I see the Black Kow as being necessary. Dont listen to the haters your gardens are alway beautiful. Also seeing fish as being necessary for a wonderful garden. I make my own compost and like to use fish also.

I started using Black Kow after noticing buyers at Lowe’s buying it over all other products, even tho their other soil products were “bargain barrel” products. I was already using peat for lightness and water mediation. Once I got black kow mixed up with the other soils, it felt right. It sells out early, too. This year, however, the chase is for finding that good Canadian sphagnum peat moss! Convoy! Yea, Canada!

@@mousiebrown1747 Hi! I hav been buying peat for yrs and its always been so dry looking and dusty but I assume that's what it looks like right? Well last night I got some peat at Lowes and got it home opened the back and it was absolutely beautiful! It was coal black! And wasn't full of chips and all that other garbage! I couldn't even tell the dif in color from my dirt!! It's the same bag I always get (brand) green bag, Did I finally hit jack pot? Is this what peat is supposed to look like? Real nice and black? My regret is there was only one bag!! Hopefully I will be able to get more of this beautiful black peat!

@carterj207 2 жыл бұрын

Oh and just for the record I've always got my peat at walmart, this is the first time I've gotten it at Lowes. Could that hav been the reason for it being so georgous and black? I'm trying to hav the perfect garden this year!

So glad I came across your video. We just recently moved and the ground here is all rock. We have obtained a lot of large tubs for planting until we can get a good garden bed going over the next few years. However, the cost of potting soil was really discouraging us this year. Your video has given me hope again that we just may be able to afford filling these containers and getting going with our garden finally. Thanks
