First!
Congratulations! You earned it!
Thanks to you I'm planting peas in a super mix. The soil in my yard. Incredible!
Congrats. Keep on keeping on!!
Big congrats!!😮🎉🎉🎉
Congrats!!!!
Congratulations!!!!
🎉 Congrats, you deserve it.
I get better results applying 5mL / L fish hydrolysate (2-2-1) made from fish waste as I do from using calcium nitrate or other mineral fertilizers. Tested on peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, greens etc. Fish products contain amino acids and peptides that have biostimulant properties directly or can stimulate micro organisms to create more plant growth promoting hormones to promote plant growth indirectly. They also have a combination of soluble and insoluble nutrients typically. Comparing the cost by mass of N will always show salts on top but that's not the only comparison. Unsustainable harvest is a real issue though. There is a point where being too reductionist can become overly dogmatic and reduce ones ability to understabd more complex systems. I appreciate the content overall but sometimes feel like the myth is forced by taking a really specific and reductive viewpoint which contrasts with a really broad "myth".
Furthermore, there is an organization called the International Biochar Initiative which provides standards and certification to Biochar production. Of course there are many people who are not truly pyrolizing their material but lumping in those who DIY or buy lump charcoal from the store with companies who provide legitimate and certified products which are certified is misleading.
Ouch, didn't know about fall vs spring planting outcomes and cold climate relation. Every time I watch one of your videos there are useful pieces of the puzzle, even if I never fell for some of the more obvious bs and "common sense" myths.
Maybe you can get a new hat, something less synthetic, for 18 million. 😁😁
Hey Bobby! Grats on 17 million! Is rusty water bad for plants? i have started collecting rain water in a 55 gallon drum and its started to rust and go orange. Can I use it for my plants safely? Does Iron become toxic at levels? Thats and millions more.
Its an important work. Tanks.
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you Mr. P. 🌷💚🙃
Appreciate what you do😊
Congratulation and well deserved!
The only things I now use to fertilize my garden is what was there to begin with, mostly due to your channel and one or two others.
I did attempt to make my own inoculated bio char and it's been waiting to be put in the garden for about six months now.
Since I have it, I suppose I might as well use it 😁
Thank you for addressing the differences between honeybees and native bees and the issues around having bee houses. I always appreciate what you have to say and this video was no exception. Please, keep up the good work of debunking garden myths!
Absolutely, the best gardening videos. So informative on just about every gardening topic, Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Youre my go-to guy, on the regular. Debukning has become a passion thanks to you.
The number of myths and the sheer nonsense out there is mind boggling
Can I add clay to my sandy soil to improve it. Like clay cat litter? Thank you
I have horticulture degrees in both plant and soil science along with 50 years experience. The lies, myths and fables are never ending. Several of the most popular gardening programs are pure manure.
Wow! that fish fertilizer story 😡 I never knew 🤦🏽♀️ very informative! Thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Congratulations!
I think originally the charcoal fad came from " Terra Preta"
Form Wiki: Terra preta is characterized by the presence of low-temperature charcoal residues in high concentrations;[2] of high quantities of tiny pottery shards; of organic matter such as plant residues, animal feces, fish and animal bones, and other material; and of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, zinc and manganese.[6] Fertile soils such as terra preta show high levels of microorganic activities and other specific characteristics within particular ecosystems.
I do charge it with the micro herd from the compost. The Indigenous people used to charge it in the latrines.
Have you covered BOKASHI composting?
Hi Robert, I'm wondering if you have any experience with large tap root tree propagation (Hickory, Walnut, Oak). I heard of people using tar paper for making 3' tubes, but tar paper is not really eco friendly and probably carcinogenic. I'm thinking some kind of craft paper or fibre paper and make cone shapes then see how they last and if they need removal at planting probably 2-3 years after germination. I would use wire mesh tubes after planting for protection from critters. Looking for advice, not sure where best to ask.
Congrats on 17m view and I love all your books.
Thanks. Mac from Waterloo region.
Congratulations! I’m glad so many people are relying on such a good source. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work.
Wow great work !!! thank you for detailed information and process
