In this video, I share my findings and research about PFAS, or “Forever Chemicals,” and the many ways they can end up in your garden. This is an important video for everyone to watch. Please share this with all of your gardening friends.

Considering all of the toxic and cancer causing chemicals that are put into our food, this sadly doesn’t surprise me.
In the comment I made above this, you use 2 packets of yeast for me. Half a cup of water and a five gallon bucket.Wait two hours and you got a good fertilizer starter…❤❤❤
Stop relying on big box storage for your fertilizers make your own. I'm a 60-year-old woman and I make fertilizers the same way my Grandma did, and she was born in the early 1900s. She did not buy fertilizer. She made her own.And if you want to know how to get rid of pests, hit me up and I'll tell you that too.And it's all natural.
Without watching more than 2 minutes into this video…. I'm a professional water & wastewater operator. PFAS has been a "thing" for the last 25 years of my career. The general public just wasn't made aware or included in any of the information. It's everywhere. Don't let it keep you from doing right now – all you can do is minimize your usage of the products that would contain PFAS chemicals. It sucks, but it's not the end of us living our lives.
Dude governments around the world decided that it's safe to sit in a restaurant and eat but on the way to the table you have to wear a mask. Nothing surprises me about the human race especially if there's some malice, carelessness, or ill intent if not just greed for the sake of greed. Love your videos brother, don't let the man get you down❤
If we all keep manufacturers accountable, we will contribute to leaving a healthier world for our children and grandchildren. Change begins with one decision made by many. Thank you for making an excellent choice to educate and encourage home gardeners with this well researched video 💚
Demand the changes, and keep demanding!
Another reason I have tripled my compost piles this year, finally got the husband on board by keeping every leaf and blade of grass on our property. Also added many more rain barrels. I do only use Espoma products, good to know they are ok.
Testing is the real problem, if you ask certain people in government.
Who would have thought growing our own vegetables could actually result in "poisons" being introduced into our soil & eventually our home grown food. I really appreciate this video. Keep up the good work!
😢thank u
Oh and another thought….many of these bags of 'stuff'….a few years back many of these bags where touting "Bio Char" …i.e. left over burned forest junk…..do we ever stop to think what does the government do to put out wild fires (and do these chemicals infiltrate our underground water supply?)? Yeah chemical fire retardants!!!!!
I know you're trying to be apolitical however I feel it must be pointed out that there is only one of the two American political parties that is anti regulation.
This is something that I have never heard of. Forever chemicals, PFAS and used in garden soil, destroying the soil structure and microorganisms. A nightmare, as you say.
Didn’t see your earlier comment…. Is this a fertilizer recipe? But…. A 5 gallon bucket for how much water?
yes. this is why we make our own fertilizers. never use sewage based materials unless it is your own and you know what you are doing. this is also why you do not want to use city fertilizers. neptune is excellent product if you cannot make your own. i became anti-partisan in the 70's because i hate the partisan bs that is destroying our nation. facts, on the other hand, are facts. previous administration, whom i did not vote for, did start to control pfas to eliminate it. on the first day of current administration, whom i also did not vote for, this president removed the controls on pfas chemicals so they will continue to be used and harm us. this is not politics, just the facts. live clean, live well😀
I hope you can link to labs that run these tests and to good garden water filters. Or do another video naming and linking them. Those companies deserve our support!
Thank you for this!!!
Sir, educating people about the toxins in our environment is not political, only the small minded would react in such a manner. You are doing all of us a great service and helping us eat more healthfully.
All of the chemicals you speak of have been here since the dawn of time. Everything that they make is all here already. The concentrations may vary from one area to the next, but the total quantity remains the same.
Industrial farmers who have laid down the sludge on acres for years and now see ruined soil. A big loss of potential food. It's shocking that the sludge is in gardening products, but it makes sense relative to marketing with a farther reach.
Thanku❤
This is a great vid. Thank you.
An inspiring group on you tube is carbon cowboys.
THANK YOU THANK YOU! I had no idea! I appreciate your passion, and that you share it with all of us.
If it’s in our water , then we can never have a garden ? Only if we move to a safe area ? We need to know safe areas 😢
Can you put a link to the fertilizer study? Thanks
Thank you for the knowledge ❤ one would think that compost and fertilizer labeled for your vegetable garden would be safe.
Can this substance pass through skin while showering or bathing?
Thank you Brian. I hope you can list some of the products that you know are clean. I use Dr Earth fertilizer and I would like to know if it is ok. I will read the package carefully, but a thumbs up from you would be extra insurance. I join others in thanking you for this information. We all need to do our part to protect our families and the earth. ❤️
I blame Fauci and others like that snake. People like him are responsible for crap like this
