Oh my! I'm the first viewer I think! It says no views as of yet, and yet, I am viewing. Which means I must be first. I don't think I've ever seen a video thus newly posted haha.
I make my own, 100% organic. A good compost ,a good soil technically can go without anything and produce better than anything. And agree the soil itself is the most important!
I am composting but I just have 3 tumblers.I can't make enough to keep up..I'm still learning…there is so much to learn..I'm a far.wrs daughter who never paid attention.I don't remember my dad doing much..our garden fed us year to year.I wish I paid attention.I think we had very good soil..
Your micro-organisms seem to be on point but, according to a biologist/gardener recommended using a table spoon of unpasteurized molasses in your tomato hole or whatever to encourage the good bacteria to grow.
Do have Comfrey in your garden?
I know this is off topic, but are you planning on doing any videos about growing watermelons. I don't know how to do it:/
Excellent as always. For the beginners out there you perhaps should explain why you use natural fertilizers instead of say, Miracle Grow or other chemical fertilizers.
