    Since learning them a few years ago, my 'go to' raised bed/container mix has been and continues to be your recipe from a few years ago containing manure, peat, topsoil & granular fertilizer & a touch of garden lime. I also rely on your sterilized seed starting mix recipe containing sterilized peat, vermiculite, & then adding worm castings. I like the sound of todays new recipe it's nice to have alternative 'options' using whatever is available nowadays. Your recipes work wonderfully & thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge & making gardening more affordable and accessible! 🍄🌶🧄🧄🥒🥕🧅🍇🍅🍆🥔🌿

      They are tried and true. And I agree options are good because I am aware not everybody has access to what is in my area. Affordability is really my goal, as the bagged 'premium' stuff is really not as good as what I just made.

    I just purchased 2 bags of peat moss at Menards for $14.99 each bag of 2.2 CF same brand. Plus I get 10% off rebate. We just cut down a huge tree last fall and the guys shredded it and left a huge pile next to my garden so that's free stuff. I added the leaves and greens from mowing the lawn in the fall. My husband just added a truck load of cow manure from a local organic dairy farm. Plus he throws the ashes from our wood burning stove over the garden all winter long and tills all that stuff into the garden. I almost forgot the worm castings. We are just using the wood chips in the walking paths between the rows to suppress weeds.

I'd since been using your technique of mixing your own. Too bad about the peat moss price increase though. 😢

    I was glad I had most of a bag of peat moss from last year when I saw the prices increase, my county recycling center offers free compost and mulch and it's been integral in making this mix on a small budget. Last year I mixed worm castings in with your recipe for seed starting mix after cooling - seedlings did great but this year I decided to save the worm castings for the planting hole with some leftover granular and simply start my seeds later/plant them out sooner - most won't need weeks of fertilizer indoors. This is such a great all purpose mix that can be tweaked for individual needs, the one thing I change is my beds/containers for carrots and other root vegetables is less compost, and more pearlite right along the rows (like a "this seems silly" amount of pearlite, but it finally was the change that got me success with carrots last year!).

    Gary, thanks for all you do to inspire us newbies to jump into gardening. I have a couple of questions. Considering peat moss is compressed, should I use the expanded volume in mix recipes? Also I started a large shredded leaf mould pile in the fall which is starting to break down but has a way to go. Could I use this in the mix if using for raised beds or will it consume nitrogen as it continues to break down? Thanks.

  • @ceecee-thetransplantedgardener

    Can't find Leafgro in my area but a 2.2 cu ft bag of peat is still around $15-16. Lose some, win some. :) I mix my own soil as well - I use a big kiddy pool. BTW - your "soil recipe" basics saved my raised beds last year when I got less than stellar stuff from a local supplier. You can take any of these basic components and amend planting mediums for better results. I am proof. Thanks Gary!

      If you have access to leaves, you can make your own “Leaf Mold”. You can find lots of videos on it. For mine, I used a lawn mower to shred the leaves, placed them in heavy duty black contractor plastic bags, poked a few holes in the bottom and then saturated the leaves with water. Over the year, I periodically made sure all the leaves were damp. Eventually, the leaves all broke down into hummus.

    I have some hardwood (mostly oak) shreds left from sawing seasoned (1yr) firewood last Oct that I bagged up and stored. I had hoped to use them as a filler in the bottom of a raised bed. I worried about the nitrogen issue so I have not used them yet. They are still light colored and there is only a small amount of dust. Could I use this as the hardwood mulch for this mix with my mushroom compost and sphagnum peat moss???

I want to grow a mix of flowers, veggies, and herbs but I don’t know where to start! I work at a barn so I can get manure for fertilizer easily but I’m worried it won’t be good to put in? I’ve began weeding, most of the weeds are just patches of grass where as last year there was a lot of horse tail and what not. I’m planning on renting a roter tiller and using that once it’s all weeded and clean but I want to add some soil. I’m just so overwhelmed will all the information! You don’t have to answer this!

      I would keep it simple. I have lots of videos on building raised beds, metal beds, or just plan earth beds. If your manure is aged passed a year you can use it. I would just turn you soil with a shovel, weeds and all. Drop compost across the top. Let all sit a couple weeks, then break up the clumps and just plant. It's a great start. Weeding will be ongoing. Just pull them as they appear. You can make a mix like this and put it across the top too.

    You can use any compost such as bulk, it doesn't really matter what brand, they all come from various sources that contained their own unique composition of npk and micronutients. I usually buy the cheapest compost or even cow manure because they all are just fillers, if you think about it like hydroponics only think of a soiless component that used to hold the plant and roots in a container full of water but you add nutrients to the reservoir which is the same as soil containing the same ingredients. Sometimes the compost may be lacking so npk ingredients are added such as bonemeal and etc.

    At what point do you recommend hydrating the mixture? It seems like adding water to the peat moss before mixing it the soil and compost would be the best time but that's not what I see in your videos. If I wait until the mix is complete, I fear that the amendments will be washed out of the mix. Help!

      Before mixing the peat is best so you have less dust.

      Not only has vermiculite gone way up in price, but you may have a hard time finding the extra/super coarse grade vermiculite that works best in Mel's mix. The mix itself does work great as long as you're not growing acid loving perennials in it. In my experience it's near impossible to lower soil PH if you have a lot of vermiculite mixed in.

Patuxant Nursery advertises 1.5 cu ft online for $6.25 a bag. It's also offered for $33+ a cubic yard at other places. Google it. If someone is charging more for a 1.5 cu ft bag, it's price gauging.
