I so much appreciate all the tips. I have about a dozen planters sitting around from the last couple of years. I was reluctant to dump the growing medium and add anew. I was looking for ways to put it to good use. Now you have inspired me to sift it all and amend with cocoa peat, peat moss, and various micro and macro nutrients to start using it this year. I will simply dump any "organic debris" into the compost bin. I might have to give an extra dose or two of seaweed during the growing season to make sure my vegetable plants are not starved.

Hi from down under. Great video

Gary- one suggestion- have you thought about applying no-dig ideas to containers? So just add compost on top? I'm trying that right now- and the first season of doing that was very successful. This will be season 2 of no-dig- 3 of not touching the containers. Something to experiment with. (base was a 2/2/1 peat, compost, pearlite mix) I am trying to add worms every year... we will see how this works.

Love the wrist action with the fertilizer. Doesn't the peat make the mix acidic? If so, a little lime will equalized the pH back to 7ish.

You can add a little lime back to mitigate it. But I found over the years the acidity isnt as much as I was told to worry. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

What about vermiculite? It seems like a lot of British gardeners will use that but you are using the cocoa core. What's the difference and what are your feelings on vermiculite? And also for that matter- perlite? Do you ever add that to your potting mix for your standalone container plants? And THANK YOU, Gary! I love your videos. Always makes me feel better knowing you eyeball a lot of measuring like I do, and really get your hands in there. 👍💚

Wont hurt but not needed. I use it for seed starting mix only. Not outside. I use peat, core is the husk from coconuts, shredded down. They both are non nutritional and hold water. Peat is acidic and core is not. But I would use them as you wish. Yep eyeball for sure. No need for perfect measures, plants are sooooooo adaptable.

I try to grow Asian vegetables in my raised bed for the past 3 years but I have not been successful. Every year I keep adding on soil so now my raised bed have a mixture of: garden soil, potting mix, top soil and planting soil. 1. Can I treat this mixture as earth and mix with peat moss? 2. One thing I noticed my current mixture of soil feel fluffy/light how would I treat it? I’m not sure that’s the reason why my plants won’t grow because of its texture. Thank you so much for your time.

Yes you can use yours as earth. If it is light you probably dont need peat moss. Can you add compost? Something well broken down. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

Thank you so much for your input. I will add compost to it. It’s weird idea, but does it help if we jump on the soil to make it more compact?

If you don’t have your own compost, can you buy it from Home Depot? I know the compost bags at Home Depot aren’t fully composed, Is there an alternative?

You can buy it in bags for sure but it is just knowing the product. Many are probably fit to go in the container mix. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

Yes. Those problems came in when the soil and garden was new. They float in. Earn 15% by becoming a Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop Affiliate.

As usual, excellent video. I'm half container, half hydroponic and leaning more and more to hydroponic. My problem with renewing potting mixes is that the soil diseases and weeds are still there for the next season (do it just about how you showed). Live in zone 9, so I'm putting to rest for the summer most of the potting mixed plants. So do you have any recommendations to eliminate this problem with renewed potting mixes

If you don't compost it properly it won't heat up and you'll have disease. If you have diseases you shouldn't reuse that soil!!! Start over with new.
