What is this? This looks like something a dung beetle rolled in here. This is what you get after uh what is this? Like 2 years of me putting this bag soil in a raised bed that I got in this greenhouse, which is basically just wood products. Who knows what it is? Pallets could be anything ground up these big box stores crap that you buy. I see a lot of people running into problems. They see their plants are getting yellow and they’re stunty growth. They’re not doing much. Should look at this because this this this is a problem after maybe the first year, the second year. Maybe you get away with it because you got a lot of airation in the soil because the bark the particles are very big. The bark is big. The wood chips are big in there and it’s getting oxygen. But after a while, everything breaks down cuz it’s constantly breaking down. and everything starts to become the same size and you ain’t getting much air oxygen penetration through this. The drainage is bad. The moisture, it’s holding on to a lot of moisture and it just ain’t too good for the plants. Look it up. Stop swiping and look up oxygen for the root zone, cellular respiration, root respiration, ATP. If you can’t get the adequate amount of oxygen, the plant is not going to do well. Look it up. Stop swiping.

Tillage. Turn your crops under after harvest after they dried. Don't clear them away. It returns nitrogen to the soil. It mulches the root layer.
Styrofoam peanuts provide perpetual oxygen in whatever potting mix you use
I use turface exclusively when repotting most everything with watering
Save everything organic and swap out soil with it., Add worms. Tomatoes eat fresh organic stuff. They EAT! They thrive. Even grass and twigs. The only stuff I buy is 50% cow crap compost and rock dust,
