This year for my potted tropicals, im going to try a well draining mix. 30% builders sand, 40 % peat and some loam and a dash of pumice(not to much pumice/lavarock because it holds alot of water, just a handful) We have fairly wet seasons and cold with a few deep freeze. Ive notice potting soil/peat or compost is just too much a risk for rootrot. I'll use compost and bark as mulch.
@tonythegardener96
@tonythegardener96 5 ай бұрын
I think that’ll make a good growing medium, I do believe the compost and mulch should be on top of the soil instead of being in the soil, with my mix I only added 10 percent just to help with organic matter but I don’t think it’s necessary just as long it’s on top slowly feeding your plants. I hope everything goes well for you

I mix my biochar from a woodstove retort with a vermicompost slurry and also just dumped it on the ground & piled nearly finished compost on top before applying. I am looking to eliminate steps in successful gardening. I think a lot of what gardeners do produces miniscule results, but makes them feel better because they believe they are actively affecting the process. Charging biochar makes perfect sense. How elaborate the process needs to be is questionalbe. Ex.- Mixing rock dust into the soil when you put the beds to sleep in the fall v putting it into biochar? Rock dust is not living & doesn't appear to need crevices to go dornant & protected over winter like some micro-organisms & fungi might utilize.
@tonythegardener96
@tonythegardener96 5 ай бұрын
I think however people charge the biochar it would be fine as long it’s not just the carbon, and the whole putting beds to sleep thing is a whole other argument maybe a video idea I can do in the future because I believe if you could you should grow year round even if it’s not a crop you expect a crop from.
@flatsville9343
@flatsville9343 5 ай бұрын
@tonythegardener96 Agreed. Most of my beds get some amendments in the fall & a winter kill covercrop (unless they are largely perennial or already have deeply rooted terminated stalks from the previous season.) Peaceful Valley makes a good winter kill CC blend which reliably terminates unless you have an unusually warm winter. If that happens, I just weed wack it down & cover with black ag tarp or heap leaf mould on it to block photosynthesis.

Your system seems anaerobic. Its not a fail cuz what you have can still be aerobically composted but its difficult to do that in a garbage can. Are the plastic cans needed? A year is quite a long time. Also, a garbage can is too small to heat up effectively. A pile 3'x3'x3' is recommended minimum. If you consolidated all those cans into 1 pile on the ground it would be more effective.

I’m sure it would be but I do have dogs that would like to get into it and you might say put a 3x3 circular wire around it and that’s something I just haven’t done yet, but maybe would do one day but for rn this is all I got. I know I can save it just learning how to use it still. Thanks for the suggestion though

It is too bad it didn't work out for you. I have been garbage can composting for over 5 years and it has worked out really well. Use a compost crank to turn the compost. I have 1 active composter that heats up and 1 resting composter where the worms move in to finish it off.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My compost pile is just on ground on the side of my house. I did water it pretty religiously this past summer but I really didn’t flip it at all. It has provided me super premium compost. We will see how it looks after the winter. I haven’t been watering much but we have had a lot of rain. I’m going to get in there and see how it looks in the next few days. I’ll try to remember to come back here and update.

@@tonythegardener96 hey I was able to get in the the compost pile and use some yesterday. It still has quite a bit of roots in there but once sifted out it is still great compost. I’m not knocking any other method, as I’m sure other methods can produce better compost faster, but I can attest to just a pile with covered plant matter. Well I cook A LOT so I have lots of vegetable scraps that is more than maybe most gardeners even. And again, I watered it almost daily all summer.

Oh right, biochar adds tons of carbon to your soil making it hold more nutrients and water also makes a great housing space for all the microbes that live in your soil making plants healthier and more robust and if you have healthier plants the plant can sequester even more carbon just making a great cycle for the soil to plants and thus helping the soil environment. All things I should have mentioned but forgot to.

I used to cold compost now I just trench compost instead as it's much easier. Just dig a trench in an empty bed or alongside one, add food scraps, leaves (if possible), cover trench back with soil and done. The soil life will be attracted to it and take care of the rest. I don't have to worry about the nonsensical greens to browns ratio. If you have vermin, you'd most likely need to guard against it. And in a 1-3 month's time, it should be fairly to completely broken where you can plant.
