Hello everyone! This video was made in response to the requests form the video on Monday! Test your soil, manure, compost ANYTHING you are questioning may have issues. This will save you cash 💰 and heartbreak 💔
Really it's very interesting videos greetings from Dr Abdirahman thanks for your pleasure of sharing such amazing useful learned lesson from you thanks 💕💋💕🙏
Thumbs up! I just left a lengthy comment and two follow up replies at the previous episode. I just bought a mug!! can't wait for it to get here! the postage was very reasonably priced!
Wow, so much great fact based info on your channel! Would love if you could do a piece on biosolids being used in compost etc. I heard about it from another channel and tried to find Canadian info on regulations but there is virtually nothing out there other than govt statements about the safety in using biosolid waste from our city septic treatment plants, mostly used by farmers as its cheap or free. Thx for making these videos!
Just found you from comments on roots & refuges chanel. This is so informative! I would like to request a video about what happens when you lay down weed cloth.
Thanks for the series, this is very useful. This was the first I had heard of Aminopyralid/Grazon. It's pretty scary that there is a herbicide that is used to suppress weeds in pasture grass that can then survive for years in the manure of the animals that feed on the grass. Just looking it up on Wikipedia, it seems like, in the UK, farmers can only use it if they say manure won't leave their farm...this seems like a common sense regulation. Imagine buying a compost/manure material that kills your whole vegetable garden for years on end.
Thanks for this video - and thanks for what you're doing in collaboration with Canadian Prepper. I'm really learning a lot from your sharing. I was comparing some tomatoes that I was growing in my greenhouse with the ones outdoors and (after hearing your take on indoor gardening with CP, now I know why I'm seeing the differences that I'm seeing... or at least I have a better sense than I would have without your insights. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the video. I love this simple and accessible experiment to show any differences in germination and growth rather than relying on lab analysis.
i am another CP fan that Nate sent over! just went to amz and bought two of your 2022 BOOKS! i have some catching up to do! but i am optimistic because i am a lapsed farmer's daughter ((sister) now that my bro is the farmer)...... OOPS! maybe i should have looked at my bro's website to see what they are doing for merch! But I am all about girl power and learning from you first!
Ashley,thank you very much for that great information. Is there a any chance you can do video about analyzing soil before planting fruits and vegetables in it,I livenin the city and have great sunny backyard, but I want to know if tje soil is contaminated with heavy metals amd other stuff ,before I invest money and time to set up my urban garden.Any tips how and where we can do that in Canada? Thanks.
Thank you for this! This year I used composted sheep manure (3 years, mixed with alfalfa) and it was a mess. Also, several years ago we had spot sprayed for thistle - thought that had left as there are worms and some weeds growing in that pile. The peppers, strawberries and tomatoes growing in it are terrible- the plants that are directly in the soil with just a bit of it are doing much better. Can we fix the faulty compost? Why do some plants do ok with faulty compost and others not so much? I have a container of squash and nasturtium - squash is fine, nasturtium shriveling.
I'm wanting to run a test on some bagged manure I purchased, would I just plant the seeds directly into it at full strength or should I mix it with some peat moss first to dilute it down?
I am creating a new raised bed for strawberries. Because it is 36in.high, I filled the bottom from an old yard waist in of branches…… I had another pile of tarp covered dirt that had bleed scraped and piled there a few years ago. I covered it with a silver grey tarp.i used a lot of this soil and mixed it. I and compost from our local feed store,and I still need more dirt ,I’m thinking to get more from the pile .im think to try your been test,Does that sound OK?need help please Ontario
Hi.... I saw a video from somewhere in the southern states, where this gardener used rubber mulch. He says it won't float away in their rainstorms but....can u use used, chopped up tires as a mulch??
You can. So the theory is that as tired age they gas off all the harmful stuff. Now I haven’t found anything to support it but that’s likely his reasoning behind it
@@GardeningInCanada I was kind of shocked when I saw it, thinking about the chemicals in the rubber but if that fades away, u would save a pile of money if u used that mulch instead. What a way to re- purpose tires....
Hello. New subscriber to your channel. Wondering if this test will be useful for bio sludge as well? I bought soil and would like to know that it doesn’t contain bio sludge before I grow my food in it. Also- would sunflowers pull out pharmaceuticals? Thank you
I have just set up my new garden with many new bags of soil and too late for this, however I did but 20 new bags of ground soil. Should I do this test on a small scale with a seed on 20 different pots of soil?
.... she said something in the first few seconds that sounded like gibberish.... she talks too fast, at times.... would really like to know what she said at the very beginning.... for "science", of course.... UPDATE.... my ear finally picked it up.... I think she said "if you're in Ontario, my name's Ashley"....
@@GardeningInCanada okay get him to double the lighting overhead & have moving tracks to simulate arc of sun. For you; make a raised arc on ground by the corner of your house. Place lots of small mirrors into it & focus on a wall, now try growing something a little more tropical in range. Obviously in the position it catches the sun's travel throughout the day.

I never realized that growing could be this complicated. Thanks for the video have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!
Haha 😂 sometimes it can be!

Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying the series. No sure what else we can do video on together but we shall see
Your videos have perfect timing! My very first compost has just finished curing.
Hey Ash,
Great video.
Nate sent me over from his channel.
Take care..
Thank you so much for the video. I love this simple and accessible experiment to show any differences in germination and growth rather than relying on lab analysis.
Yes! Absolutely and it’s so affordable
Well it sure is great to learn something you didn't know. This is a great video! Thanks for it! Take care!
Anytime! Glad you enjoyed

Haha awe thank you for the support I appreciate that ❤️
You’re great!
❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant! Can't wait to see the results.
Yea! I’m pretty confident this soil is okay but I still test because I don’t want the stress haha
Excellent video. 🙏🏻
Thank you ❤️❤️
Thanks
No problem

Thanks for the video Ashley! My second batch of compost is growing nice plants but there are millions lamb's quarter seedlings growing out of it haha
Haha oh no! At least they are edible
Hi from old man in Ohio
Hi from Sekiu, Washington….across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Vancouver Island, Canada.
Hello. VERY cool
Thank u for another great video
Thank you for stopping by Ashley ❤️
Interesting..
I've always used compost as a fertilizer and not as a growing medium. I'm not sure when this idea became popular.
Great info. Thanks
Have you used or looked into PITMOSS the recycled paper grow media ???
A scientist doing sciencing…. Love ❤️ it!🤣☺️😎
Ahahah awe

It’s true. They use it on turf athletic fields alto

Yea I would definitely test that to see!
@@GardeningInCanada Thank you!

if you did one per bag or mixed everything together and then went with one test in the ground should be good enough.
@@GardeningInCanada thanks so much!!!

Not related to this video but please help me get rid of my cucumber beetle infestation. I’m losing the battle here
ermaghad will do! seems like this last bit has been their time to shine

There is a slow down speed function if your brain isn’t able to keep up with the big kids
Is she single?
You need to be more serious with Nate'
Not sure what you mean

I will try to convince him of something more intense eventually. Right now I am just working on proper watering 😅
