- Behind the scenes at a modern potting soil production business: Sumas Gro Media. I was lucky enough to catch up with Bert Bischoff this week, and he agreed to take us through a discussion of various ingredients and considerations for a potting mix. We touch on pH and salinity, peat and coir, perlite, pumice, and also some great wood-based alternatives to the various ingredients.

That was really enlightening and educational. I especially appreciated when he made mention of the fact that what he offers is more of a framework than actual nutrients. I hadn't thought about that but it's a great point. I really appreciate his taking the time to do this and of course your continued lessons from all your videos. Thanks!
I'm glad you liked it! I always find Bert's insights helpful.
It is 'FILLER'
I love seeing places like this to see why they are using particular ingredients and knowledge. Thanks for making this video
Very informative. Never thought about the salt content in mixes before.
Totally. It's the kind of thing the soil professionals have to pay a lot of attention to so that the growers don't have to worry about it.
I don't know how I got here but I love seeing behind the scenes videos like this where they show all the different stuff that goes into making something that everyone thinks is just a simple product. This is like a How It's Made for potting soil.
This was a great video. Very informative and well edited with the text box summary's. We need more things like this on RUclips as it felt like watching an interview you would see on PBS or something on TV. A breathe of fresh air, thank you.
Thanks for the feedback Brandan!
Loved the tour. Also love the honesty & transparency about the economic impact- carbon footprin, etc .
Wow! This video is giving me a lot to think about from growing my orchids inside to planted hydrangeas. I’m just a hobby gardener but have started to pay attention to the nutrients in the soil and what your adding to it. This was so informative. You should do a class all about soil structures and substrates. 🙋🏼♀️ im in, lol!
That was fascinating, I learned a lot and Bert is great to listen to.
You bet - he kind of takes the conversation up a level!
Wow....answered so many of my questions! This guy is a gem. Thank you Jason!
My pleasure Anne. I'm glad you found it useful!
Very knowledgeable person, but explained things in a simple way so everyone can understand!
What a brilliant idea for educating us! Thank you❤️
Hi Jason, very interesting video. I always learn something new from you. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for spring !
What a knowledgeable guy. Enjoyed the tour.
Great video! Found this very informative. Thanks Jason and Bert!
This was a great video, I learned so much! Thank you for bringing us along!
Thank you for your time and trouble in gathering all the relevant info that has helped to educate us in growing our roses. Much appreciate your generosity
God bless you
Very educational! Another great video. Thanks to you both!
Great content! Canadians really are the nicest people - thanks for sharing.
Fascinating as always, it was thought provoking to learn about allopathic oils in the cedar and all of the salt in the fir bark
Absolutely the best, most informative not only about the unique features of each form of media but also of The Big Picture behind the scenes stories of their originations and qualities prior to making them an effective, safe growing media. Saved to my gardening AND favorites playlists. And will be sharing. Thank you you Gentlemen, very, Very much 😁
What an operation! Thank you for sharing. 👍
You really have a skill in summarizing technical information into plain language. I really appreciate it. Thanks
That was incredibly interesting! Great tour! Thanks!
Great information. Thanks for sharing
Wow Burt is the Ultimate Soil Guy! Thanks for making this video Jason...so informative!!!
I'm so happy you found it useful - I always appreciate his help!
And his sense of humor 😀
Thank you Jason! And of course Bert 😄 This was so so interesting! Your chosen content of this yt channel is just pure gold for us keen gardeners...of any sort 😀🌱 Again thank you
Thanks so much for the encouragement Linda!
👍
Thanks again Jason for your informative video 👍 Knowledge is power 🌹
Wow, very generous knowledge sharing indeed! It’s very rare to find a “dirt guy” like him though (or a place that sell these products here in Northern CA). So I will be still counting on your sharing Jason. You are the best! 👍👍🙏🙏🌹🌹❤️
Love your tour of the soil production company!!
one of the most informative videos I've seen in a while
So much knowledge and still interesting for an amateur to better understand the product you get when buying plants.
Super interesting 🤔 Thanks Jason! 🍀🌺🌸🦢🌸🌺🍀
So much interesting information. Didn't know there is so much that can go into a potting mix. Thanks for this video!
I once shuttled the various products to the different plants for Scott's lawn it's more complicated than most would imagine.
Very informative and straightforward, thank you
Thank you for making this video. It was very interesting and educational.
Love your field trips! Very educational and interesting.
Thank you for such an educational video. I need to watch again when I’ve programmed my mind to catch info rather than just look at pretty pictures. I already know that I’ll be a bigger pain for retailers as I ask more detailed questions before purchasing!
Yes. Tell him I said thanks. And thank you for the video. Job well done.
You bet. Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU ,most educational facts about the soil and the production technology . Very interesting ! Thank You again 🌲🌲🌲
Wow! I learnt so much! Thank you, that was really interesting to watch, and so educational! What a knowledgeable man!! Incredible
Thanks Suzanne!
This was very informative....Thank You and God bless
Great Great Video Jason. Thanks.
The chap in the yellow vest gave a great tour and explained great in detail the different mixes. It was very knowledgeable and a must hear especially for new to gardening people giving great insight to compost and different levels in each product I would love to see best uses in small home gardens you showed a really great and very interesting video well done to you and the factory rep in the yellow vest I hope you can do a small garden job with the compost uses and ask the tour guide in factory to give his insight with you also. Home gardening is becoming more popular especially among the older generation like myself in my 60s learning to grow vegetables thank you so much
Top notch tour and video! Very educational.
Lots of great info! Thanks for this!
We learned a very smart information from you Jason, very awesome video.👍
Really good useful information here. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! Very good to know. I can say, that I really miss the real soil. I live in hot Greece and the common potting mixtures with all those fabrics become useless when hit by strong sun. I buy local mix or substrate for succulents (which is expensive).
Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Wow this was such an informative video. Thanks
That was awesome! Thanks very much!
Brilliant video 👏👏👏. Some great information and has really taught me alot regarding the manufacture of compost and soils. Will be recommended this video to the grows down my allotment. Thank you. Watching from across the pond 🏴. Robbo 👍💯
Wow, this was such a helpful and enlightening video. Never even thought about coco coir being high in salt content but it makes perfect sense
Very creative video. Thank you for sharing.
I'll echo the praise. Fantastic video!
Wow. Very informative. Thanks!
Wow there's way more to dirt than just dirt! Super informative guy.😎👍
so much information and tips thank you for enlightening this gray area of gardening
I'm glad you found it useful Angelo.
Thank you for making this video.
My pleasure Jenne.
Great video! Thank you for sharing...
This was great. Thanks for taking us along on the tour.
My pleasure!
Thank you for this video it is a wealth of information
Very interesting! Thank you!
I learned so much in fifteen minutes.
Pretty interesting video, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing😊
My pleasure Jan. Thanks for watching
LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Extremely informative!
I learned so much. Thank you. As a small purchaser I struggle to understand which is the best potting mix to purchase and whether to buy enhancements and a cheaper matrix (eg. manures and then a coir, peat or wood based medium for bulk) or purchase potting mix with added nutrients. I wish the bagged mixes offered the same detailed information that Burt's company provides professional growers. Such a good idea you had for this video Jason!
Thanks Wendy!
Thanks for a behind the scenes look at soil
great, great knowledge
So cool! Really interesting!
Thanks Ryan.
thank you, very enlightening. regards from a garden center's seller who sells pretty much what was shown in this video.
This was super interesting! Wonderful video with so much useful information, Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much for this video. As I keep trying to improve my growing soil, both in pots and in the ground, this helps me understand how to do that. I’m hoping you have a video on how to make your own potting mix at home that coincides with this information. Thanks.
Highly interesting video, I learned a lot Thanks!
Great content, thank you.
Fascinating! People need to understand soil and potting medium more, myself included. I love pumice and how lucky you are to have a bulk supplier nearby! Currently, in much of N America and particularly the NE, the issue is invasive jumping worms (Amynthas sp) coming inside of much of commercial soil media - soil, manure, compost, mulch, castings products - whether bagged or bulk.
Super informative and enlightening!
Thanks April
Gracias amigo. Saludos desde Perú
very interesting and informative video Thank you!
Really interesting, many thanks again
really interesting...thanks!
thanks for sharing!! Very interesting.
Interesting & informative, even to a hobby gardener here in the UK.
Interesting, thank you for sharing.
I would be so incredibly grateful if you put together a "grow kit" for those of us that have watched these videos and still aren't sure what to do in order to give our roses the best start. Particularly for roses being grown in containers. Just a "starter kit" with potting soil and any amendments would be so amazing! Please consider it.
I like fields trips! Thanks.
That was an amazingly good and useful video. So much information! Over the years I’ve bought all sorts of different soil mixes for container growing and for my garden and have never known all the ingredients and their properties. Thank you for putting the video together. Your behind the scenes videos (2?) are information rich.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely look for more opportunities for these kinds of tours
highly informative.
cheers
Jason, you are knocking it out of the park on titles and thumbnails 👏👏👏
Thanks Peter!
Great info, thanks!!
Great video. 👍
I guess I never considered the scale of some of these large Potting mix operations. To see the large piles of coir, pumice, bark, and other ingredients, and especially that "year's worth of peat" emphasizes the money tied up in individual materials and how they have to be prepared before they go into the potting mixes. A very enlightening video!
I’ve learned so much thank you!
Happy to hear it Kimberly - thanks for watching.
Here in the S.E., Soil3 has compost available in the cubic yard bags. Just got my second one delivered. Mixed with pine fines (lots of that available here) makes a good potting mix. Cheap mixes yield poor results, good compost is black gold. I use it in the garden, in pots & mixed to grow on potted plants.
Nice tour!
WOW SO MUCH TO LEARN. SO MUCH TO KNOW. MAKE WANT TO START BUYING SOIL MIX. JUST TO BE SAFE.
THANK YOU
That was very interesting I had always wondered how they did it
Awesome Video!
great video - thanks
