There’s some really great new products for the garden nowadays including Mycorrhizal fungi to improve the soil. You can even buy live bumblebee nests off the internet called Beepol hives!
super helpful! thanks for posting
thx, u really helped me!
@emforty2 explain…
double digging has been found to destroy the natural soil structure, necessary to a native ecosystem, and the bottom layer you are bringing up is devoid of the microorganisms that live in the top 4 inches of soil, better to leave the soil structure alone and add organic materials on top of the soil, allowing the native organisms in the soil to work it.
Great video. In fact, the best video on soil I’ve seen so far. I am a beginner gardner and I appreciate your knowledge. I like how you get right to the point.
Anything else we can use besides your compost?
Great video! Thanks for the advice.
I can answer that question. NO. While the compost is warm and being broken down into microbes, it is too hot for the worms. The worms go in after the compost has worked. The processed compost should go into a seperate bin or location to be stored for use. This is the time worms can be added. The processed compost is now broken down small enough for worms to eat. do not add colored paper, citrus peels, onions, or greasy garbage to compost.
Is it good to put worms in your composter? To help break it down to dirt?
for 1000 sq feet of garden apply 40 lbs of gypsum. along with the organic material. Gypsum will break down the clay.
@MrEnergyCzar I use this product in my garden, which also significantly reduces bending over, helps my back a lot. It is for killing weeds, thought I’d pass it on to fellow gardeners – weedcaneDOTcom
