We did it!! We did it!! We purchased all four of these items, mixed them together, placed moist soil in containers, and planted some seeds in this homemade fertilizer. It has been a week, and some of the seeds have sprouted. We are waiting for them to get a certain size before transplanting them into the ground or larger containers. We just wanted to say....thank you and God bless you!!
Good luck,I started my very first container garden 17 days ago,20 (5) gallon buckets of various vegetables,it's really an interesting hobby... New Jersey....
Do you recall how expensive it was? I’m a beginner planter and want to start getting into it [:
For real, you are my FAVORITE gardener! Your content is excellent and you’ve given me hope that maybe I can grow something this summer. 😄
Thank you sooo much Family!!! What are you growing this summer? Thank you for watching!!💚🌱
This is ancient wisdom, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you Fam!!! Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
I had always thought I was a plant killer. This soil mix could turn anyone's thumb green. That's it, you did it man. I can grow plants!! Thank you.
A tip I heard is to pre moisten your peat moss/cocoir because it might go to your eyes and lungs which is bad although this is optional
You are very correct
You should add least 3 backs of blackKow that's to much peat moss I did that last month, that would won't retain water to much peatmoss
The CLEAREST explanation. Subscribed!
I just recently started watching your videos and I love them. Last year I had a total fail year of growing anything other than flowers. This year you have made me slightly better. 😆
I've just started my growing journey, my plants are all in the house so far but I get inspiration from your videos!
I love how you explain everything for a gardening dummy like me. I am learning SO much! I'm in Wisconsin, so the weather is finally starting to get nice, we finally hit mid 70s so my growing season starts a bit later, well, I think it does lol. But I am learning!! You are amazing, thank you again for your vids and sharing what you know!!!
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate the time you took to make this video. I hope you keep making them. I'm going to get started on my garden.
Thank you for sharing
I LOVE your videos.
Great video. We love watching your vids and TT. I'm always sharing with my fam. Keep it up 💯
Love your videos. I have learned so much from watching. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Very inspirational stuff Bro! Very Rich and Knowledgeable.
Thanks for the post.
That’s a great idea, thanks so much.
Mixing your own is the way to go! If I have compost I use that instead of Black Kow but both work great.
This channel is awesome! Keep it up, and thanks for sharing tons of great info
Thank you for sharing 🌿🌼🍃
Love your videos keep up the good work
You a real one 💜🧘🏽♀️✨
Loved this. Subscribed immediately after I felt your positive vibe
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Sometimes I add sand, which retains a little liquid.
This video bleeds genuine personality! I love it.
Love it!
Best gardener on CZcams! I love to mix my clay soil with sand and perlite to get better drainage and buff up for pots of plants. Coco peat is a must as well! Will have to try peat moss ! Thank u
Great video! This is what I use in my own soil. I prefer to make my own as well, not only is it more affordable, but you know whats going into it. You know what your getting. Thanks for the great content!
Very true 👍🏾 👌🏾 👏🏾
Going to mix mine this way first time gardner thank you
This was super easy to follow. Thanks so much. Im definitely subscribing! 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! ✊🏾✊🏾
Nice video!… Appreciate you posting this…… Great job!!!!
That is a beautiful wedding photo!
I stumbled across your channel through a Facebook short. great video and information. looks like I'll be following you now.
Right on time. We'll be planting our melons soon too. Peet moss has been hard to find, so I appreciate this knowledge you just dropped young brother! Shalom(peace)
Thank you Family!!! Thank you for stopping by and watching!!! Shalom💚🌱
OMG THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR CONTENT LIKE THIS
❤watch out for perlite dust keep those healthy lungs strong
Got two cantaloupe in pots right now doing pretty sweet with a mystery chilly too. Except I got rabbit and chicken manure for free from the neighbors. Great advice 👍
I just bought that huge bag of Peat Moss for $13. I think I will be picking up one more before they're all gone. Perlite isn't in any big box stores where I live, so I had to purchase some off if Amazon for $8 for 2 bags. Thanks for sharing another great video!👍😊
Dude, you have a beautiful family
Peace family! Great video! I’m all about making your own! Great info!
Love your videos u teach me so much Thank you man
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Those socks are everything.😂 Blessings ✌🏾🙏🏾
Thank you😍🥰
Thank you so much.. learning greatly off your videos.
Thank you sooo much Family!!! Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
At my age not a lot of time to waist, and for that as one reason, I subscribed. Thank you!
Love your beautiful video
You are cool, man! I hope to have healthy plants after your advice.
All Praises to The Most High!! This video was right on time! I’m currently using Harvest Organic soil and my plants have only been growing 2-3 inches or have stunt their growth and some just died off I spent $150 for 17 bags wasted money! Thank you my brother this was very edifying! God bless you
I wish I had that bin for mixing up big batches like that. The zone I'm in I have to start my plants all indoors under lights then transfer them outside in the summer. So, I'm doing what you are, just inside my house during the winter, but in smaller batches. Peat moss is acidic too, so having some lime in your mix wouldn't be a bad idea either, depending on what you are growing of course.
Great video bro! I just got ingredients today to make my own soil, for the first time! As you stated, much cheaper that route!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
💯Saw your content, subscribed, then shared.
My friend and I are grateful that you saved us $$. Thank you for the useful knowledge🤗
Great Vid Young Blood..
Love you brother 🙏🏻✊🏻💪🏻
Great video!
Okay, I'm heading out to buy your recipe.
Thanks for this vid, explains alot, the whole starter soil, container soil, raised bed, potting, top, mulch, compost etc confusing to new gardener. I know our ancestors /grandparents didn't shop for soil. 😉
You know they didn't,lol,I'm thinking they used dirt and manure and I'm not to sure the manure was aged,they were remarkable and resourceful people,they got it done with whatever t they had....
Thank u bro
Great video brother!
What’s up my G. Great content man
I am curious how are you doing in your new home? I believe by now you and your family have settled quite nicely in your new home I am just anxious to see what you have planted so far. Much success in your new property and in your gardening. 🙏🙏💐☮️
Many soil recipes have you add some lime to raise the PH and add calcium, especially if you are using lots of peat moss in the recipe. Peat moss is acidic, so you;d need a small bit of lime. At least according to many people that make homemade soil recipes.
I add an 🥚 egg and 🪱 worms to my soil or container...
Hows that working for you???
I was "gifted" with a whole colony of quack grass from some prepackaged chicken compost last year.
I have chickens but have never heard of quack grass! What is it?
Plants love chicken compost. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
@@joannamills4510 maybe he was thinking it was DUCK dirt because he got quack grass...😂😂
Love your videos🤗 and thank you, this was very helpful. Just subscibed. I have clay soil and need to amend it. After I follow your steps do I have to wait for a couple of days or can I immediately start planting seeds?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! You can start planting seeds immediately. Thank you for stopping by and subscribing!!!💚🌱
You da man!
New subscriber here!
This video is great! How do you store your seeds when you don'tuse them all?
Thanks so much for all the advice and great content! I made my own soil after using this as a guide and planted canteloupe in it - it's growing like crazy! One thing I didn't realize though - the packaged peat moss is dried out and a little hydrophobic, so it wasn't holding onto water very well at first in my containers. A few good soaks in the containers and adding water to the rest of the mix before using it in the garden fixed the problem!
Isn't peat moss supposed to be dried out???
Watched 20 other vids, this is the one that told me why all the top soil bags are labeled "For lawn repair and hole filling only" because it has no nutrients and they don't want people complaining, "Hey, your dirt killed my plants!"

Where did you get those metal etching tags tho? Those are perfect.
👀 tytyyyy
Hey I was wondering if you have a video on tomatoes, from seed to fruit?
Vermiculite is a darker, more expensive, more organic looking version of perlite (which looks like bits of styrofoam but is volcanic rock).
Why don't you use forest Biohumus and homemade vermicompost?
You can add sand and powdered stinging nettle to the mix
Just started my gardening adventure and found your videos! Super helpful!
I was wondering can I use this mix for potted plants and what is the different between the in ground soil vs potted soil?
Bagged soil is free of bugs parasites and roots. As well as having a predetermined ph level. Natural soil may need treated to get the ph level where ya want it. Also it may have roots and bufs
Yes you can. It’s pretty much a container mix. Perlite adds good air flow for the roots and the moss hold water.
The difference is texture. I personally don’t use peat moss and perlite for my ground soil i only use it in containers. I just use cow manure, top soil, native soil, worm castings and some slow release organic fertilizer for my ground soil.
Would you suggest I use this mixture to spread over my Bermuda grass?
Can you use this when air layering a tree?
Any ballpark idea what ph of this mix is? I have got to start making my own. Store bought mix is breaking me.
Now you said I can use top soil instead of peat moss but top soil is so much heavier so wouldn't I still need the peat moss so the soil will be fluffy so it drains better???
The soil will be especially good after 6 months when you'll have lots of grubs and things living in it!
Can I use this soil for my fruit trees. I just purchased my first fruit trees ( Soursop, dawf papaya, and banana trees. They arrive next and I was trying to research the best soil for them. Im so new to this. I don't want them to die as soon as they get to me. 🤒
Personally , i would Opt for a coarser Grade of Perlite . It breaks down over Time
Wonderful video!
However, as to peat moss ... this is a product that takes a very, very long time to make. It's not an industrial product, it's dug out of the ground from Pete bogs. These bogs take hundreds of years to produce the peat that's not only used in soil, but that is still used as bricks in parts of Ireland to heat fires. In some small villages, it's the main source of fire "wood". Also, Peat is a main source of flavoring for some of the world's best whiskey/scotch.
Yes, it's a renewable resource, but it takes 10s if not 100s of years to produce. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be mass produced. And when it's gone, it's gone for perhaps a hundred years or more.
A better solution is cocoa coir.
There are tones of cocoa products from coconut in many forms, to cocoanut oil, and last to the leftovers that are cocoanut coir.
It's compressed and you can take slices as needed. It will rehydrate, amend the soil for water retention, provide nutrients, and Is many times more sustainable than peat moss. It's even acceptable for some reptile habitats.
STOP using Pete Moss!
If there is something in particular in Pete Moss that your soil needs, figure out what it is and then amend with alternatives. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't use Pete Moss.
Yes, it's a renewable, but only after a hundred or so years.
Does Coco Bliss Coir already all these?
Can we use sand instead of perlite?
I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable. Where do you get most of your storage containers? Do you find them on Craigslist, or cath them on sale?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! We got them from Home Depot. They are super expensive now. Thank you for stopping by and watching!!!💚🌱
@@theprolificfamilystead good deal. Thanks for the fast response. I have a few, but I want to do some more in containers for the versatility.
Kiaora from Rotorua New Zealand, keep up the great work, happy gardening 👍
Would this mixer grow grass seeds???
I don’t like cow maure because it’s not for sure if the cows were fed hay that is sprayed with harmful chemicals
Thank you! Would this work in Arizona summer heat?
Why wouldn't it???
I been a fan since day 1. I live in South Carolina could you do a video on what to plant in each season.
Thank you sooo much Family!!! I will make a video about that in the future. I made a video about 5 things you can grow in the summer. Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
Where do you get your metal name plates from?
@@autumnhendricks3281Amazon
Any pointers on beaking up hard pack and turning it to soil?
What's hard pack???
I've made my own soil twice since i first watched your video! & my garden is flourishing.. how should i store the soil? & do you have tips for keeping bugs from eating my Cabbage, Kale, and Broccoli?
I heard 100% cold pressed Neem oil is pretty good..
Unfortunately here in PA that bag of peat moss is $40+ dollars so it isn’t so cheap here to make your own soil
So how did you make your soil,what did you use???
Can you just use regular ground soil(dig it up) and put in planter boxes? Should you add peet moss etc too it? Beginner.
The dirt plus everything else he used...
Love your videos. Do you cover your container of soil or do you leave it uncovered?
Thank you sooo much Family!!! We just leave it uncovered. Thank you for watching!!!💚🌱
Good question 👍
@@theprolificfamilystead I’m afraid the squirrels and I think caterpillars or whatever it is will eat the leaves. It happened before. I plant on my deck. I love your videos and they are easy to follow. I also don’t know how often to water them. God bless you!
Hi bro, I’m not interest in using black cow. What other alternatives
Why not???

What’s the ratio of each ingredient when you just want to make less soil for your containers
Ratios are somewhat overrated,just eyeball it,it's all trial and error or just go by what he did on a lower scale...
