  • Spring 2023 we have put 9 box store garden soils to the test.
    We have planted 9 eighteen gallon containers with two plants each of a Early Jersey Wakefeild cabbage.
    Over the period of 60 days we kept sunlight,water,temperature and pest treatment’s as equal as possible across all 9 containers to see what garden soil would perform the best.
    After we harvest this cabbage we have planned to immediately plant squash in these same containers to continue stress testing the soil over the summer.
    Stay tuned and thank you for watching.

      Absolutely. It’s good to hear it’s helpful. So many different options it’s hard to know which one you’ll need.

    So helpful! Standing in the store trying to guess just doesn't work.

      Right. And none of it is cheap or easy to replace if it doesn’t work.

      The next soil test we do i plan on adding some big names like fox farms.
      I really want to see if the high end soils are worth the money.
      I plan on that test being done this fall and i will likely do cabbage again because it is a heavy feeder and great visual for the camera.

    Anyone know where you can get the Burpee 1 cu. ft. Natural & Organic Raised Garden + Container Mix? Searched online and can't find a source anywhere for either pickup or delivery. Looking for zip code 97701. Thanks for suggestions.
