Thanks for dealing with that weather for us!
very useful thank you
The comfrey plant is good fertilizer
Tried this, it settled to literally all the same colour/texture. I think I'm 100% clay.
I’m going out of town June and July. Any recommendations of what to plant now for august harvest. Or should I just do a cover crop and plant in august. fav cover crop?
i am so glad you did this!
That was very useful! Thx for the video!
This was such great info!!!
20% organic matter seems high. I think JM Fortier said his farm got up to around 13% and then they started focusing on other aspects of the soil bc they were afraid of holding too much phosphorus. They had an agronomist testing their soil and advising them.
Cracking timing, waiting for at home nutrient one. Thank you very much.
Yeah I moved to Florida but I still follow you. I can tell you overly loose soil is just as bad as overly compacted! We have mayakka sandy soil and it leaches extremely fast. Even mulch put on top disappears quickly.
do you put citrus peels or garlic skins in your compost pile
How do u add clay to your soil
One item that can also be tested since you are putting your soil into solution is the pH. A test strip is inexpensive and can add that extra element so you can know more about your growing medium.
Why didn't you show your results?
Great video and can't wait for the next one too. Have you done one of testing PH?
thank you for the information. can't wait for the next one
This was great,really looking forward to the nutrient test!!
Let me tell you, your enthusiasm always brings me to smile!
This is great! Thank you!
One thing I wouldve done is have one that's been sitting for 12 hrs to show what your talking about. Easy learning tool.
You could always just do a Plastic Index of the soil sample using an Atterberg Liquid Limits Machine, then oven dry the sample, and use a Hydrometer to be as precise as possible!
This is exactly what I needed ! Thank you so much.
I would have liked to see the sample settled out with some commentary. I have very strange soil that turns to silly putty with the slightest moisture….I have to heavily amend it. Its called "Waxpool". Very waxy when wet but crumbles well when dry.
Sadhguru's been talking about how soil is disappearing so I thought I'd watch something about soil and this came up. Will try this, thanks.
I wondered how much those soil tests cost. Too much money for things now. I did this test with jar last year. The hard part was wondering what color the water test was closest to on the chart, but I will wait for your next vid to see how you do it.
Awesome thanks as I need to amend my garden now before winter starts for winter veggies
