Make your own GREENSTALK POTTING MIX and SAVE $$$

Yes I have used Promix for some of my green stalks, But I always have to amend it. So more recently, I have just been DIYing my own soil mix with amazing results.
Here is my recipe (fills approx. 2 original tiers)
5 gallons Cococoir or Peat Moss (I actually use leaf mold)
5 gallons Compost
5 gallons Vermiculite +Perlite Mix (I go heavy on the Perlite)
Additives: 1 gallon worm castings, 1 cup slow release fertilizer l, 1/2 cup lime, 1/2 cup bone meal, 1 cup alfalfa meal (or blood meal)

00:00:36 Soil Properties important to vertical planters
00:00:45 How the GreenStalk watering system works
00:03:22 My TOP SECRET Soil Recipe
00:06:53 My unique FERTILIZATION routine

    @@GreenLove1 yes. Two leaf towers are just strawberries, then I have a couple that are just flowers, another is all collards etc another for peppers and green beans, etc. I am going to grow sweet potatoes in one of the 5-tier originals. I gave two to my daughter and son-in-law so my grand-babies can grow a few things.

    Hello. Watching you from Canada. I am very happy to see that your mix is very much like what I made myself this year to fill my brand new Greenstalk planters. I often wondered if I was going too heavy on the perlite, but you do it just like me. And I had great results. Thank you for your friendly video.

    You are so welcome. I have not done a cost analysis Because I usually buy in bulk to make all my various mixes ( seed starting mix, potting mix, cactus mix etc?) But I am positive that I'm saving a lot of money, since the GreenStalk does use a lot of soil, and if you skimp on the quality of the soil you will not have success with the GreenStalk...it is the single biggest factor for failure if not done right, in my opinion! Another option is to buy a cheaper quality potting mix, and then add compost, worm castings and definitely additional perlite to it!
