Soil growers can't handle this video!

  • Or can they?
    I had some fun testing out different ways of growing lettuce. I set up two wicking beds and two kratky totes. One of the hydroponic setups and one of the soil beds had Super Greensand added to them as a source of organic silica.
    Buy Super Greensand on Amazon at www.amazon.com.... Check out their website at www.supergreen... for more info. I was monetarily compensated for including their product in this video.
    The wicking beds had an unintended design flaw that gave the plants insufficient water. However, germination and seedling growth was better in the bed with Super Greensand. I think this is likely due to improved moisture retention from the silica.
    Watch this video if you are interested in the nutrients I use or the overall process of growing plants this way • How to do Simple Hydro...

      This is a very creative and inspiring channel. I hope to attempt growing plants hydroponically someday, preferably through the might of Kratky, so I'm going to keep watching and studying the videos to help get an idea of what to do when I get the materials to start. There are still a few questions I have, like where the water level should be at to start growing and what plants I should start with as a beginner, etc, so maybe you could make/recommend a more tutorial-based video, or something? Thanks!

They still grew much larger in the same time frame as what he grew under more controlled conditions. He just doesn't know anything about growing in soil it seems. You might be able to grow bigger plants on average in hydroponics systems but this video is just not a good representation of that.

    Definition of Soil:
    The top layer of the surface of the Earth in which plants grow. Soil is composed primarily of disintegrated rock particles from the Earth's crust. Soil particles are classified by their diameter. Clay particles are less than 0.002 millimeters, silt is 0.002-0.05 millimeters, and sand is 0.05-2.0 millimeters in diameter. It takes 100-500 years to produce an inch of soil from rock of the Earth. A healthy garden soil should be more than 40% silt with good aeration, water retention, and 1-5% organic matter (humus and living organisms).
    Peat moss is found in bogs and is an ingredient added to potting mixes. It isn't soil.

    • @matthewkheyfets1309
      @matthewkheyfets1309 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @The Senate you're correct. You actually need about ZERO. Your soil should be close to zero organic matter or at least under 5 percent. The organics matter should go on top of the soil about .5-2 inches thick. Organic matter around roots just begins to rot and takes oxygen away, causing to all sorts of issues. Some things just take longer to decompose. Bark works until it decays, but it takes a while for that to happen. Best soil is a mix of sand, clay, and silt. But nobody uses sand in pots because it's freaking heavy so they substitute it with slow decomposing stuff.

    You are getting lots of comments and views which boosts your channel, but sadly you are providing misinformation. It is a fun, dramatized video but not an accurate comparison. The huge difference in growth and relatively total failure of soil grown lettuce show that the earth boxes were obviously not constructed properly. I was actually quite interested in the idea but disappointed. The cross pipes with holes in them for air aren't really necessary and would have also acted as an overflow in the water chamber if the water levels were ever that high. It would also serve to dry out the soil at the bottom of the container thus blocking the wicking properties. Perhaps your wicking cup was not deep enough to be in constant contact with the water. And I would have added 2 or 3 wicking cups for a container that size. You may have been better off just hand watering regularly in a regular pot. Further more young seedlings - even in an earthbox - need to be top watered until their roots have a chance to grow deeper. Plants at that stage are sensitive to moisture levels. A mulch on the soil would have acted in the same manner as the lid on the hydroponics container protecting from evaporation. Also the soil must be fed nutrients in some manner, just as nutrients are added to water in a hydroponic system - especially if so much peat moss is used. (For that matter should not the same nutrients have been added in equal proportion to both mediums?) Did you use potting soil or garden soil? Containers plants don't do well with heavy ground soil. It compacts too much for plant roots to grow. And the only thing peat moss does is improve water retention - if it's mixed properly. This is why peat preserves and mummifies things - because there is no organic life in it to break organic matter down. I'm not cutting down hydroponics but I watched your video hoping for a fair assessment. You can claim that soil growers have and issue over this video but your methodology skewed the results.

    • @JebGardener

      Oh - I missed that in your description for this video because I didn't expand it and that's on me - but that being the case your video title is very misleading. I would feel less tricked into watching if you would have provided a text right at the beginning of the actual video. I would have watched it anyway but would not have been left with a bad taste for it. If your title had said *Attempt to compare soil growing to hydroponics* for instance, I would have still watched it because I am actually interested in the subject. I was hoping to at least learn something about hydroponics from this video. Now I feel I've just been click-baited into watching something useless. I tried to be constructive with my comment rather than just critical. But I'm left with this feeling now that the integrity of your videos is not something you care about. That may not be true but as a part of your audience that is how it feels to me. Probably it doesn't matter to you, but I will be going to other channels to learn more about hydroponics. You're welcome for my participation on this video. On the plus side I have to say - you grew some fabulous hydroponic lettuce plants. Best of luck to you.

    Hi there,
    I just want to do a quick reminder for humanity then we all sleep less stupid at night.
    1. In the soil only you have 25 % of Bio diverstity on earth, this bio diversity feed propably an other 25 % of it, in a pot or in a box, there is not much alive inside, wich explain why jeb's plants grow slow asf.
    2. Have you ever wonder where are all this nutrients you need to buy come from ? Have you ever heard of Phosporus exploitations wich is not infinite and extremely bad for environment but crucial for modern agriculture and making the nutrients jeb is using ?
    3. Soil is free, sun is free, if you take a bit of time to learn how the soil is working with all the micros, you lay have heard about permaculture ? the production is quite similar.
    Conclusion: Hydro is great, i mean for growing quick food in cities, especially in winter, but please, be aware that Humans needs bio diversity to survive, bio does not need humans, we all know that we already lost so much bio diversity the last 50 years, if everyone think that hydro and aqua is important to expand he is wrong, when you grow in hydro, you don't feed anything else than humans, it's all about profit business and selfishness,
    When you grow naturaly without any processed product, you expand biodiversity, you purifying the air, you feed insects, birds, you are not polluting, you eat food full of diverse micro nutrients.
    Sorry for my english, I am French.

    Couldn't finish the video ... found your choice of audio very irritating. If you make anymore videos with this same format, please mark them so I can avoid wasting time clicking on it.
