Finally someone on youtube who knows what he is talking about. You actually can grow in straight sand but the peatmoss, perlite and pumice help to lighten the mixture so you can move the pot if you need to lol. You are absolutely correct when you put the compost on the surface and not below to prevent the decompostion from using the oxygen in the soil.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT he’s been testing for years and he has a research paper on it if you’re interested. Also, Gary’s soil is good too but it’s out of my budget. Don’t you mix your own too Paul?
I use similar mix but I am not a fan of Peat Moss. I prefer Coco Coir. Fox farm makes CocoLoco Potting Soil which I love with a passion. It’s the same as FoxFarm Happy Frog but instead of it having Peat Moss it has Coco Coir.
@@tristardragonfruit I was trying to mix the Gary M style soil. Perlite is already in the mix. I saw someone else with the same issue who use lava rock with success. I finally found the brand name but it’s 80$ shipping. That’s more than the product so I’m narrowing to maybe a lava rock shell mixture . Those a readily avail materials here.
Very helpful! It was good to see the ratio of what goes into your pots (it’s clearly working well for you - look how happy your plants are)!
I love this approach. I use this same approach and my DF's love it.
Love it!!

Thank you, David. I keep my plants simple. No need expensive soil. My plants are healthy and I’ve been growing for years.
I agree with you both. Great video.

Paslang2 pango pandak naman hihi
Where did you get your ratios from? Seems like you are using Gary’s Best Top Pot without the bio char.
@Chris Lee the mastermind behind his research
@@tristardragonfruit I wonder where he got his idea for “your” mix?

Hello, great video. Does the soil disintegrate over time? Do you have to add more soil after some time?
Thank you
Yes it does. Add some DG in there if u can
Salam🙏🙏🇮🇩
Good video but, Dude, you need a cement mixer.

What do you think of using rabbit manure as the top dressing?
That works amazing too!

what brand is that pumice. we cant get it anywhere in florida . wanted to try to order direct.
Have you tried your local nursery?
@@tristardragonfruit every one within 50 miles. Apparently it not a Florida thing.
@@savagestyle124 instead of pumice, just use perlite

@@savagestyle124 what issue are you referring to?

Yes u can!
