This is my first year gardening without my dad.. I think he would make his own soil so I’m on here looking up everything about gardening since I just started falling in love with it last year my dad was teaching me so much but I still don’t know many things… this is the exact same bag of peat moss and vermiculite that he has. I’m glad I can put it to use thank you for such an informative video I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the great tips given in that soft, slow and calm manner....you are the Bob Ross of Gardening 😍

This is possibly the most important and educational video every gardener can benefit from. Knowing your “soils” at different stages of indoor growing is absolutely essential if you want success. Trust me I have learned many lessons of what not to do… thank you Scott!

I’ve watched dozens of videos and all I needed to know was how to make transplanting soil for my seedlings. This was the only video I found. It’s fantastic. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate this! I have been learning so much about gardening these last two years and was in complete shock when my germinated seeds would just die when I put them in what the garden center called "potting soil". Low and behold, I need to make something else for these younglings!

Omgl! Now I know how to start seeding properly. Thank you so much sir. I've learned a lot about gardening in just a few days.

Thanks for this simple, to the point, video. Clear and concise is what I like ✌🏻

İ’m totally new at gardening, so your advices are sooo precious to me!!!! Thank you so much!

Finally!!! We’ve been looking for information that is more geared for our location. We are in southern Colorado (5b) and your entire channel is so relevant!!! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to start binge watching videos!

Scott you have to be the best in this KZfaq world.. Clear videos that doesnt leave much room for doubt. Thank you ever so much

Finally I find what I was looking for over 2 years! Thank you!!! Great video!!!

Excellent editing to get the viewer (me) to the interesting parts in a timely manner. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your gardening experiences !

Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! I have watched other seed starting mix videos and I have chosen yours to follow. I am an experienced gardener that hasn't had a garden in several years and I'm starting up the fall garden soon. The simplest of ingredients for both the seed starter and the transplant soil makes sense. Less hassle along with saving money is exactly what I need.

Thank you sir and I’m a survivor gardener and this helped me. Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia !

Thanks 👍 as I’m a new gardener that cleared up a lot of confusion

Thank you make my gardening so much more happening.🙏🌹

Thanks Scott...v clear & straightforward

Stab holes in the bottom of the perlite bag and rinse it down to wash out the dust. Everybody should still wear a mask, $1 to protect the lungs is well worth it. Cheers, nice video!

I’m so ready to start my small garden. All I have is a back porch hopefully it works out. Thank you for this information, I’ve watch plenty of gardeners and yours is by for the best informative video.

Awesome video👌🏾

Great job explaining!

Very informative video that really make the concept clear for making potting mix and seed raising mix with demonstration no one did before. Thanks

Great information, thanks so much for sharing.

I love your video. Thanks for share this video

Thanks Scott! I just use peet until I transplant into bed or container. Fertilizing with mild NP&K until then.

The business park I have a small shop in has graciously allowed me to plant some basics in two 3'x11' patches. (I may take over a 4'x7' soon though.) The soil is soft when wet but hardens to concrete when dried in the sun and a quick ph test is showing 7.5+ somewhere. So the mung beans, which I WONT be eating, are really stimpy vs. a batch I've grown in pots at home. This video gives me hope that I can get some better results soon. Onto the next GS video. . . .

Great advice!

Well thank God i finally found someone who speaks like they're not from some other planet far far away. Crystal clear & so concise. I hope u give some input on all these relatively cheap LED grow lights that are just everywhere & how the cheaper ones actually compare to the more costly ones. Would really appreciate it

Great video .thanks 👍👍👍👍

Very informative. Thanks for the info.

Fantastic! Great video❤

Thanks for the information

Glad I found your site , your the no nonsense guy, some are a little to crazy for me, I’m sixty, and those young bloods are to much for this old guy, again very happy to have found your site, and thank you...

This is perfect and exactly what I needed to know! Thank you so much for sharing! New subbie 🤗

I like this mix...and I already have the peat moss and perlite. Great to know that is all I need. I have coir as well...I may try both and see if there is a difference in the seeds sprouting or growth.

I've watched few videos before coming here..Great explanation!

I use peat/perlite mix also as a potting mix. Sometimes I add a small amount of compost. I top dress it with a slow release fertiliser and plants are very happy with it.

Great and user friendly information A+.

You're the best! 👍

I use perlite in my raised beds it stops them from being soggy from heavy rains. Local seed company carries those large bags for $15 to $17 a bag. The bottom of the beds I use straw cardboard and chunks of wood in the bottom of my beds. I sprinkle perlite though that to aid in aeration. Then I use a blend peat, a cheap potting soil, compost, perlite with a cheap bagged topsoil as well. Lime the peat to adjust the PH. Fertilize to the crop I am growing. I won't call it cheap to fill a large bed like that but I am very happy with the results. Believe it or not I made a 4x6 outside measurement raised bed from 6 inch concrete blocks. One block high. Filled it with my mix and filled the large holes in the blocks with my mix as well. Planted the center with blue lake beans and the holes I had some spare bell pepper plants that were past due to be planted I thought what the heck. I planted the peppers in the block holes. I harvested 2 five gallon buckets of beans this summer. Bell Peppers several buckets of those lost count and still picking. Now I have broccoli in place of the beans and it's growing daily. Now I do have 1/4 inch drip tube with 6 inch spacing on a timer watering all my raised beds. The 6 inch spacing tube you can line up with a dripper over every hole in the blocks. I used sod staples to line up the tube temporally. Then I used a glob of landscape adhesive to set it permanently.

Nice!!

Great video very helpful!

Very good info.

1:26 thanks for the tip on the Perlite, I went to my local agriculture store, and low and behold they had a giant bag shown with duck tape on the top, I said how much? 13 bucks, so I bought that and some good Peat Moss.

Looks simple and easy, our problem around here in Ranger Texas is finding the peat moss, seems like a lot of places no longer carry it.

Thank you

Hi Gardener Scott, first I have to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. II’ve been searching for this type of gardening informations for the longest time and I finally found it on your channel.

Thank you.

Hi Scott! Thank you for the video. My husband and I grow our own food and will be selling plants 🌱 as well. Your video is most helpful. I have been mixing just peat moss and perlite and a little soil underneath sometimes but just the two part mix on the top. 😀 Thanks for confirming that for me. I am going to start moistening the mixture before though. Thanks for the tips.Happy gardening brother. 😉

Good job.

Thanks you! I am doing it right

My home garden shop is now finished and ready to grow. Im so happy to have these recipes. We have plenty of room for large mixing bins and materials. So excited. I may even be able to start a roadside stand of plants next year. I love your work Scott. Thank you for sharing!! What zone are you?
