Hi, I’m a new subscriber, and I’m wondering what setting I should use on a Scott’s broadcast spreader for blend. Thanks.
Hi I want to know what’s the shelf life of heavy clay soil amendment kit? Thanks
We live in Georgia. Our soil is orange clay color. If we plant it acts like a bowl and drowns the plant. We love your products and always use your products. They work awesome!
The most effective products that i have ever used. All our plants look gorgeous and two of our tress that were at risk are thriving. Thanks
Hi, from Colorado! Would your product be beneficial for sandy clay loam soils as well?
Thanks for the video. But it's too much work 👍
107 and he had that long sleeve shirt on? What a mad scientist, I'm curious about this product, I have plants in the ground. I'm think I'm just going to till them all into the ground after the season is over, half of the garden only grew 2-3 feet tall over the last few months, it's cute little tomato plants corn squash and peppers.. all fruiting 1 or 2 full size fruits… it's an odd site, the rain seemed to wave washed the top layer away, I may also add some compost to the soil next year as well
I would love to see an update on this plot
I have existing vegetable beds with vegetable plants in them. The plants aren't doing well and I wondered if I should use the Blend and the liquid till on the garden beds even though the plants are already planted. Thanks
Sees the "untreated clay soil."
Every gardener in the south: "am I a joke to you?"
Our clay is like orange red, we live in northern Georgia outside of Atlanta. Your soil looks different than mine. Would I still follow the same steps?
I live in the Central valley in California and this looks like where I live. Where are you guys hailing from? I appreciate these tips I'm about to tell my veggie patch for the first time properly after planting it for 2 years.
Dig you a hole about a foot deep and bury a fish where you are putting your plant. In the too few inches add a couple handfuls of alfalfa pellets. Then cover with a few inches of shredded leaves and grass clippings mixed and throw some more alfalfa pellets on top. Your plants will grow well and the decomposition will loosen the clay. I bury all different kinds of organic matter in trenches in my garden rows. Fish, kitchen waste, garden waste, shredded paper with alfalfa pellets mixed, manure from plant eating animals and literally anything organic that breaks down. I went from hard clay that looked a clay pot to decent soil in one season. By next season I expect to have great soil. I'm gonna throw everything under the sun into my soil and mulch with shredded leaves and grass clippings and alfalfa pellets. I'm also adding the jadam fertilizer to get good micorrihzal fungi in the soil. I'm trying all the tricks at the same time lol. It definitely can't get worse than what I started with and organic matter in the soil always helps.
Sulphur isn't a dangerous chemical
