So for the area you have made in this video, how much compost would you recommend putting inside?

This is a really helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

What about adding in lots of well decomposed compost and organic matter like grass and garden cuttings and then adding a bit of organic fertiliser before turning it back over. There's a lot more to starting a bed than just adding a bit of sand and some compost. But this is a good beginning.
Thanks for sharing

Very helpfuuuul! Especially for someone like me who's never done anything like this before, and who would like to gain a really solid understanding of how to sustain a healthy garden :] Thank you so much!

Creating good growing soil is very essential. But different plants need different kinds of soil as well, Which we must know before we create our garden soil. Thanks for the tips anyway!

I'm bothered. My cousin sleeps in the next room and he as of late became superb at obtaining gals. The guy went to the Master Attraction website by Jake Ayres (Look in Google). Now I hear him bringing ladies back. He's continually bringing girls back. I can't help but hear it, which is nasty. I wish he never discovered that site.

Does this work to grow grass also.

She's correct i'm afraid. also the plants in the back are sunflower based. They passed there grow date and released there seeds. all they have left is to die to feed the new seeds its nutrients.

how bout trying NO-till. how bout building soil instead? simply get organic materials (from your neighbours) like food scraps, egg shells, newspapers, chicken bones.... This will decompose (as it has done in nature for billions of years) Then you will have top soil. Get some chickens too, because they will aerate the soils as they look for worms. and ad valuable nutrients in their poops and also lay eggs for you....yum yum yum Then layer some cardboard on top and cover with wood chip

Just regular sand?

What.. are you talking..... about?

technically speaking, sand doesn't "hold" moisture. But fine aggregate does reduce the capacity of the soil to drain.

i have a raised bed and the dirt under it was like clay. i make the compost and throw it over the bad dirt and i noticed that the orange clay is changing into dark black dirt. since i live in warm climate, the dirt makes lots of worms that helps the dirt.
