@dollhead 3 жыл бұрын

@@gmonkey12776 peat bogs are created over 1000s of years by dead organic matter accumulating in a wet environment, and if you give them millions of years, they'll eventually form coal. they're not very prevalent since they only thrive in boreal type environments, but they're an important environment for many different types of species and generally have really interesting ecological properties. you've probably heard of tollund man, they can preserve many things almost perfectly including people... and even butter lmao. so when people harvest them for the amazing water holing capabilities of peat moss, it's a very destructive process of using excavators and such and basically gets rids of 1000s of years worth of compressed moss and om, which is obviously not very sustainable since it takes so much time to form in the first place. it also potentially is getting rid of preserved artifacts which sucks. coco coir, on the other hand, is formed using the outer husk of coconut shells which is great considering that they would otherwise likely go to waste once people have gotten the coconut water and meat out of them. peat moss can hold about 20x its dry weight in water, while coco coir holds about 10x as much, but the latter is much much more sustainable!!

“Kevin-in-the-box,” 😉 thanks for these great tips on raised bed gardening. Like so many of your viewers, we are also in the process of filling our own raised beds. First with trunk logs, rotted branches, twigs and small decomposing debris to fill in those empty pockets. Then we placed fish remains over the branches and then a layer of cardboard to slow down the settling process. In the remaining 14” we sifted decomposed leaf and tree branch soil from our forest. We have yet to ad chopped leaves, grass and our homemade compost plus bone + blood meal, sea compost, some horse manure and finally a well decomposed mulch, freely delivered in 2019 by tree pruners who (lucky for us) were working in the area. After a good watering down, this will sit and stew over our zone 5 winter for about 7 months. It is our hope that it will be veggie worthy when we plant it up next May. If you have any critique, we gladly welcome it. In the meantime, we’re paying a trip to our osteopath to reset our garden weary bodies for the next round of gardening!

I was getting ready to fill the bottom of my raised beds this way when two local gardeners said this method doesn't work in a dry climate like ours, that it won't break down well. They recommended to keep what I already have on the ground which is a good quality weed barrier and on top of that four inches of gravel. The next layer they suggested 3-4 inches of sand followed by organic material such as leaves, small twigs, seedless straw, etc, followed by two layers of cardboard, followed by a mixture of compost, peat moss, and our county soil. They said vermiculite is only for starting seeds in those small containers. My landscaper wants the top layer to be 1/3 sand, 1/3 Nutrimulch (which is turkey compost) and I can't remember the other third. Sand? He owns a nursery and swears by it, that the plants love it and so do his customers. The other gardeners said when mixed with soil it will turn into cement. I'm so confused!

Hi Eric :-) a little tip to protest your back: simple belt for weight lifting. I use it as a kind of necessity ( I nad an 'encounter' with a drunk driver and got damaged spine) and with the belt i get tired and I get sore muscles- but no back pain at all, only few dollars that make a huge difference. Good luck!

So many tall gardeners. Luke is like 6' 5", James Prigioni is like 6' 4", I am 6' 2". How tall are you?

This just totally sold me on whether to build wood beds or get birdies. I'd rather spend the time perfecting my soil and multching than building huge beds myself.

Exactly how I feel especially when the wood for beds this size cost more than metal beds!
