Yah :::::: now I’m going to buy or make my own compost ——-to add to all my gardens instead of buying new soil mix — thanks so much 2024 in March
-
This is my second year of growing a vegetable garden. I have watched many of your posts last year and watching them again will definitely help me to do better this year! Your time, knowledge and detailed explanations are greatly appreciated!
-
I just bought a large bag of vermiculite because someone said it retains nutrients. And the bag says it too. But I just checked Mel's square foot gardening book, and it only says it retains water. Great video! I purchased your book recently.

I've always seen soil as being what I have as the base material in my garden. I then add things to make it perform in the manner desired. Thankfully, the two garden's I've occupied over the past 32 years have been blessed with at leat 18" of organic rich loam. Prior to that, my garden was clay & rather than sand. I added huge amounts of organic matter (2 tons of well rotted cow manure over 40' x 15' annually) & within three years, had a workable soil which produced excellent crops.

Thanks for this video. It explains why my recently created kitchen garden filled with purchased soil (to have a weedless garden) failed to hold water during drought, that plants grew poorly, and tomato stakes fell over. Following year I added soil from my old vegetable garden (has lots of clay) and resulted in great crop.

This is probably the most useful & informative video I ever seen about growing plants
-
On preparing new beds. I don't remove weeds or rotovate. I place a layer of corrugated cardboard over the weeds/pasture, then place 3" of compost on top & when ready, plant through both

I drove truck for years and would go to where peat moss was harvested and the plant bagging this had been there for over 40 years and there was hardly a dent in the overall bog where this peat moss came from. Coconut coir has to have machinery to grind up the coir and then this is flown or shipped thousands of miles overseas and then thousands of miles again over land to end up in your garden. Coir doesn't make sense of being a greener product except in a form of fake elitist attitude.

Great job of explaining principles to amateurs.
-
Thank you - this was a sensational tutorial! The previous owners of my house were so anxious to put flower beds in that the cheaped out and put in that junky “bargain bag that says SOIL but it’s just pallet wood, twinges and clods” stuff. And we’re at the base of a mountain….so GRANITE rocks, too. Sigh. But I’m slowly digging up that mess by hand and your detailed info has bolstered my courage to do the right thing with my beds, soil wise. Happy gardening, all!!!

Hi there I am starting a new bed and was watching your video. I live in Hamilton Ontario not too far from you if I want to fill in my raised bed with soil and compost can you give me your preferred brand for both or a supplier that I can get the material I need 1.5 yards
