James, does it matter if the vermiculite is fine or coarse? I can find the big bag but only coarse?

Thank you @jamesprigioni for all the lessons. You are a very inspiring educational channel. This is my second year practicing growing in the yard. I always rely on your lessons to find the best way to grow my own food. I love Tuck too! You are doing a great service to teach people gardening including me. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Everyday the sun comes up is a good day.

@jaysoto6116 2 ай бұрын

I totally agree. You know what, as a beginner gardener, after making the mistake of listening to everyone, I have learned what works for me as well. These items are super cheap. I use Premium top soil, peatmoss, a fistful of worm castings, vermiculite and perlite, the end...lol I use it over and over again. Gardening don't have to be complicated, nor does it have to be expensive. You just have to grow the way God intended us to grow. He knows best.

Add some red wigglers to your raised beds... You get natural castings and they aerate the soil for you...

@Maria-ql3fc 2 ай бұрын

James I saw the clip of the raised bed you had the in ground pest and immediately thought of the spicy mustard treatment . You can grow that bed full of the spicy mustard and chop it into the soil and let it break down in the soil and that bed will be pest free, it even gets rid of the bad nematodes that attack the roots of the plants. I'm a firm believer and it works! I'm a lot older than you are and have been gardening for most of my life. Give it a try, yes it will tie up that bed for a few weeks but it's so worth it.

James' videos are just phenomenal! I've been following the channel since 2019 and he is the reason why I didn't quit my plot back then having discovered his transformational journey building the food forest, use of permaculture techniques using woodchips, awesome constructions such as the hoop houses and his great 'How To' videos like this potting mix one. I've adopted so many of his ideas and they work wonders even here in the UK! Keep up the amazing work!

Have you ever tried to plant is plane old garden soil? I grew up in the wilderness with the closest store hours away that required a dirt mountain road, a ferry and another mountain road. Driving to town was done only a few times a year and my mother successfully grew enough food that she preserved for our family of 6 to eat well all winter, spring and into the summer.

@renel7303 2 ай бұрын

Good for her, made do with what she had. You can still do that some places. Your Mama might have been the first person growing there so the soil wasn't depleted. A lot of us city folk inherit worn out soil so it needs some TLC to get it back in shape. Also for raised containers just tossing dirt in doesn't tend to work too well. It also leaves you with a pit somewhere else.

@jojow8416 2 ай бұрын

@@renel7303 You make some very valid points that I never thought about. Thank you so much. Yes, my parents landscaped a rock slide behind the log house to create all the terraced gardens up the hill side and the earth that they brought in was from the nearby forest. That truly was a GREAT life.

@cowboyblacksmith 2 ай бұрын

It can be as simple as your folks did it. Even crappy soil with just compost and leaf mold would suffice quite nicely. All these fancy schmancy designer ingredients are not required. Dirt, water, sun. Funny how nature does it all for free and quite well. Side by side comparison of my soil and his and I guarantee they would perform the same. I make my own worm castings, bokashi compost, regular compost, JMS microbes, leaf mold, and raised beds from free pallets. virtually no cost and incredible results works for me.
