We did it!! We did it!! We purchased all four of these items, mixed them together, placed moist soil in containers, and planted some seeds in this homemade fertilizer. It has been a week, and some of the seeds have sprouted. We are waiting for them to get a certain size before transplanting them into the ground or larger containers. We just wanted to say....thank you and God bless you!!
Good luck,I started my very first container garden 17 days ago,20 (5) gallon buckets of various vegetables,it's really an interesting hobby... New Jersey....
Do you recall how expensive it was? I’m a beginner planter and want to start getting into it [:
Peat moss is not soil
You should add least 3 backs of blackKow that's to much peat moss I did that last month, that would won't retain water to much peatmoss
For real, you are my FAVORITE gardener! Your content is excellent and you’ve given me hope that maybe I can grow something this summer. 😄
Thank you sooo much Family!!! What are you growing this summer? Thank you for watching!!💚🌱
I don’t like cow maure because it’s not for sure if the cows were fed hay that is sprayed with harmful chemicals
Love your videos🤗 and thank you, this was very helpful. Just subscibed. I have clay soil and need to amend it. After I follow your steps do I have to wait for a couple of days or can I immediately start planting seeds?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! You can start planting seeds immediately. Thank you for stopping by and subscribing!!!💚🌱
I add an 🥚 egg and 🪱 worms to my soil or container...
Hows that working for you???
I had always thought I was a plant killer. This soil mix could turn anyone's thumb green. That's it, you did it man. I can grow plants!! Thank you.
This is ancient wisdom, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Fam!!! Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
A tip I heard is to pre moisten your peat moss/cocoir because it might go to your eyes and lungs which is bad although this is optional
You are very correct
You are buying everything you are using,I thought it's from scratch
Thank you! Would this work in Arizona summer heat?
Why wouldn't it???
This was super easy to follow. Thanks so much. Im definitely subscribing! 😊
Great video! This is what I use in my own soil. I prefer to make my own as well, not only is it more affordable, but you know whats going into it. You know what your getting. Thanks for the great content!
Very true 👍🏾 👌🏾 👏🏾
The CLEAREST explanation. Subscribed!
What’s the ratio of each ingredient when you just want to make less soil for your containers
Ratios are somewhat overrated,just eyeball it,it's all trial and error or just go by what he did on a lower scale...
Hi bro, I’m not interest in using black cow. What other alternatives
Why not???
Thank you for sharing
Right on time. We'll be planting our melons soon too. Peet moss has been hard to find, so I appreciate this knowledge you just dropped young brother! Shalom(peace)
Thank you Family!!! Thank you for stopping by and watching!!! Shalom💚🌱
Just started my gardening adventure and found your videos! Super helpful!
I was wondering can I use this mix for potted plants and what is the different between the in ground soil vs potted soil?
Bagged soil is free of bugs parasites and roots. As well as having a predetermined ph level. Natural soil may need treated to get the ph level where ya want it. Also it may have roots and bufs
Yes you can. It’s pretty much a container mix. Perlite adds good air flow for the roots and the moss hold water.
The difference is texture. I personally don’t use peat moss and perlite for my ground soil i only use it in containers. I just use cow manure, top soil, native soil, worm castings and some slow release organic fertilizer for my ground soil.
I just recently started watching your videos and I love them. Last year I had a total fail year of growing anything other than flowers. This year you have made me slightly better. 😆
That is 3 Cubic feet of Peat moss. Should I use 3 cubic feet of Black cow or does 1 bag/1 Cubic feet is enough to grow. When I mixed this, it looks like there is too much peatmoss. Thank you.
Wonderful video!
However, as to peat moss ... this is a product that takes a very, very long time to make. It's not an industrial product, it's dug out of the ground from Pete bogs. These bogs take hundreds of years to produce the peat that's not only used in soil, but that is still used as bricks in parts of Ireland to heat fires. In some small villages, it's the main source of fire "wood". Also, Peat is a main source of flavoring for some of the world's best whiskey/scotch.
Yes, it's a renewable resource, but it takes 10s if not 100s of years to produce. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be mass produced. And when it's gone, it's gone for perhaps a hundred years or more.
A better solution is cocoa coir.
There are tones of cocoa products from coconut in many forms, to cocoanut oil, and last to the leftovers that are cocoanut coir.
It's compressed and you can take slices as needed. It will rehydrate, amend the soil for water retention, provide nutrients, and Is many times more sustainable than peat moss. It's even acceptable for some reptile habitats.
STOP using Pete Moss!
If there is something in particular in Pete Moss that your soil needs, figure out what it is and then amend with alternatives. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't use Pete Moss.
Yes, it's a renewable, but only after a hundred or so years.
Vermiculite is a darker, more expensive, more organic looking version of perlite (which looks like bits of styrofoam but is volcanic rock).
I LOVE your videos.
Love your videos. Do you cover your container of soil or do you leave it uncovered?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! We just leave it uncovered. Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
Good question 👍
@@theprolificfamilystead I’m afraid the squirrels and I think caterpillars or whatever it is will eat the leaves. It happened before. I plant on my deck. I love your videos and they are easy to follow. I also don’t know how often to water them. God bless you!
Love your videos. I have learned so much from watching. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Pffff....to make your own soil you gottta buy stuff? No thank you. I'll make soil the natural way.
Any ballpark idea what ph of this mix is? I have got to start making my own. Store bought mix is breaking me.
use the 1/3 ratio of peatmoss aeration and compost /worm casting and a half cup a nutrients per cf of soil you make😁😁😁
Thank you so much.. learning greatly off your videos.
Thank you sooo much Family!!! Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
The soil will be especially good after 6 months when you'll have lots of grubs and things living in it!
Personally , i would Opt for a coarser Grade of Perlite . It breaks down over Time
I was "gifted" with a whole colony of quack grass from some prepackaged chicken compost last year.
I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable. Where do you get most of your storage containers? Do you find them on Craigslist, or cath them on sale?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! We got them from Home Depot. They are super expensive now. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
@@theprolificfamilystead good deal. Thanks for the fast response. I have a few, but I want to do some more in containers for the versatility.
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. I hope you keep making them. I'm going to get started on my garden.
black soil purify perlite🌳🌳 cleanse it natural soil 🌳🌳🌳
You make it simple...but I am not sure of the amounts of each I need.....
Mixing your own is the way to go! If I have compost I use that instead of Black Kow but both work great.
I've made my own soil twice since i first watched your video! & my garden is flourishing.. how should i store the soil? & do you have tips for keeping bugs from eating my Cabbage, Kale, and Broccoli?
I heard 100% cold pressed Neem oil is pretty good..
Hi I looked at the prices in making my own soil like you have in your video but it is too expensive here in New Zealand. The cost is $122.00. Is there a cheaper way I can make my own good soil?
The cheapest top soil,the cheapest cow manure,rabbit manure or chicken manure or make your own compost from kitchen scraps and you might not need the peat moss but the peat moss help with the drainage,your other nutrients can come from a bunch of banana peels soaked in water and let it sit for a few days then pour it into the soil,keep watching RUclips there's a ton of information,good luck.... New Jersey (USA)
Great video as always. I know you gave top soil as a cheap alternative to peat moss but can I please ask that you encourage people to not use peat moss as it is devastating for the environment. I understand its uses and it took me a while to stop using it as it gives good results but could you please look into what effect it has on the environment so you can see what I mean. Many thanks.
Thank you Family!!! Coconut coir is also great alternative for peat moss. We will definitely look into that Family. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
How does it hurt the environment???
@@mercedesbenzs600bash Because peat bogs take centuries to form. But coconut coir is a useful waste product from coconuts.
@@brianmatthews4323 Much appreciated 🙏🏾
All Praises to The Most High!! This video was right on time! I’m currently using Harvest Organic soil and my plants have only been growing 2-3 inches or have stunt their growth and some just died off I spent $150 for 17 bags wasted money! Thank you my brother this was very edifying! God bless you
And that's why RUclips is so valuable...
Thanks for this vid, explains alot, the whole starter soil, container soil, raised bed, potting, top, mulch, compost etc confusing to new gardener. I know our ancestors /grandparents didn't shop for soil. 😉
You know they didn't,lol,I'm thinking they used dirt and manure and I'm not to sure the manure was aged,they were remarkable and resourceful people,they got it done with whatever t they had....
New subscriber here!
Going to mix mine this way first time gardner thank you
Unfortunately here in PA that bag of peat moss is $40+ dollars so it isn’t so cheap here to make your own soil
So how did you make your soil,what did you use???
Can you just use regular ground soil(dig it up) and put in planter boxes? Should you add peet moss etc too it? Beginner.
The dirt plus everything else he used...
What exactly is Black Cow?
It's cow manure
Would this mixer grow grass seeds???
Love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing 🌿🌼🍃
Thank you so much! And can I find all these at Home Depot?
Yes
Welp, I wish I would have watched this first… I didn’t use the whole bag of peat moss…. 🤦🏽♀️

Does Coco Bliss Coir already all these?

Watched 20 other vids, this is the one that told me why all the top soil bags are labeled "For lawn repair and hole filling only" because it has no nutrients and they don't want people complaining, "Hey, your dirt killed my plants!"

Where did you get those metal etching tags tho? Those are perfect.
Very inspirational stuff Bro! Very Rich and Knowledgeable.
Thanks for the post.

My friend and I are grateful that you saved us $$. Thank you for the useful knowledge🤗
That’s a great idea, thanks so much.
What do you think about using fish...for fruit tress etc. Thanks.
Plants Love Fish Fertilizer!!! Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
I wish I had that bin for mixing up big batches like that. The zone I'm in I have to start my plants all indoors under lights then transfer them outside in the summer. So, I'm doing what you are, just inside my house during the winter, but in smaller batches. Peat moss is acidic too, so having some lime in your mix wouldn't be a bad idea either, depending on what you are growing of course.
Dude, you have a beautiful family
Great video bro! I just got ingredients today to make my own soil, for the first time! As you stated, much cheaper that route!
Nice video!… Appreciate you posting this…… Great job!!!!
Best gardener on RUclips! I love to mix my clay soil with sand and perlite to get better drainage and buff up for pots of plants. Coco peat is a must as well! Will have to try peat moss ! Thank u
I stumbled across your channel through a Facebook short. great video and information. looks like I'll be following you now.
nutrients food purity soil
I am curious how are you doing in your new home? I believe by now you and your family have settled quite nicely in your new home I am just anxious to see what you have planted so far. Much success in your new property and in your gardening. 🙏🙏💐☮️
Great video. We love watching your vids and TT. I'm always sharing with my fam. Keep it up 💯
peat moss prices have gone up over the last year it's 24$ for a 3 cubic ft bag any alternative
Yes it has. Just saw this at home Depot for $24. But he said you can use top soil as well. Much cheaper
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Those socks are everything.😂 Blessings ✌🏾🙏🏾
You a real one 💜🧘🏽♀️✨
I just bought that huge bag of Peat Moss for $13. I think I will be picking up one more before they're all gone. Perlite isn't in any big box stores where I live, so I had to purchase some off if Amazon for $8 for 2 bags. Thanks for sharing another great video!👍😊
Can I use this soil for my fruit trees. I just purchased my first fruit trees ( Soursop, dawf papaya, and banana trees. They arrive next and I was trying to research the best soil for them. Im so new to this. I don't want them to die as soon as they get to me. 🤒
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Sometimes I add sand, which retains a little liquid.
And you just erend a sup (I did not spell that right did I? ) Evey penny is something thx 😊
Why don't you use forest Biohumus and homemade vermicompost?
You can add sand and powdered stinging nettle to the mix
brown soil mulch
top soil how to make soil
Got two cantaloupe in pots right now doing pretty sweet with a mystery chilly too. Except I got rabbit and chicken manure for free from the neighbors. Great advice 👍
Peace family! Great video! I’m all about making your own! Great info!
You bought the soil.
Many soil recipes have you add some lime to raise the PH and add calcium, especially if you are using lots of peat moss in the recipe. Peat moss is acidic, so you;d need a small bit of lime. At least according to many people that make homemade soil recipes.
Now you said I can use top soil instead of peat moss but top soil is so much heavier so wouldn't I still need the peat moss so the soil will be fluffy so it drains better???
Loved this. Subscribed immediately after I felt your positive vibe
Okay, I'm heading out to buy your recipe.
At my age not a lot of time to waist, and for that as one reason, I subscribed. Thank you!
Bro is in gta now?
I have recently gotten into gardening after realising how easy it is to just grow my own things and not have to pay so much to feed myself and my rats
Do you need fertilizer if you use compost?
What else are using???
What is ratio
You are cool, man! I hope to have healthy plants after your advice.
I love how you explain everything for a gardening dummy like me. I am learning SO much! I'm in Wisconsin, so the weather is finally starting to get nice, we finally hit mid 70s so my growing season starts a bit later, well, I think it does lol. But I am learning!! You are amazing, thank you again for your vids and sharing what you know!!!
Would you suggest I use this mixture to spread over my Bermuda grass?
Hey I was wondering if you have a video on tomatoes, from seed to fruit?
I've just started my growing journey, my plants are all in the house so far but I get inspiration from your videos!
Love your content. I'd love to stop seeing people buy peat moss though. Do research on how destructive it is to harvest peat moss, it takes generations for a peat ecosystem to grow and they are essential to our survival because they pull high amounts of carbon from our air. We don't even need peat to have a successful set up.. so NO MORE PEAT! ❤
I feel like it is like the Christmas tree farming. I will google it but I will bet there are peat farms that produce for the market. 😅
This video is great! How do you store your seeds when you don'tuse them all?
This video bleeds genuine personality! I love it.
