Gary's Rules for a Sustainable Garden

[@wizardsongs5409]

45:30 The farmer he is referencing here is the late Masanobu Fukuoka and the book is 'The One Straw Revolution' if anyone wanted to know. A lot of no-till people are really heavy into Fukuoka's work. Also, another author's name I should mention is Ruth Stout, she also was greatly influential with her similar techniques involving deep mulching with spoiled hay.

I am trying to switch my small plants into a medium like your soil but I cannot find any sand that is not too dense. All the sands I have found is dense so that when it gets wet it gets hard and water can't get through. Is it ok to use vermiculite instead of sand for plants that need to stay moist? Can I leave out the sand for the other plants?

[@hennesseyme9112]

Does anyone ever respond to questions?

[@timothyjones9430]

Gary.. I live in the tropics and I have access to beach sand which is mostly coral calcium.. is that ok? Oh kinda tough to manage with so much calcium... Thank you for answering..ps. I'm growing bell peppers tomatoes and onions.

Is there a good replacement for dg?

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

Gypsum is another good ingredient for soil mix. DE also good for killing/controlling soft body pests 😉

[@masteraus66]

Quartz/sand/glass is silicon dioxide. Amorphous silicon dioxide is the best plants because its in usable form. Diatomaceous Earth is Amorphous quartz/sand/glass the stuff he talking about.

[@lisahand5752]

That’s interesting. Do you mean that I should add it into my soil?

[@masteraus66]

@@lisahand5752 Yes. The instantly available form is silica

Dr. Gary, what can you say about "swap fertilizer" and "JADAM Fertilizer" and "Fermented Fertilizers" ? Can you create a vlogs about that Organic Fertilizers?

[@sheckydiamond7533]

Gary's videos are on products he sells. Soil, fertilizer, trees, tomato plants...... And every plant and tree video features his Top Pot soil and fertilizers.

Feast and famine makes a plant adapt better in my home of 40 year old plants in sand.
