How To Regenerate The Life In The Soil For Planting Veggies

[@aaronhopkins6697]

Thank you Vasili, for the major demonstration on the correct amount of fertilizers and water to use. The biggest problem that lots of people have in the garden is overfeeding and underwatering. Also my tip for correct use of a garden fork, just push the fork in and gently wiggle forward and backward a few times then side to side. Just to make nice air and water holes.

Mix lots of straw and coco pith into the soil.

I'm so glad to have discovered your KZbin videos. I'm new to gardening and I'm learning so much from watching 👀 you. My husband has just made 5 raised garden wicking beds for me. How can I make my soil more friable. As it's clay and solid in places ?

[@dawniebee946]

I had that when I first started in raised crates. Before I planted anything, I used gypsum, extra compost, cane sugar mulch, and worked it through. It was hard work! Hubby was going to get me a cement mixer 😂 I collected worms from around the garden & chucked them in for good measure.

Gypsum

[@ausfoodgarden]

Don't bother with gypsum (or at least don't rely on it). I've had 5 clay soil gardens and gypsum only helped once. Just Google gypsum clay soil myth. Dig it up if you're able and add lots of compost and coir to try and lighten it up. If you can't dig it up, add lots of compost, worm castings, and organic mulch on top. The last way might take a while, but it will work. Good luck!

Are you going to list the stockists? I live in Naracoorte, SA I would love some of this. Also, what's the brand so I know what to look for?

What sort of onions did you plant.

You want to keep wet where the roots are and are going to be. I still think if the roots arent going to penetrate an area, let it hybernate. Sure organic matter is very good, but keeping organic material as long as possible, especially if there is surplus matter, is going to be more beneficial. They have done studies on production and the ones that had a dry period did better. Even when keeping one side of the plant wet, the other dry, then during heading wet both sides. If a plant never dries out, it wont go looking for water, and will put its energy into growing foliage. Also if its wet constantly, the bacteria that like it, produce sticky substances to trap the water, which builds up inbetween the top soil and sub soil, which stops the water from penetrating the sub soil, it will hit the sub soil and go sideways. Tap Roots from plants wont penetrate the sub soil and it will take like a flooding event to get water into the the sub soil and fill that reservior.

If you had a lot of stinky arsed weeds growing, put the seedlings in amongst them, once the seedlings got established, chopped and dropped the weeds, the birds would be scratching in an area like under a tree, where nothing is growing. Problem, barren soil. Solution, put plastic netting over the barren soil.

[@brucejensen3081]

I think plants prefer NO2 and NO3 over peptides. Plants can produce peptides to break down peptides to make them available. Fungi can make peptides available. I guess peptides are good to feed fungi. But it is not going to act like sarms or steroids. Too much protein and disturbing the soil, so fungi can't establish can't be good

[@brucejensen3081]

These biodegradable plastic bags they use these days start leaching into product almost immediately.

[@brucejensen3081]

Probably should nip any flowers off before planting

[@margiepretorius8707]

Pity to see the plastic bags being broken and not kept for re-use.
