 місяців тому

      @pilsplease7561 yeah I fully get that, while organic is capable of providing a more complex nutrition, synthetic gets the crop 95% to what peak organic provides but for no hassle or cost.
      I'm going to try chilean nitrate and my organic mix, but I have recipes and calcium nitrate + blend in a shopping card thebsecond organic gives me an issue

      When I have crops like grapes that remove a huge amount of potassium like 10 pounds per plant from the soil each year per acre its expensive to do organic fertilizer you have to add potassium back yearly. @@yearofthegarden

    Interesting results! Can you share the following about how the tests were conducted? 1. Were the amendments just scratched into the soil surface or were they incorporated throughout the entire sample? 2. How was the sample collected for testing? Was the entire sample mixed? What volume of soil was collected? 3. How were the samples analyzed? The main question I have- if the amendments are scratched into, let's say, the top 2 inches of soil, how affective is this in supplying adequate nutrients deeper at the root level of an established perennial? Maybe this is a different test all together. Thank you so much for your time!

      I think scratching it at min or mixing it in. Top dressing is fine as every time you water it moistens it and bacteria will still break it down..but of course if its under the soil it will stay more moist which will break down quicker. Not all plants like being constantly.moist in planters.

      Great question. We are planning to run the same study using alfalfa in a future video.

    All I know about gardening-mainly-is to ensure that all perennial weeds have been killed for least one year before even attempting to start any garden. Wheat is a good crop to grow to compete with perennial weeds because it is a Allopathic.
    The soil tech that tested the samples from my sisters lawn said that sevrn percent organic matter is pretty high for a lawn.

    Bruh, a soybean meal was labeled twice, and the Y axis was also inconsistent. This could cause you to fail a lab report if you were in college
