+Myrtha Gunter Wow what a great day you had!! It is especially nice that y'all work together in the garden❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU! So many folks get a houseplant or potted plant, and for some reason it dies. Then they toss the plant AND soil out, and keep the empty pot. Folks, dirt ain't dirt cheap no more! Save it! Reuse it! Improve it! Follow the seasons and reasons the Lord has given us: Winter when most things are dormant and resting, Spring when things are first SPRINGING up, Summer when things are in full production and really thriving, and Fall when things are slowing down and the deciduous leaves FALL back to earth to replenish the soil. It's the cycle and circle of Life 🔁 Use and respect what God has given you, and you will never be found wanting. 😇 Thank you Mr. Hollis and Mrs. Nancy for sharing your knowledge with anyone who has the eyes to see and ears to hear, and the willingness put their hands and hearts into what God gave us.

I use a small electric concrete mixer instead of a wheel balloon and shovel for mixing. Makes about 5 gal at a time and no aching back.

Get yourself a compost tumbler and add all your ingredients then tumble. Put your wheelbarrow under trap door and open. All mixed.

Hollis and Nancy Thank YOU so much for your free video and your time. Everyone, please donate to this FREE awesome information so they can continue to give us advice. Hollis and Nancy answer really fast too most time.

When you mentioned reclaimed soil, I thought you were going to take a shovel and go get the soil that your neighbor took from you. Thanks for the informative video. We do something similar. We also add Azomite.

I empty all of my used Container soil from the previous year into a Kiddy swimming pool and mix it all in there. I filled my containers from there which is a giant Is a wheelbarrow really. Before I mix it all I add the pearl light the bone meal the blood meal And some fertilizer. Your videos are awesome! And believe it or not people think that gardening is for cupcakes but if they really knew all the heavy lifting Of those bags and shoveling Of the dirt and the a moving of the containers that is done they wouldn't think that. I invite anybody to come and help and see what they think afterwards! Thanks so much for your videos and I understand now why your wife video tapes them because you can't do that while you're working

The 2 of you are such a wonderful Blessing to the young gardeners that are starting their gardening journey and to us that have did a little bit of gardening here and there over the years.the way you break it down what you do & why you do it without it sounding overwhelmingly complicated is a blessing & all I can say is thank you for the time & effort that it takes to make these videos.

Thank you! I am doing this in the spring time.

Beautiful scripture verses at the end, thanks.

Great information Hollis, thank you!

Thanks easy-to-follow video that I can do myself well appreciated

Thank you! The most informative video on reconditioning soil.

I am going no-till, leaving the container soil in place, plant my soil with another family of plants than the previous one and top-dress with a slow release fertilizer. Am just rotating. Less hauling stuff around, mixing, stirring. Looking for preserving the soil structure and less disturbance of the microbes that maintain it.

Amen blessed days to you too!

Hey Hollis and Nancy just wanted to come back to this. I’m new to gardening (started 2 years ago) so I used this method. I have to tell you that my plants absolutely love it!

Thank you so much for sharing your given time in such a warm and welcoming way!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I enjoy your channel and love the way that you’re sowing the seeds of The Word of God right alongside the seeds in the soil. May the words you post fall on fertile soil, every one. I must say though, that in all my years of gardening, I’ve yet to buy a bag of anything to mix in to The Lord’s soil. I *do* use a lot of compost and wood ash from our wood stove, and my yields have always been abundant, Praise God!🙏🏻 I know that soil quality differs widely from place to place, and we’ve been blessed with rich, dark earth here in these mountains, and I know that the mineral content in it is high. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t needed additives yet.... Blessings to you both! Love and All Good Things, Jesse.🌹

I used an old medium sized kids pool and dumped all my container soil in it. I also put in peat moss, manure, 10-10-10- fertilizer worm castings and home made compost and mixed it up with a shovel. Man that's the best container soil I've ever had!

I just keep the soil in the pots over the winter and in April dump them all in the old kids pool and add all the amendments that I mentioned above. You can add whatever you want as well. This was a huge success and I will continue to do it in the years to come. The Tomatoes that I grew in them were the best container plants I ever grew. I think adding the peat moss was great because it helps a little to contain the moisture. It will certainly revive the old soil.
