My 14 yr old grandson and I are using your channel to teach him container gardening for homeschool. Thanks!!!

[@jamessteffens8337]

I will just starting out next spring hope to do it for many years I'm 78. I was going to buy a cheap cement mixer at harbor freight. Love your recipe. Thanks jim

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I’m thinking about getting me one of them too!!!

[@pamelahankins2866]

I see the Black Kow as being necessary. Dont listen to the haters your gardens are alway beautiful. Also seeing fish as being necessary for a wonderful garden. I make my own compost and like to use fish also.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you Pamela❤️

[@mousiebrown1747]

I started using Black Kow after noticing buyers at Lowe’s buying it over all other products, even tho their other soil products were “bargain barrel” products. I was already using peat for lightness and water mediation. Once I got black kow mixed up with the other soils, it felt right. It sells out early, too. This year, however, the chase is for finding that good Canadian sphagnum peat moss! Convoy! Yea, Canada!

[@carterj207]

@@mousiebrown1747 Hi! I hav been buying peat for yrs and its always been so dry looking and dusty but I assume that's what it looks like right? Well last night I got some peat at Lowes and got it home opened the back and it was absolutely beautiful! It was coal black! And wasn't full of chips and all that other garbage! I couldn't even tell the dif in color from my dirt!! It's the same bag I always get (brand) green bag, Did I finally hit jack pot? Is this what peat is supposed to look like? Real nice and black? My regret is there was only one bag!! Hopefully I will be able to get more of this beautiful black peat!

[@carterj207]

Oh and just for the record I've always got my peat at walmart, this is the first time I've gotten it at Lowes. Could that hav been the reason for it being so georgous and black? I'm trying to hav the perfect garden this year!

[@kunke2298]

@@mousiebrown1747 where did you find Black Kow? Which Lowes? I am in GTA.

[@ETBeats-yw1lk]

Im new to this gardening thing and i made the mistake of using potting soil mix to transplant my seedlings and nothing else, no compost or perlite of fertilizer, and was wondering why my plants wasnt growing and ultimately died... So now im here looking at your video again and im going to make my soil just like you and try again ... Thank you for so much insite on gardening in containers...

[@wherami]

Its a good recipe. Used it when you posted about it years ago. Worst mistake i have made is having my containers getting way too compact

[@kieutran6821]

Thank you very much sir. My kids and I love all of your videos. Especially my kids they love how Miss Nancy say “ Have a bless day!” at the end of the video. We love and looking forward to the end of the video to find out which Bible verb will be😍 Most of all, we pray for your good health to make more videos in the future 🙏😇🙏 Have a bless day! 🙏😇🙏

[@annekonz257]

Great video, Hollis! I added some Black Kow to a new okra bed this spring and it is doing quite well. With all the pots you have to fill, have you tried mixing your soil on a tarp instead of in the wheel barrow? You can at least triple the quantity and lift up the edges of the tarp alternately to mix it. Just a thought...

[@judyabernathy80]

Thanks for the recipe!!
