Love those worm castings… Yay
Is miracle grow good for my veggie garden
I have used soils and products by E.B. Stone. That soil looks amazing! Would it be good for containers also? Mac is looking great, although he didn’t seem too impressed with the smell of the soil. ☺️
It was so sweet when he came over to you early in the video. Glad to see him doing well. ❤
Wow wow wow I'm going to find that new soil at home depot❤😊
Looking nice, Mac really knows the camera 🎥 ❤
Mac seemed to approve the soil there with the sniff test.♥ I really enjoy watching these videos as the new garden station progresses. Wow! I ordered some soil builders from Amazon by the Coast of Main. I'm pretty sure Green Acres carries E B Stone here locally. When you stuck your hands in that soil, Kim, I felt that vicariously. lol Today I put up shepherd's hooks for hanging baskets. I've got some strawberry plants.🍓 I look forward to the live stream and getting my hands on the new soil. Woot! 🪴🪴🌻🌻🌻
I'll need to keep my eyes open for E.B. Stone soil. Looks wonderful. Thanks, Kim
With our move, I will need to start over on my raised beds. This soil looks so promising! Thank you.
Something I have been doing more of is petting Heidi.
I always pet her, more so lately, just in passing times i would not normally.
I make an effort to stop and just look her in her eyes and give her a pet.
Mac deserves extra pets, sure you do.
Stay Well !!!
Cool dollies! Wondering if it would help to have attached a thick rope to the dollies for pulling? Or maybe not. 🤷🏽♀️
Nice🎉❤❤❤
You didn't leave a link to the urban smart bed. It was the one thing that I went to read all to find and it's not there.
How tall is the taised bed?
Nice job on the Dollies Jerry! That soil looks amazing; can’t wait to try it! Kim, I finally made a big batch of your potting soil recipe! It’s sooo soft and amazing!! My compost wasn’t ready, so I used chicken manure compost and also added a tiny bit of green sand! Mac is so adorable ❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾
