    We water ours once every other day in the morning and the plants seem to love it. Water more if you’re in a dry climate.
    You also can go without perlite or vermiculite.
    Feeding your plant is essential, make sure to add fertilizer in small amounts every two weeks or larger volume once a month

    Keep up the good work,
    All of your videos carry some sort of import information for those who want the most yield with the least amount of resources consumed, bless your garden and family. Coco coir and compost for the win
    I know the perlite makes the soil airy and loose as well, your carrots must love it.
    Remember perlite acts as a aerator and helps slowly release water, vermiculite acts as a sponge and helps the soil hold moister, so I mix perlite with the soil and sprinkle a bit of vermiculite on top of the soil if I don’t have good quality mulch

      @@easygrows2699 From Canada.
      We have an enormous amount of remote peatland that will never be accessed in northern Manitoba especially.
      In cultivated parts of our farming regions peat is a nuisance as wheat grows best in heavy soil and machines "bog" down in peat.
      The part that companies like SunGrow and Premeir do is repair and flood the bogs they have harvested.
      There are laws governing their actions.
      They hire Canadian workers and pay good wages unlike third world coconut workers.
      No long ocean voyages in oil fueled ships either, a short train trip gets us our moss and this is important as a big part of peats cost is transportation.
      So, rather than farmers soaking peat bogs with diesel fuel and burning it, it gets harvested, packaged and used by Canadian gardeners.
      If you live in a law less country that harvests peat irresponsibly then of course purchase whatever you want but here peatmoss is ethically harvested.
