I know we are talking about compost but the Doggies are so darn content and relaxed on a stranger..these are the best well behaved dogs ever..so sweet..🖤🤍🤎
They sounds like business partners not strangers to me🙂
Becca, you just continue to hit it out of the park with your content! Thank you for bringing such fun, creative, useful, informative information to us!
I like to use old soil to help build up low spots in my yard. I watch anywhere water might gather when it rains and anytime I have a pot of soil that is no good I dump it there. Takes a little time for grass to fill in, but it works in the long run. Being in Texas mosquitos are a big problem for us, so water gathering anywhere is just breeding ground for them.
Great information. Helpful and useful💚💚💚💚
Shota! Always good to see him. He has so much soil knowledge and I learn a lot.
I fill the holes in my lawn with old potting mix. I always have chipmunk holes, it’s a very old home with a bit of an up and down lawn, old soil does not go to waste here.
In Canada I ordered my biochar for my plants at the local hydroponics shop
Love waking up to a new de la plants video!!
Me too
Yes!
I like to fertilize with water soluble rock phosphate and sea weed extract during the growing season
Hi Shota! Thanks for the info!!!
Hi! Thanks for tuning in!
🌿Very interresting and informative video 😊
Bag of Biochar is easy to get in Canada, or at least, here in Québec. I can find it at some plant shops. I’ve been using it in my own soil mix for about 2 years now. It seems to do good for my plants so far 🙃 Before, I was using horticultural charcoal in my mix.
That is 2 very comfortable dogs right there 🤣🤣I really enjoyed this video, very informative 👏👏
Love the video. And the last little clip 😍😍
Love the lap dog accessories
What a wonderful surprise. I always enjoy your chats. Lots of good information. Thanks guys.
The stars of this episode are Shota and Leo
Haha “I’m gunna put a ton on”…. Here i go✨insert Mario kart sound🏎
Sea soil is my favorite soil ammendment to start off the growing season with
I started watching Growfully With Jenna on RUclips because she gardens in clay soil. She has some really great tips on gardening directly in the clay soil, how to till it, etc.
Wow, I learned so much from this! Next time my plants are due for repotting i'm going to get your soil mix!!
Absolutely loved this.
Really awesome questions and good information! I learned a lot!
Did you get Shota's opinion on what they delivered to you as compost? I'm still a little upset about that 😅 and I can't decide what's more impressive - Leo napping on Shota or Shota's arm being immobile for the longest part of the video 😄your dogs are the sweetest 😍
I don’t think I had it at that point or else I would have had him roast it 😂😂 I’m sure he would not like it lol
this was so helpful thank u sm
Wow! This was a really informative video. Thanks you two. I do have one question, though. Lots of soils have pumice or some other rock for drainage. Does it matter what kind?
We have rocky soil in my area, I'm constantly removing them but it's okay things still grow well in it
I have a lot of clay in the soil here. Getting water to run through unstead of pool up is a bit of a challenge...
💚💚
I really want to try your soil and Tank’s products. But the shipping is CRAZY EXPENSIVE!!!!! 😭😭😭 Anyway, I love learning from you and Shota🥰. Always a good time with y’all!
Yeah, it’s heavy so it’s more expensive to ship :/ thanks for watching!
2:06 I think there are several reasons to buy one compost over another, the most important ones being pH level and NPKC balance in relation to either gardening or tropical houseplants, as an acidic pH is important for tropical plants and different plants require different nutrients to thrive, also depending on your gardens natural soil and the fertilizer you plan to use. As for local compost I would also want to know whether it contained any amount of non-renewable materials or possibly non-biodegradable waste.
The best advice I can give is to get a test of your soil for your outside garden so you know what nutrient values you're dealing with. In terms of houseplants or raised beds, read the pH level and combined NPKC value of your soil mixture (minus the oxygen values). Then compare this information to the nutrients of your water and the fertilizer you're going to use, in relation to the requirements of the plants you want.
29:48 The most important difference between Biochar and Activated Charcoal is that Biochar is derived from organic matter, whereas general Activated Charcoal can partly come from non-biomass materials. However you can also get Activated Biochar, activated meaning a process wherein the surface area is greatly increased to allow more adsorption. So Biochar isn't better than Activated Charcoal, it's just more sustainable. But it's primarily made for agricultural use so we probably won't see it in a plant shop any time soon. I mean you can barely get Activated Charcoal anywhere as it is.
Those are definitely some common factors that people look into.
