    I transplanted a blueberry using the water “debarking” method. It was mostly bark tangled with roots. Patience is needed not to just rip...hahha. I’ll give the banging on concrete method a try, but not on my fruiting blueberries. I planted it in pumice and peat. 70/30(?). So far a day later, it looks better than “control” blueberry in store pot. The tips of newest shoots looked normal and green. So far looks good.

    @ 26:35 I learned why not to plant in ground with compost. Very informative

    I am working on repotting small plants and will be putting some monstera cuttings in it to see what happens. My fear is cleaning up after this stuff falls over.

    Met someone who had an amazing yard, including lots of container plant. He never fertilized, he used a pitchfork to open air pockets in the soil.

    Top growers want 2 year shelf life for retail plants. They get repeat customers, up to a point.

    Any suggestions on how to remedy this issue if you already planted in ground with about 25-50% mushroom compost and sand. Not sure if digging up soil would kill some roots.

    Your Top pot soil is not available in Los Angeles. If I were to emulate top pot by making my own mix what would the ratios be? Also can coco coir replace peat moss in this situation?

    How would you recommend doing the soil in a multi planter 50 gallon drum? I’ve a few that I DIY’d unfortunately put compost in and I still want to use them.

    Hi Gary, do you by any chance offer online purchases of any of your products? I didn’t see a link when I visited your website. Thank you

    In a pot or as 1 to 3 inch top dressing: 1/2 Worm castings, 1/2 good potting soil! Add rice hulls to keep it loose and it'll grow a bushy plant with little else. Might add a little liquid bone meal a month or so before planting and a small amount of CalMag.

    Gary what do we do about fixing iodine deficient soil naturally? here in tasmania the soil is naturally deficient in iodine and selenium and farm animals have to be supplemented, so what does that mean for the home grower? you want to feel like your growing the healthiest food, not food that is deficient lol, i heard the iodine in organic matter is fixed into a form that plants cant take up called iodate or something, they fix iodine deficiency world wide with iodized salt programs but i dont eat salt and rarely eat bread so im wondering how we can fix this issue naturally with the soil, i dont want to be like the germans (or was it the turks) in WW2 who had extremely high rates of goiter because they were growing there own food! still births and mental decline are 2 other issues with iodine, kinda defeats the purpose of self sustainability doesnt it lol

    Hi Gary, can I mix 50% sand and 50% peat moss plus some fertilizer to plant my lemon seedling into the ground? Any suggestions? Thanks
