  • Hello gardeners! In this video we are talking healthy soils - how to revive and restore soil and how to maintain it. Healthy, active, well-draining soil is the foundation for a successful garden, thus soil prep is the most important step in gardening. In this video JLBG/PDN Founder Tony Avent busts some common gardening myths, such as adding peat moss, scheduled fertilizer applications, mulching with pine straw, compost myths, and more.

    Appears that perma till product is local. Any suggestions for a similar product for gardeners more north of you? I’ve been using poultry grit which is a fine granite product. Appreciate your help. 🙏 thank u!

      Pumice rock is a good alternative, it is porous and pH neutral.

    Is it generally true that the red clay is zinc deficiencent?

      High pH soils are often Zinc deficient. The only way to find out the composition of your soil is to do a soil test.
