We tailor our classes based on what we have here in stock. Unfortunately, our mango supplier had a large portion of their crop burn down, so we have not been able to get mangoes in since. In the future, when we do start getting them in again, look for a class on mangoes. For the sugar cane, if you look back in our history, you should find a class or two on sugar cane. When we do a tropical fruit class, we may also include barbados cherries on there.
I have my own soil mix: I used to use miracle grow pitting soil and compost. Everything died which is explained by your video now. Now my soil is based on drainage and being as loose as possible. What do you you think of a 50-50 ration of Coco coir and vermiculite? I usually throw in some worm castings as well but not maybe that ends up being like 5 percent of the mix max. Then I try to mulch the containers. Does that sound like a good mix? I of course fertilize with organic fertilizers but not much more organic matter anymore.
Gary, soils.org - the soil science association of America. - "A general rule of thumb is that a healthy soil contains about 5% organic matter by weight . In a 60:40 mix of sand and compost that goal is just being met." on ijsrp.org - "The mature compost must contain organic matter below 30%. The total organic matter should be decreased during the process of composting by the mineralization of organic matter by microbes (Grigatti et al., 2004). The organic matter should not be very high in the mature compost as it indicates that the degradation rate and humification index is low (Haung et al., 2004). There is an inverse relation between organic matter, temperature and time of composting (Tiquia and Tam, 2000). It was concluded that the organic matter of mature compost must not exceed from 30%, below 30% the results are satisfactory, it indicates the stability and maturity of compost". so from all that i get about a 2 : 1 ratio sand compost by volume is that right? still think i can make straight compost work, 2 much organic matter if what yano
Gary is the smartest because he has years of experienced he was around when the dirt was change to compost it is why he came out with the correct dirt
Absolutely Gold 👍
Amazing info. Can you please do a talk on growing mango, sugar cane and Barbados cherries in Southern California?
