mix 1/4 top soil, 3/4 compost

Thank you for this clip on how to mix the perfect soil. I will try this mix for my hot peppers this year.

Oscar , you know your stuff. Thanks for sharing. Time to cook. Watch our cooking videos too !

White stuff is Perlite....

This is my 'no cost' way of improving the soil structure and fertility in my raised beds. When a raised bed becomes empty in Autumn I cover it with a few inch deep mix of chopped leaves, grass and seaweed that I turn over weekly. This will compost down over the colder months before the next growing season. About 4 months to work its magic. Hope this helps.

Pretty sure that is Perlite, not vermiculite

Thank you, enjoyed learning what to add to make a better living conditions for your plants, thank you....

In my own perception, these ideas are quite useful enough particularly for those who are aspiring to build a raised bed garden. Fixing a healthy soil is very important. It is very nice to learn this kind of approach for us to grow our plants very productive.

Oh did I see a frog ! I just scanned for the word lizard looked like a ghecko
