Honestly, I think this is a question best asked of the manufacturer of the product(s) you are working with. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you. I use this technique regularly, and I’m glad this video was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks. I’m glad you liked the review. Good luck finding the right compressor for yourself. And thanks for watching and commenting.

There is a link to the backyardberryplants.com page containing planting information in the description.

Thanks! I’m glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have the 30 gallon pot too. It’s a terrific kettle for a solid price. I hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The foam used in this video is called Kaizen Foam and is made by a company call FastCap. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Could you explain more what you mean please? I'm completely new to all of this😅

@astrid5870. Whenever you file, disc sand, belt sand or grind a new edge lt is usually better to have the edge towards you while use your tool of choice away from you. Otherwise you are rolling a thin section of metal over that has to be removed on the other side of the blade. That rolled metal is called a burr. This applies to knife sharpening too. With filing you may not get much of a burr but filing is only good for blades that have no stone nicks or damage. I usually grind my blades by clamping the blade in a vice so that the edge is pointed up and then grind with a 4 1/2" Harbor Freight electric grinder with sparks flying down. You can see the edge the whole time you are grinding and know immediately when to stop removing metal. Those grinders are as little as $15 and the stones are as little as $1 a piece. All the other methods I see on KZfaq are either harder to do or more costly. After 54 years at metal working in businesses and in my own auto repair shop I am not new to proper procedures on blade sharpening. I hope this helps.

I go out of my way to not get this stuff on my clothes. Although not super potent, the fish smell does linger.😯 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That’s a great story, thanks for sharing it with us! You’re correct that this is a great technique. This method of making a template is accurate and requires minimal (if any) special materials or tools. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You’re welcome! I’m glad you like this video. A quality and lightweight air hose and a swivel can make just about any compressor easier to deal with. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I agree! Watching metal chips spiral off a drill bit *is* enjoyable to watch. Cleaning up the mess is less fun though. 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting.

My pleasure! I’m not a fan of extended introductions either. Thanks for watching and commenting.

De nada. Fico feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo. Obrigado por assistir e comentar.

You’re welcome. And thank you for watching and commenting.

I've got the koch system and I have the green it's good but I recently ordered this green compound and I like it better. It does great but it high

No problem! I’m glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You’re welcome. Good luck and thank you for watching and commenting.

Yikes! Thanks for the warning. I appreciate someone who is willing to share information like this. This is a highly useful maintenance reminder for us all. Thanks for watching and sharing a tip.

torture test!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the bowl and video. And thanks for watching and commenting too.

Cutting through the thick tool foam cut be a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!

Correct. Canadian sphagnum peat moss (usually the Premier brand) is what I use because that is what is available in my area. Thanks for watching and commenting.

As long as the mix is *fully saturated* with water, then yes you could plant right after mixing. Although . . . Trying to get any remaining dry material to wet-out after planting is a true pain in the buns. Therefore, I have usually waited a day or two to make extra sure the sphagnum peat moss has completely rehydrated. The extra day also gives any excess water time to drain from the pot. Good luck with your plants and thanks for watching and commenting.

This project is a reproduction I made to honor the Danish mid-century originals and the originals did not have any wings either. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Probably. I only say that because I can’t imagine a situation where this mix would actually have a detrimental effect on a plant. However my knowledge about flowering plants like rhododendrons is minimal and I recommend you do some more research. Granular fertilizer optimized for acid loving plants would be less work and most likely less expensive too. Happy gardening! Thanks for watching and commenting.

The total N-P-K numbers aren’t *exactly* the same. Originally I was using dry kelp which was more hassle than the liquid kelp. And I’ve always ended up with a partial bottle of one or the other left at the end of the season. I suspect the combined product would work similarly. One less bottle is less work and less expense. Try the combined fish & seaweed and see what happens. Properly diluted you won’t hurt your plants. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have no idea what effect coffee grounds would have on this mix. So, adding any coffee grounds to the mix would be strictly experimental on your part. That said, for some folks experimenting is part of what they like about gardening. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Good luck with your berries! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Can I use it on strawberries too

Yes. If I still had strawberries I’d be fertilizing them right along with the blueberries. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This sounds like it would work. However, the adapter wasn’t particularly high quality to begin with and I needed parts that wouldn’t break. And I needed several of them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Blueberries have unique growing requirements and only thrive in what is usually regarded as poor soil. Part of the challenge of growing blueberries is wrapping your head around just how different those soil conditions are versus those found in a typical vegetable garden. This mix works well. I’ve been using it for years. Although it works best when paired with the fertilizer I presented in a different video on this channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Although I am new to blueberry growing, I trust this guy and agree with him because I have done tons of research on blueberry varieties, ph, how to grow and what soil combo to use and I can say his recipe for perfect blueberry soil is the same as the pro blueberry growers recommend, many of those channels specialize in blueberry farming so they know what they are talking about when recommending things specific for blueberries

I really curious, have you actually gotten this formula change to work? Because in my experience, pine bark is slow to decompose and pumice is about triple the cost of pine bark nuggets. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@CroakyOak Well on a large scale opperation cinder here in hawaii is a better option because I am able to leave the plants in the pot 3x longer. Also when trasplanting I don't have to remove the dead soil. Pine bark is useful for only one reason. It provides drainage and oxygen exchange. Once it starts to decompose both of those things dissapear. Pine bark will last six months. Nuseries use it because they will sell their plants in six months and the bark is cheap, light, and does the job. If I may direct you to a video to learn about soil look up Gary's best gardening chanel and watch his video on perfect soil. It changed everything for me.

Are you actually growing *blueberries* in Hawaii using a mix of 50% sphagnum peat moss and 50% lava rock?

@@CroakyOak Yes. Emerald blueberries.

@@CroakyOak In containers because our soil and water is alkaline.

The basic mix is: 1 part sphagnum peat moss 1 part pine bark mini nuggets Then: add enough water to wet thoroughly Dry peat moss is slow to absorb water so *mixing* the water in while mixing the two ingredients is faster and easier than trying to saturate a pot full of dry mix. Trying to get a large pot full of bone dry mix to fully hydrate could take days. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Welcome! I glad you like the content on the channel. Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting.

😆 I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

As long as the ratio of ingredients to water remains the same as listed in the recipe, the size of the measuring cups is really up to you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

What size scoop to use

The pot in this video is a 25 gallon GroPro brand pot. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I’m glad you liked this video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I’ve been using Makita Compressor oil. With other compressors I’ve also used Amsoil compressor oil. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the info.@@CroakyOak

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Probably not. This mix is blueberry specific and the pH is most likely far too low for strawberries to thrive. Good luck with your berries and thanks for watching and commenting.

This mix approximates the native growing conditions for blueberries and perlite simply isn’t necessary. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks. I believe the blank was *about* 2 1/2” thick. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You’re very welcome! I’m glad I could be of service and that you found the video useful. Thank you for commenting and watching multiple times.

You can use shredded bark to mulch the top of the potting mix. However the mix itself needs to be made with bark nuggets. Thanks for watching and commenting.
