Excellent. Beautiful presentation with simple, straightforward, doable steps.

Scared that the dirt and perlite is going to fall on my face through the phone😂

Been making the same substrate since over a decade. Best growing medium i have ever had. After harvesting plants, i sift the same substrate and use it as seedling starter mix.

You can reuse it again. Just add some manure/compost or organic soil amendment to fill it up with nutrients again

Your edits are soooooo inspiring. Love love love

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

I appreciate it! I love how you explained it I'm learning less is more with gardening. Yes, and thank you for sharing the difference betwwen perlite and vermiculite. I do prefer vermiculite for containers that dry up fast. Blessings to you too💚

I’m so sorry to ask again and again, please if you can give us the name of manoeuvres and other thing and melch and coir? I’m not in good health to go to stores and go through this and that. Last week, guy sold me 8 bags of 4 different things and when i came home, it wasn’t what i needed. Please 🙏🏼

Coir is very expensive here, I use peat because it is harvested here and I don't pay to ship something from far away.

@wayneessar7489

@@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.
