Funny thing there, I remember when everything came in a brown paper bag. Then, the environmentalists said that we were cutting our forest too fast and we needed to switch to plastic. Even though companies like Georgia Pacific treated their tree farms as crops and harvested and planted sustainably. I am old enough to remember global freezing, cooling, ozone, and acid rain, "the earth has a fever," and now clomate change. I agree on the plastic. We use it too much. I guess you need to follow the money. Guess I had to vent a little. 👍👍
Good venting. However it is not just about money. It is disruption to help gain political power. There is nothing wrong with plastic or paper. I don't want to write a dissertation on it.....
Just so long as most of us fall for it and give up our freedoms and money to fight climate change.
Wearing a mask/ respirator mixing perlite in particular, but good with the rest of amendments as well , is a good idea. If you get tired of looking at & messing with perlite, rice hulls do the same thing w/o the dust, & provide silicon as well.
Where do you get your rice hulls?
I have a local source, the pb brand is very good due to low salts in test results.
@@jayweiss602 but what kind of source is it? I can only find it online and the cost makes it a poor substitute for perlite
Yeah that's going to come back on her in 10 to 15 years sadly, especially if it's something they do every year. Plus saw dust. Noticed that with a lot of other habits they have. It's been 4 years already since they started it seems so another 10 and it will start to show. Pneumoconiosis, dust or black lung, is still a big problem in a lot of industries like this.
Hopefully it's only on film day they don't wear masks for it.
I love the big mixer, I am à retired heavy equipment operator and I noticed that you are good operators, thanks for teaching us how to make good soil !
Canadian peat moss is highly regulated and as sustainably harvested as it can get. Canada has tons of peat bogs and only a tiny fraction is harvested.
This is what I call a real woman . Damn hard worker
Em. The thing I love about your channel is that I learn something new with every single video. It doesn’t matter if it is your grandfather sharpening blades, or the mill, or soil, or making charcoal, or delivering firewood there’s always something new; It’s the most refreshing channel on RUclips.
Well done you’re getting much better. Wonderful video.
Your customers are lucky to have folks like you around to do this kind of hard work. The soil mix looks like a good one.
You did a real good job girl
Great Work enjoying the positive energy and information
Can't learn enough! Thanks!!!
Your excellent attitude puts you in line for good fortune!
Love you're enthusiasm and your love for what you do , You guys do a great job
So, just FYI, perlite is used for drainage, not water retention. Also for aeration.
Vermiculite is for water retention...
Now, the Kelp is a great idea....
Emerald and jade you guys are so intelligent on what you do. keep up the amazing work
Great video you’re the best!
This might just inspire me to start growing plants again.
THANK YOU PRECIOUS LADY FOR YOUR POWERFUL CREATING 💖❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊
Good timing on the growing season.
Thanks for sharing 🍸
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
I just adore the enthusiasm you have for what you do. creating things, functional thing out of raw material is awesome. The topsoil is extra awesome because of the many potential plants that will grow in it, and the benefit those have for people!
This is what I enjoy doing,, Love to watch my plants flourish as the season progress..Love how you mix the lumber with the compost channel,,
your one of my favourite channels
Thank you for your videos, absolutely amazing, informative, and your performance is outstanding… you’re a flawless beauty ❤
Just planted Marigolds and Carrots today. Great video. Your local customers are so lucky having you close by. Happy planting everyone! 😊
Great job with the mixing like having a giant fork. Its planting time hope you have plenty of product. Excellent job ladies thank you for sharing.👍♥️♥️
Awesome video!
Another great additive is cotton seed meal. It’s a staple in our raised beds and plants love it.
It's just amazing how informed you are about the hazards of pesticides and toxins in our soils Emerald! I love that y'all are making such gloriously natural potting soil. Haha and yes I hate that everything comes in plastic as well and try and keep reusing plastic wraps and bags as much as I can 😄
Nice video, good job
We do the same only difference is we also run a beef farm so I mix the compost with the black hunny I’ll call it a mix it around for six months talk about making things grow
Right on. Awesome use of a waste product…Boss Man.
what's black hunny?
@@gkindustrialmachine1 it’s cow manure
@@NorthernMichiganSaweyer I'm a city boy...what do I know! ty
@@gkindustrialmachine1 it’s all good
Clover I had a grass all the way up to all the way up to dry beads to peanuts keeps the soil healthy lots of peanuts lots of lentils
Great job 👏 👍 🙌 ❤
TY, Young Lady!!!!!
Very cool. As a gardener, I have been making my own soil for probably decades now. I like how you do it. Much larger scale than me. But mostly the same ingredients. Haven't tried kelp yet...
Looks great
Thanks so much outstanding ❤❤❤❤❤
Cool..... Thank You all
Just noticed she has a Bob Vila vibe to her presentation. Pretty cool.
Nice video!
Buy another live log deck to use as a greenchain!!! Then hade can edge on end of it !!!you need 20’ between decks. Pile lumber between the live decks and on there side of greenchain !!! Install 2’ lumber stops on the end. The greenchain can hold an hr of sawing! Easy.
You may have the best potting soil!
Holy that's 2 videos this week!!!
I like nice , rich soil to grow things in . !
if the pete comes in a compressed bail. the 3cu ft that expands to around 50gal, body slam the bail before you open it and it will be clump free. the rule of ish will apply. also look into teaming with microbes and learn as much as you can about the soil food web. plus remember that liquid water sofner will seperate your soil and allow you to see and measure the ratios of sand pete ect. also a good way to boost earth worms is to add castings that contain eggs.
Good advice for gardening.
Great video. Think I would add a bit of ground basalt rock but otherwise spot on advice. Tha nks Emerald.
Every man on the planet dreams of women like you. ✌️💚💪
It's the Nematodes that make it tasty and delicious !
and if you don't rotate it regularly (in huge piles like that) it'll catch fire... seen it at a nursery in Northern Virginia.. it was a great cash source for that business too... soil and mulch, we couldn't keep mulch in stock, we had 4 -24' single axle dump bed trucks for deliveries...it wasn't high profit net, but it was a good cash supplier
Good looking potting soil great job mixing hope you're day is blessed.
Improvement on mixing if you had a pass through bunker. Mix from both sides.😊
Making anything from scratch takes a lot of this and that, and a lot of stirring!
Charcoal in that compost as you make it ,will be a great additive
Dust Kills! Wear a mask, Em. I know everybody else already said this but here's another vote.
Best yet. Absolutely loved this! How much for a scoop in my pick up?
😅. . . Did I ever tell you about the time I went backpacking in the hills of western Europe? It was so dusty! I had to wear a bandana!
I loved this.
I miss getting my hands in good soil for planting.
This is becoming more and more professional, you sound like David Attenborough, the life of nematodes...
Anyway, in Europe, ulla fertilizer is sold for 10 bucks for a big bag.
Pine and Spruce Needles are high acidic material also... Just in case you didn't know this.
If we lived closer we would definitely buy your products
I used to raise rabbits, lots of them, collected their smart pills and mixed in soil when setting out tomatoes always had bumper crop of "maters" and okra too! we tried kelp liquid did not do as well to pricey for me.
Nice!
Emerald, Do you use any of this soil at home in your own gardens ? Maybe GrandPa has some veggies he likes to grill for the family ? Might be a selling point to encourage customers that it's really rich in nutrients for their gardens ?
We use perlite as an insulator in a vacuum jacketed tank that holds LNG at cryogenic temperature. Didn’t know that it could enrich soil. When our perlite is exposed, though, we are in respirators and long sleeved clothing to protect against any skin and pulmonary irritation.
Could that be partly because of the LNG? The LNG is about -260F.....
@@scottsoper No. The perlite is inside the vacuum jacket that surrounds the tank in which the LNG is stored. The perlite cannot be accessed unless the LNG has been removed from the tank and vacuum broken in the jacket. By then, the temperature is no longer cryogenic.
Good job kid-o
If you want the basic mixture to be more acidic, add some coffee grounds the worms really really like it.
Apparently, it is possible to grow even orange on this soil. Especially when it is stirred so diligently🙂. (Hi from Belarus. Harry Davidson).
Good job everything looks GREAT ❤HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND 📹👌👍😉FROM🇨🇦
Iodine and ocean salts in the kelp. Must smell a bit of ocean aroung the compost.
If I ever make it up that way ✌️💚💪
They need to make a big quick-attach spoon you can stir that dirt with.
It's not video-friendly, and maybe you're not doing enough of it to be a really big deal, but it would be better to wear a breath mask when adding some of your ingredients, especially the perlite. One other thing you might consider is a 5-lb bag of sugar, which is very beneficial for plant growth. Best of luck with your potting soil business!
Have the Boss, your Dad start training you on the big logged equipment In the field ? As backup operators, you never know what you'll be needed out there ! 😮😊
Lots of phosphorus phosphorus fuel lots of line to break it down lots of potassium rotten bananas makes a healthy thing lots of eggshells coffee grinds and earthworms lots of decomposing food helps the earth Burns it also helps your fish in the pond and River I feed my fish leftover scraps from all the restaurants my catfish really love it I jumped all the leftover food into the pond and lake and rivers and bays my catfish love it it's a catfish day for the pond
Kelp does have salts in it and heavy metals try alfalfa
Love seeing all the things you and Jade do. Your home education is far more than basic. You expertise is evident, aside from being led by Mom n Dad in the ways of logging. I wonder, how much is your own creation?
Tomato in half a cherry tomato and half from the store you grill a bunch of cherry tomatoes yes it works find out yourself same with a bell pepper same with a hot pepper seed it will work but you cannot grow hot peppers with tomatoes so pick one or the other
You can buy the coconut coir online
What you are showing the public is so important. You have demonstrated the best form of carbon capture. You cut down trees and use the good parts, and the rest turn into dirt that stays in the ground. The best part is that it opens more space to grow more trees to suck more co2 out of the atmosphere. The only question I have is, have you looked into the level of arsenic in the Kelp Amendment? I know its natural but alot of seaweed amendments and compost have high levels of arsenic.
It would take a bit of study for me to truly get a handle on what would be considered a "high level of arsenic" in the soil. These days, even vary small amounts can be detected. I remember that my hometown was all worried over something like 3 parts per billion of arsenic or some such thing in the town's well water. It had been there all along but now it could be measured and made a big deal of.
Em, where is your good knife that you used to have in a holster on your belt? Another good video about something that I knew very little about.
I hope you will consider making and adding biochar to your planting mix. A high temperature biochar reactor wouldn't take up much space in your yard, could heat your drying kiln, and the added value as a soil amendment and long term carbon capture process is well worth looking into. A positive on climate change. Thanks for all the great videos you've been making!
They do make charcoal from time to time; would that be similar? However I would not be adding that to the soil unless there was some specific chemical in the soil I was trying to capture. I do not worry about carbon capture or climate change, as so called science has gotten many to believe in for political reasons.
Wow, very cool
Good looking stuff. Do you sell it by the bag?
Good one young lady. Love how you say "yard". Y'all take care up yonder. 👍✌
Maybe just a hint of New England in Emeralds taaaak. These folks work hard at whatever they do. Seem like sincere people. Need more of them today😊😊😊
@@ronallen6578 I agree.
Vermiculite is better for water retention.
Perlite helps soil not compress and drainage.
What is your present work knife, Em? I've seen a number of different knives over the years.
Are you able to repurpose all of your saw dust into compost?
Here’s something to think about - colored mulch. I’m in West Michigan and it’s a popular item here.
Colored mulch is a joke
I would like to see you put in a small garden in the log yard.
They plant flowers in four garden planters; two on each side of the main driveway.
Waste of space
Em, just curious what brand pocket knife you carry? Thx
Guau que bien ☺️
Emerald........ When you are spreading chemistry additives a respirator is advised. The airborne dust is in the microns size particulate range. They like to attach to the lung walls. This was the effect that folks at ground zero expirenced on a much higher scale after 911. Carter Canada
No use, she was told the same many times with the last compost video a year ago, people don't care about lungs until they start losing functionality
Nice. One thing - I do agree with some others here, please use a mask when handling perlite, especially since you seem to be using the pretty fine grade. Perlite is basically small particles of volcanic glass, and if it goes inside your lungs, it's not going to be good. Keep up the good work otherwise!
Wear a mask girl !! Great job !! From Waiuku NZ
Question. Today your carrying a folding blade knife, what is it?
Emerald I think you just discovered a whole new way to make cake batter
Natural alternatives to toxins ...love it👍💪🐛🐛
Thanks beautiful
Anymore surprises on things that ya’ll do.
