Luke do you have a video that show how to amend container soil
Compost takes up to 5 years to become plant available
Municipal compost? 😮
Generally at the end of the growing "season", I like to chop up the leftover vegetation, and bury it in place. I also add crushed eggshell and kitchen scraps/spent tea/coffee before I bury the pile. No fertilizer or other amendments. That is allowed to overwinter. Then come March/April, I add the amendments (bone/blood meal). A little more when I transplant. I only use liquid fertilizer once the plants have had a chance to get settled and then add usually around "fruiting" time.
Anyone else having trouble with the like button not working?
Your 5 10 4 fertilizer for those peppers is wrong…. you will get better fruit production with using a lower nitrogen fertilizer then that high nitrogen low potassium. Fertilizer. Fruiting plants like peppers tomatoes ect. Need lower nitrogen requirements then a tree or a herb plant you are growing for vegetation. (Ie leaf and shoots.) If you use that high nitrogen fertilizer you are making the plant use that up and make more leaf then fruit. Then require more of the PK values to set fruit then they need nitrogen the make vegetation… so you still even have alot to learn and still spreading mi's information.
I use a 3 5 6 (npk) and I have tremendous fruit set and grocery store quality fruit. When I use higher nitrogen I got nothing but small fruit and a tone of leaf.. infact my big Bertha bells this year never set fruit because of too much nitrogen.
I've filled beds with 100% compost, too, from our county. No problems. My advice to anyone who uses compost, use your nose, it shouldn't smell bad.
Morning Luke !!! This is a great video that you put out for all of us !!! Thanks for it !!!
My son cleaned his new fish tank…and I watered my garden with it. It woke up some of the plants in days!
Also, I have bought and will continue to purchase soil supps from you.

Our breathable air is over 70% nitrogen. Why do plants need more nitrogen at the roots?
Capitalism = voting with your dollar.
That's why I voted for trifecta many times.
And your car is pretty quick and probably more reliable than a Ferrari.

nitrogen is considered volatile and does not stay in the soil for long if it is not used it can gas off or wash away . Please do not encourage people to over fertilize, it is a huge problem for nature
Why won't it allow me to click like?
Yes, I only use amendments in my containers only just to set up the plant after that I only use my compost tea for the duration in my containers and beds
What about rabbit waste does it too need to be broke down? Mine use a litter box with pine bedding pellets.
Does anyone know if you let manure set out in the weather, do the minerals get washed away leaving the manure sterile? I wondering if I should cover my cow manure pile with a rubber tarp.
For shrubs, hostas, etc., I use triple 12. For deck plants and indoor plants, I buy top soil, composted cow manure and peat humus, and mix them together. It seems to work. I remember your vid about what a scam bagged potting soil is.
thanks for the tips.
Really useful video!!
Your videos always are informative and information packed.
What magnificent looking Kale! I have compost and will be ordering Trifecta in the Spring.
Luke, have you ever discussed using human urine as fertilizer in any of your videos?
Every spot in my garden gets vegetables scraps and the worms are everywhere now and my heavy soil is happy. Even carrots get go down easily. We are in dry spell but our soil holds moisture especially since temperatures are cool.
Worm castings cost more
I left my organic fertilizers in my greenhouse over the summer. It got very hot in there. Are they ruined?
Great information always learning….love gardening!!!
I buy trifecta and it works. Why look for anything else?
We have LOVED Trifecta Plus and ordered another 15lb bag for next season.
Love your videos, Luke. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
