@alanbrown91793 жыл бұрын
@@Spaughshalfacrehomestead I’m not sure what you mean by super soil mix, but I started with 3.8 cubic foot bag of peat moss and mixed in an equal amount of perlite. I poured all of that into the bottom of a 4x4 foot bed that was 1 foot tall. I then added a 1 inch layer of potting mix on top and planted the seeds into that. I followed all of their soil amendments as mentioned in the video as well. I wasn’t using pellitized seeds but bare seeds and I didn’t have any luck with the newspaper on top but just watered thoroughly every evening. Hope that helps and good luck!

And in that, it is really beneficial to continually be working with that soil... Those are cheaply built 8 year old boxes that probably need rebuilt (or they will soon) but the soil in them is priceless... I think you will find your will richen and mature as well... Good luck !

Vermiculite is not quite the same. Yes it makes a soil more airy but at the end of the day it’s a clay, absorbs water while perlite does not( had 50 lb bags of both get rained on, your not moving vermiculite easily) & it will loose texture in the long run. Not what you want if you want soils to dry out between waterings say for cacti.

Great informative video. Coming from Texas to Florida, I had never grown carrots - the soil where I am from from is too dense and clay like. I really want to attempt carrots (the reason for my looking at older videos!). .My husband has built me (8) 4’x9’ raised beds so I plant to dedicate at least one bed to root veggies. I already have potato patches growing in the ground. Sending Blessings!

How do you fill the carrot beds to start? The same layering system?
@BumbleBeeJunction6 жыл бұрын
I cheap way to start is to fill them to about 6" from the top with straw, and then dump (rinse) peat moss down through it as filler... Then in the last 6 inches, focus more on the amendments in the proportions here... Thanks for watching ! Hope that helps !

Bumble Bee Junction starting to gather supplies for spring and raised beds. Question: So do we do the fall layering after straw/peat moss and the spring amendments for our 1st ever bed. It just seems to make sense that way. Then follow by fall layering? Lol...this is HUGE for us to get it right.

I’m lazy, I’d lay down the pearlite, phosphorus and Epsom layers, then just turn it all in with shovel in one fell swoop. Maybe it wouldn’t work as well, but maybe it would, easier on the bad back;). I do appreciate learning what my carrots will be needing and how to have some success:)

Cardboard (weed suppression).... Hardware cloth (critter suppression)... Straw or Hay (cheap filler)... I think after that, I would load the bed with loose peat moss, and amend it from there... But peat is bulky and will get you filled up to where you can work with it...

@@BumbleBeeJunction does sand mix work with carrots?
@BumbleBeeJunction5 жыл бұрын
Cherrie... I am not a big fan of sand and carrots, but that is just me... If you've seen our harvest videos, obviously we can grow them without it... Many times, it becomes too dense for the carrots to grow long... If you are adding it to loosen up clay, then I would suggest gypsum instead...
@cherriemckinstry1315 жыл бұрын
@@BumbleBeeJunction Another reason I ask is that peat moss can get very expensive and half a bag goes for what a full bag went for a few years ago. The good thing is that it's acidic and therefore some pests do not like to get neat it. Oak leaves and pine needles are also acidic and cam be gathered locally. I used to live near a peat bog so it was a little more affordable, but still is more money than resourcing pine needles or oak leaves and shred them up.
