So where does the azomite mentioned come in?
Watching this and thinking their is vertualy no one without a dust mask these days.
Did he say he's applying rock dust? I'm so confused what to get
So in your January 18, 2016 video – do you still add Trifecta into your soil?
ROCK DUST/AZOMITE– scam , scam , scam . Save your money do not fall for this bit with rock dust. That is unless you have millions of years to wait around for the plants to be able to make use of this. I too fell for this briefly , but luckily I only invested on a 5 lb bag. Use your money for manures, compost, worm castings .
Beautifully said…thanks!
Luke, this is one of your best videos. Probably the best explination of the relationship between microbes and, minerals, and organic matter I have heard.
Can I do this exact same process in the spring prior to planting? I am just discovering your channel and I have had very little success with my raised bed garden with the exception of tomatoes, garlic and string beans… nothing else seems to thrive… things I have had no luck with have been carrots, beets, radishes, lettuce, spinach ans swiss chard… and because of that I have put off trying to grow cucumbers and squash, or pumpkin and I add compost every spring and fall and also cover with straw over winter. I live in Eastern Canada and have just purchased basalt powder which is like your rock powder and I have home-made compost so that's why I'm wondering now as it's spring, if I can do what this tutorial is suggesting NOW in the spring as well as in the fall before winter hits. Thank you in advance Luke… I love you and your channel.
What if anything would happen if I implement Azomite into my worm farms?
You are my favorite gardener. Thanks for all the great info and encouragement!
Thank you for explaining how to use azomite properly I saw one video where a guy did lab test and it had bad results but he most likely didn't have any microbes
Rock dust and azumite … ? Im off
Can this be covered with cardboard or tarp during winter as we have extreme winter here.
OK, but I don't have enough resource material to create sufficient compost for the raised beds. Also this year a lot of seeds did not sprout, both vegetables, riot crops, and flowers. Not even the marigolds spouted and the plants died. Currently the soil is mounded in the beds. Should i remove it and mix it with something in a compost pile?
Dude!
What a great video dude!!
Course sand has a ton of trace minerals $13 a truck load, soil from our local saw mill $85 a truck load, and organic material leaves, logs, and fruit/veggie scraps. Place the logs on the South and West sides of plants to knock off the sun, this keeps in moisture, plants off the ground, and the soil from overheating.
I think you forgot a step… get a soil test first
That chard in the background is just epic.
Very informative,thank you
I have a question. My son bought a ton of raised bed soil (about 12 big bags) and it's almost Fall. Can I put them in the raised beds now instead of waiting until next spring? I am concerned that the heavy compressed bags will grow mold if they sit stacked in the carport all winter long. What do you suggest?
Love the passion , never see you show that much passion on a post , grow big sir
I love your show and the information you provide. I am confused though with the concept of "self sustaining". It seems an oxymoron since whether synthetic or organic, in either case nutrients taken out needs to be replaced. It is mainly a difference of the source of the replacement. Organic replacements are dependent on the soil web and are not readily available to plants until they are converted. It is true that a living soil is what is needed in any case to have a healthy and productive garden.
Is there a video about getting our beds ready for our harsh winters? I cannot find one. 🙂
I love that you always explain the WHY of what we’re doing. It really helps!
could you please mention the month you are doing these various chores in the garden Im in zone 6 so i think we are at about the same zone level thanks in advance!
Great video!
Does it matter what kind of rock dust that I purchase?
