There are numerous pH test kits available to give you an accurate pH reading. There are also numerous and cheap pH meters available that are accurate to 0.1. Texture and color in no way determine pH. Nutrient availability is highly pH dependent. It is also important to take readings down the soil profile, not just the top 10cm.

Thank you. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thank you for yet another video to demystify and provide real clarity to the whole companion planting headache.

Okay. I went back I to video, sound is working

Hi Luke. Thanks for the information makes a lot of sense. Do you not cover your soil to protect against erosion or leashing of nutrients?

Sorry…it was 4, but I forgot to say “thank you for sharing” kinda rude not to have said that 👍💕

😲😲Thank you sir! ❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🖖🖖🖖🖖🙏🖖🖖🖖👂👂👂👂👂👂👂👂im listening

What about planting winter crops under something like tomatoes to shade them from the hot sun? For example lettuce (I’m in Tennessee zone 7, we’ll 8 now 😉)

One thing you didn’t do and that was the “leaves” you took off…place those in a glass of water to get those shoots to grow roots to plant and instead of just one the 3 (I believe you removed was 3) will now turn into more 👍….get more for your money 💁‍♀️…..welcome😉👍

Apparently you haven't heard of rhizophagy

No sound

GreenStalks are addictive! I just ordered my fourth. My family has a lot disability and mobility is a big problem. GreenStalk is amazing for people facing challenges and still want to garden

😮😮😮

I think they should have to list the % of contents, so apartment people can just buy what they are looking for(assuming they do not need large quantities). While larger scale gardeners could follow your sage wisdom. Of course, you likely know that to make it even go further, just buy bags of the components and make your own to order for your specific needs!

The bees love our Rose of Sharon bushes!

I think one potential issue with planting it sideway like this is that most people will commonly just water at the base of the stem. During the initial grow phase you have to remember to water where most of the root is located.

You exposed my secret 😂 Because MG is so readily available I found out theyre all pretty similar. I mix orchid and some leca for aroid, more perile and tiny lava rocks/sand for succulents, water crystals for thirsty plants. The only soil that has to be different are the edible plants and the carnivorous. The rest I can alter. It's the same with the fertilizers. They're not that different. Blooming plants and foliage plants have different needs. Orchid mix, leca, and chunky perlite, coir/husk, charcoal are the mix ins to turn the basic bag into whatever you need.

You're absolutely right! I've done this for years. One bag each of potting soil, perlite and vermiculite lasts me several seasons, and I can create any kind of soil I need. I container garden and "custom mix" for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, flowers and herbs. I can't handle heavy hanging flower pots, so I mix up a special soil for them too.

Great video! You explained it well and it was easy to understand!

As a prank, ok whatever you want to do is up to you. Filming it and putting videos of unsuspecting people on UA-cam for your audience in my opinion not ok. (Unless you got the people’s permission, if you did please put in video or description, or maybe I missed it? ) even if you buy the plants. Would you be ok with someone doing this to you?

Does nobody understand thst Michigan Gardner is in... Michigan? You know, the state of pure beach sand?

I‘ve done this last year the first time, because the plants were a little long due to too high temperatures in the first month. It was the worst tomato year I’ve ever had 😭 Flowers kept falling off and the plant obviously wasn't able to transport the water around the corner. Never again! Just plant deeper!!🙏🏼

This is dumb. Not only do you risk breaking it, but you are also gonna have to water more often since most of the roots are now on the surface.

To create my own grow mixes I buy 1 bag of the cheap topsoil ~$2, 1 bag of the cheap compost ~$2, and a very large bag of Perlite ~$16 and then sift/mix them in various proportions like you mentioned as needed. Soilless Peat-based mixes dry out too fast for my area in my experience.

I have planted onions around my tomatoes. It seems to me this has created a barrier for pests. It’s early yet but so far it is working.

Haha just the other day my husband sent me a picture of some hostas he saw on FB. I told him that they look like they were fake. He then proceeded to tell me there’s seeds on Amazon 😂 I wouldn’t trust seeds off there to begin with.

Thanks for the tips. You can also tell soil PH by what grows in your native soil. Where we are we have lots of Slash Pines and Live Oaks growing everywhere, AKA acid soil.

If you dig a deeper hole it's better than it being on its side...

Didn’t understand which soil to purchase for the first time. Only thing I got out of this was peat moss. Not helpful at all.

And what are we buying?

I saw differences in the commercial potting soil trials that I worked on last summer (UK is going peat free). What happened here?

You're the first person I've seen talk about the forks in the main stem! I never know what to do! Thank you for justifying my eeny-meeny-miny-mo method!

This would never work in the desert SW. They need to be planted deep.

I munch on the basil blossoms while I’m pinching them back: healthy snacks!

radishes are an excellent trap crop. the aphids love them and leave my tomatoes alone.

Wow! That’s way more than I ever plant! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you !! I appreciate you !!

Omg, this cracked me up! Thank you...I had a good laugh out of this!

Oh great, he messed with big soil. Looks like someone is gonna be taking a dirt nap.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd rather pay the $3 extra or whatever and not have to sift all my soil 🤷🏿‍♀️

You must not have the fancy saying that helps you to get the plants out so you don't hurt them. You put the tray in and then there was a pedal that you pushed on and it would pop them out just enough that it was easier to pull them up out of its plug.

Can someone please help me. I’m new to gardening. I live in an apartment so I have to grow indoors. I have a tomato plant and it has one tomato on it that doesn’t seem to be getting any bigger, someone told me that my plant probably needs a bigger pot, as the plant isn’t growing any taller. I’m not sure how to safely transplant it to a bigger pot without killing it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Who’s in the shed

I am finally getting female flowers. BUT, the flower is not opening. Then fall off the next day. Yes it’s in the 90’s aready. I have shade cover on them now. The vines are very healthy, w tons of male flowers-and the males open. The females don’t , at all. No pests bothering it. They are under a tall hooped bug net covering as well. Never had this happen before. I’ve fertilized watered. Yah da. Must be too hot

I definitely want one of these!

😂 CANDID CAMERA… déjà vu all over again! 😎

Getting sticks out of your soil is key. Add perlite to your soil mix, bottom water with liquid fertilizer or add fertilizer, don’t transplant until roots are probably 3-4in. Or have 4-5 leaves. If you have large pots you can put 3-4 plants in each pot, then once they get larger you can separate & give them their own pot.

If the plant has been grafted do not plant deep because the root system has already been developed and planting deep diverts resources to the new roots that are not needed.

I’m cracking up!! I just at your store today (after being there yesterday also) getting more grapes and plugs of raspberries and blackberries. I texted my sister LUKE IS HERE!! Lol love your products especially trifecta!! Your entire staff is amazing!!! 👍🏻
