How to Make a Cheap DIY Raised Bed and Potting/Container Mix & Understanding Bagged Soil Products
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ย. 2024
- Here is the next video that shows you how to amend your mix for containers or raised beds. And I show you how I set up a basic planting hole for tomato and other vegetable transplants: • Amending Your DIY Soil...
Bagged soil products generally tend to get more expensive with the simple addition of more and more peat moss. Really not much else. Sure a dash of compost, fertilzer, or perlite, but not that much to really matter. I show you how to make a very basic, easy, and inexpensive 50/50 garden soil mix for your garden beds, raised beds, and containers. You can amend this basic mix as needed.
Thanks so much for your support! Cheers & Thanks, Gary!

I was comparing prices of garden soil online and was about ready to spend a bunch of money on it, until I saw this video. I read the ingredients in the products and, you were right, it was mostly peat moss with a little fertilizer thrown in. Thank you so much for helping gardeners make our own products much cheaper!
Yep. They use fancy packing and peat is the key ingredient. I am glad you saved money.

I can't foot-stomp this enough. Followed this last year. Saved $$ - and had a fantastic season. This also takes the guess work out of what I am planting in . I love that. Thank you!
We worry so much about getting the bed filled perfectly. This works. A garden becomes what you add to it over the years. That is when the good stuff happens. For instance, adding compost and organic matter when you can each year builds up the soil.

I recall a similar video from last year, saved me hundred of dollars when I filled my raised beds and cann amend with compost and organic granular, you are a hero to the gardening community Gary, keep up the great content!
Did you do metal or wood raised beds?
I use both, I build and bought them at the time lumber prices were high

THANK YOU for the comment about compost. My biggest frustration is that people on many gardening videos for DIY recipes cavalierly say “throw in your own compost.” Ummmm… what if we don’t have any? Buying more ingredients (like bagged compost) starts defeating some of the cost saving. But your no-no sense approach and great info is why I live your channels. I’d love a video with more info on how to work around the “no compost” situation for those of us just starting out or who are unable to have compost heaps/tumblers. Thank you for making gardening so approachable and less intimidating!!
Exactly. All my video could be 30 seconds long. Grow in full sun, water regularly and use compost. Done. That would be silly. Took me years to be able to find I place I could compost on scale.

I found this video 2 days ago. Immediately bought 2 yards of loam soil and two bags of peat moss; I already had granular organic fertilizer and today made my first mix for my raised beds! It looks like a lot of mixing but is so satisfying knowing whats in it. Very nice mix! A BIG THANK YOU
It works really well. Good luck.

THANK you, Gary. I have peat in bale bags on my patio waiting to be blended like this. I bought peat early, because last year I couldn't find it anywhere at a normal price. (2 ) 3 cu ft bales from Lowe's and (3) 2.2 cu ft bales from Menards gives me almost 12.7 cu ft to mix with topsoil and compost. Can't wait to play in the dirt!
So fun.

came to the same conclusion on my own a few years ago and man you aren't kidding with the money saver part. I actually use 1 bag of the peat mixed with 1 bag of hummus and manure mixture ( roughly 3 bucks a bag ) as a potting mix and then for garden soil I just mix those 2 into my existing soil. My top dressing is just slightly aged chicken and duck manure left in their straw bedding. I leave it near their coop and it sprouts the straw seeds which the chickens practically wipe out before it roots, then after about a month it goes on as dressing/ mulch all in one. Absolutely love the gardening community and all the wonderful things I get to learn from you fine folks. Keep sharing and growing you guys ❤️.
That is a great way to do it. Nice on the chicken and duck manure use too.

THANK YOU for mentioning Canadian harvested peat. I have zero guilt after doing my research and my garden is better for it. I also researched the carbon foot print of coconut husk. 😳 I've been following your "recipes" and saving money this year as I can't generate enough of my own compost but I'm working on that too.
Glad too. I really want people to look into how peat in harvested in Canada and how energy intensive coir processing is. It helps IMO when making decisions.

Thanks for including that part about peat moss VS coco coir. It really highlights that which product is more sustainable will always depend on where its sourced from and where you live.
There really is no perfect solution and its not realistic to say just make tons of compost. So informed choices.

Good info. I took some sandy soil from a hole my dog made in the yard, mixed that with some compost I made in the fall and now I'm growing some watermelons in it. Everything is looking good so far!
There's a lot of videos on TH-cam from Asians that grow in containers of mostly sand. I know New Jersey does pretty good too.
Cool

Ooh free labor too!
It seems that the most expensive part of creating raised beds is the soil itself. So any tips on how to do so less expensively, but still very beneficial for the plants, are very much appreciated! Thanks Gary! Carry on! And enjoy the sunny day we're finally having! So much rain felt brutal! ☀🌻😎🌱🥬🍅🥒🫑🌽🥕🥦🧅🥔🌶
You could buy a dump-truck of compost for the cost of a raised bed.
@@BlackJesus8463 not in NJ
Self Sufficient Me and MInGardener have good tips
The next step is checking out your local municipalities and see what they make. Dump trucked composted garden soil, isn't bad. But you do have to check it out first. If its not that great, you can add peat to it on a lesser scale.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I will, Gary, thank you. I did an online search a few years ago, need to look again. Concerned about municipal stuff - if they compost what people throw away, there could be anything in it. Instead of wondering, I'll ask. Thank you!
Glad to see you are an advocate for peat moss. Peat moss is great stuff because it retains water and releases it (releases better than clay) and it decomposes very slowly (could have been at the bottom of peat bogs for thousands of years). For container plants, I use 50% peat moss, 20% sand, 20% perlite, and 10% pumice. Roots need air and water first and nutrients 2nd. I do not add compost to the soil because I don't want the compost decomposing and rotting the roots (more important for planting perennials than annuals). I place a fertilizer on top, both a quick release and a slow release that contains mycorrhizae, followed by a thin layer of compost or mulch. After all, falling leaves that decompose are mother natures way of putting nutrients back in the soil (on top of the soil, not underneath with the roots).
Thats a good mix.

I buy the big peat moss, add my compost, a few worm castings, a basic 10-10-10 fertilizer and clay soil and everything comes out great. One bale of peat lasts me almost a year. Love to hear your comments on fertilizers like kelp meal, bat guano, triple super phosphate, bio char, rock dust, fishnure, horse/cow/sheep manure. Thanks for the straight forward content.
That is a really good mix BTW. I like the clay addition for so. many reasons.

I do same mix and totally saved alot.
I started using this mix 50/50 using top soil I got from a nursery and peat moss (I eyed balled the 59/50 a few times. I added mushroom compost, perlite and organic fertilizer (just eye balled those. I’m growing more spectacular plants this year than I ever have. I’m growing delphiniums in containers, something I could never grow before. My petunias are thriving in hanging pots! I actually grew poppies and they are still blooming. I’m telling you this soil mix is like a miracle mix for containers. Can’t thank you enough for this 🙏
Thats the way to do it.

SO relieved to see that top soil or garden soil mixed with peat moss works! I can only do container gardening on my balcony because I live in a small apt and spent a ton of $ on soil already and need to get more to plant the rest of my seedlings. I'm using this method from now on! Thanks for your excellent down to earth (No pun intended) advice to save money.
it works and you dont need new container soil every year. Just amend it and you end up with more for less.

Most valuable information on the internet during growing season! I had your original video on mixing soil pulled up on my phone while I was in Lowes this weekend to make sure I was getting the correct components 😄!
The old videos are essentially the same. I have simplified it a bit. But making it is the way to go.

I just filled 5-20 gallon, 6-7 gallon and 4-5 gallon fabric pots..that was a lot of soil!! potting soil was just garden soil I got on sale but $5 a bag adds up when you are planting a lot.i did 1/3 compost, 1/3 potting soil 1/3 peat moss. but i just watched your next video on how to amend. so i will be ahead of the game next year. There is some initial costs in getting started. Appreciate you letting us know how to do it as cheap as possible
You made a good mix. It does expensive depending on the Potting Mix bag. You also dont have to throw out your container mix year to year. Just amend it. You end up with more too!

😊👍 Thank you so much, Gary, I took your advice and made my own soil and I like
this better because I control what goes into my soil.
This has saved me so much money. Thank you so much again for taking time to show us
how to be self sufficient. Your videos are truly appreciated in this household. 💐🌷🍀🍅🥒🫑

Great video Gary. I also make my own soil mix using your previous suggestions. At times I also ditch the shovel 8:39 and use my hand to mix the soil 👏🙂
Hands are good.

Gary, I told an older lady this at the garden center and she was shocked. I told her I saw you explain it last year and she said, “oh I watch him too!” But somehow she had missed this info. Greetings from NE Tennessee near Bristol!
Greetings for sure and thanks for caring to tell that person. It just gets so expensive, which is fine, as long as you know what you are buying.

I make my own mix, sand, wood shavings for animal bedding, which is pine, a (little) fresh baby chicken manure, so as not to burn the plants, mixed with a little of the dirt from my yard and garden. Then water in with rain water and fertilize/water as needed.
You Sir have Helped A Lot Of People, Thank You😃💕💕💕

Good work again, Gary. People need to know the differences between these products. By chance I watched videos on potting soil and mix on Garden Fundamentals channel the other day which also gave good explanations about making choices matching your crop needs.
Thanks. I agree

I would add buy the manure in the late summer when they go on clearance. Build a stock pile of bags behind or in your shed. Come spring you already have it on hand at as much as 80-90% off.
For sure. That is a great way to do it.

Don't forget to shop around. I just went to Lowe's last week looking for peat and was surprised to see that the price is now $28 vs. last year when I could get it for $12 - $14. I had expected an increase in price but this has completely doubled. On the flip side of that Costco currently has the miracle grow raised bed soil for $7.79 for 50 quart bags. I've seen smaller 2 cubic foot bags of this selling for $14 -$17 in other places. For the amount I need to top off the raised beds and start a new bed, Costco saved me some of the heavy work of mixing soil blends.
The prices are really odd right now. Good advice.

I bought the MG at Costco just this week for that price. Are you adding anything to it for your raised gardens or just using it alone?
@@cloudmccauley I think the only thing I will add is some compost and azomite rock dust as my beds are pretty well established. They just need to be topped off and I think the azomite will help to re-mineralize the soil. The compost bin looks to be pretty full and ready to use so that will help spread the MG a little further.
Great information Gary, thanks 👍👍

I've had such horrible luck with potting mixes and fungus gnats. MG is the worst for it. I've been slowly figuring out a great indoor potting mix by watching a few videos and your channels are are always consulted. Would love to see variations of potting mixes to suit different needs.

Your hands are adding extra nourishment 👍
Except that the peat moss will suck literally all the moisture out of your hands and leave you with dry prickly hands. It does mine anyway. Dirt doesn’t, just when I mix with peat moss. I wear gloves now because of that .
Oh I read your comment wrong. Sorry. I thought you said getting extra nourishment.
A tad,

Hi Gary if you add your own soil don’t you get weeds and poor drainage . I now use compost , peat moss or coconut 🥥 coir in blocks with vermicelli this has worked for me. 😀
You can always get weeds but they are easy to pull. 1/2 of you own soil and the peat make a really base soil. You can add more if you feel it drains poor. Your mix is really nice. Some earth in that, IMO, brings in microbes and micro nutrients. However your compost does the same.

Can't find it in GA either.
Last year I filled several tree size nursery pots with the cheapest soil from my big box store. I added in my leaves and branches as I filled the pots. This year I am topping those pots with more leaves and my compost, add in cheap fertilizer and my garden is growing like crazy. My native soil is beach sand so I grow very little in the native soil. I need to go back to the county mulch pile to top off my gardens.
That works for sure

Hopefully you respond, I have crappy clay soil where I live. I bought 2 bags of garden soil, 1 bag of mushroom compost, and 1 bag of peat humus. I'm only doing a small area around the mailbox to start. Dig out 5-6" and put this mix in there, add some plumbago. Thoughts?
This is so helpful. Thank you!

Looking forward to the sequel to this.
I always liked the mix of pine mulch (not the nuggets) and cheap landscape type potting soil (not mix), sometimes more or less peat, a little lime to balance acidity of pine mulch, and perlite. I don't have much to fill, but I thought it was better than store bought potting soil.
When it's made fresh, it's too nitrogenous for tomatoes.
Working on it next for this week

I literally just had to do this exact thing today, thank you for your guidance

This is great! I am bad with math figuring out how much I would need for a 4x4 bed. That is the hardest part for me right now.
I would just eyeball it and fill half the bed with top soil and half with peat moss and if you know your soil is lacking in nutrients also put in a couple cups of an organic fertilizer (or use compost instead of peat). Then use a hard rake or shovel and blend the raised bed mix ingredients together.
So I dont know I eye it. I visually drop bags in the space and count and that is how I guess.

My local Tractor Supply has top soil that says lawn and garden soil conditioner, adds organic matter & sphagnum peat moss to existing soil. Is that ok to use? If so will I still need to add the peat moss you think? It's Scott's Premium Topsoil.
The bag stuff works. You dont need to add peat. Just check out the quality and go from there.

I have struggled for years to create enough compost and finally I have way more than I need. It's wood chip compost. I had Back To Eden ambitions. Turns out it takes years for wood chips to break down. Now I have a different problem. What do I do with the extra compost? Can it be saved for next year?
Yeah compost can sit forever.

I get some compost from my dump and they get it from another place that makes it . but this year they aren't delivering so I went down to get it , about 1/2 hour away so the cost was 27.00 dollars for a yard and vitamin is ground to 1/2 inches to where the bags have larger pieces in in it . The Costco bags I bought , I took and made it finer for my seed trays and got rid of the bigger sticks . but in my raised beds 🛌 it is OK with some big stuff , I also get bags 🎒 of pitmoss and vermiculite from a place that grows bean and peas and then they throw away after planting. So I get it and mix my own stuff and my plants 🪴 and many strawberries 🍓 love love the mix I do .
Its okay with larger pieces. Keep an eye on it. If the plants look like they are struggling give them water soluble fertilizer more often. Right seed trays finer, container and beds can handle bigger pieces

There are shortage of peat moss in my area or pay 40$ online order. Do you know alternative for peat moss? Can I use 2cf potting mix bag that’s basically have bunch of peak moss
You can do that. Its a good way to decrease costs too. Composted products from you local municipality work well too.

Gary do you care if the top soil is organic? Is there a way to know if you are just adding chemicals to your garden box with this method?
Bagged organic stuff is a bit of a farce. Its not tested. It is just based on reporting from the maker. No chemical fertilizers or sprays for 3 years and the soil or soil additive is stamped organic. The quality is not tested for stuff.

I’ve bean watching your videos for years, and love your content. At some point, I would love for you to weigh in on whey in the garden. I make yogurt weekly, and have tons of whey leftover from straining. Would this be a good source of calcium for tomatoes?
I just never use it. I think it would be a good source of calcium. I know it can be composted. Not sure how that would go to start but it would break down.

Thanks for the info Gary. And I’ve been a subscriber since 2011 - I wasn’t kidding when I said I’ve been watching your videos for years. Will check out your shop tho. Thanks again.
Hi Gary, I was wondering your reasoning behind using 50-50 native soil and peat moss vs 50-50 native soil and compost. Both ways significantly increase the organic matter for the home made raised bed mix. I'm thinking maybe you are advising to go with the peat moss because the bagged price can be significantly cheaper than bagged compost. I'm thinking if you get the finished compost from a landscape products supply place than the compost would be the cheaper option.
Compost is always king but most people dont have a lot of quality compost. If you do, 50 50 is great.

Currently at 2x 4' by 8' raised beds next year I think I'll be working towards 4.. next year.
That is how I started years back and look what happened. LOL

I have a raised bed that hasn't performed well for years. The plants don't get huge and the fruit isn't prolific like it was in the past. I'm not sure what to do as I don't think adding compost will be enough. We've done that over the last couple years. Problems seemed to have started when we picked up a 50/50 black compost and mushroom mix from a local supplier. We wonder if we got some bad soil or maybe we just don't know what we are doing.
In this case, I would pay for soil test. See what is going on. Compost will never hurt but you might need more.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you very much!
There is No peat moss for sale in my area, went to a Many stores in Southern Illinois…..can you suggest substitute ❓used up all I had left over from last year💁🏻♀️
Have you really not checked places like Lowes and Home Depot? I'm in Eastern Missouri and they always have pallets of Peat Moss when our smaller local stores run out.

I have watched so many videos on soil for raised beds. And so many different ways to do it . This is the first year for raised beds for me. And I’m a little nervous because we have put alot of money into these beds and I dont want to fail the crops. I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. Our beds are 16 inches high made out of cedar fence pickets. I bought 16 bags of organic soil for raised beds. We have a big pile of black dirt that has been in our backyard for years. I also purchased 3 bales of spaghum peat moss. Should I mix the black dirt , raised bed soil and peat moss together to fill the beds? Or leave out the peat moss? I just don’t know what to do and I need to know what to do because in the next week or so we plan to fill the beds . I just need to know how to do it. Please help! :)
I would use the dirt. You garden beds will get better year after year once filled with the continued use of compost. Filling them perfectly isn't the goal but building them up is. Organic soil probably is much different than your black dirt, peat, some shredded wood, a splash of compost and organic fertilizer. At 16 inches I would fill the bottom 4-5 inches with you black soil. The rest would be a blend some the bagged organic, peat, and you soil together. equal parts or so. Its the top 6-8 inches that gets the good stuff.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you !
Sometimes first year raised beds don't do that well. So don't get discouraged if that is the case. Good luck.
Gary! I just open the tarp I covered my raised bed through the winter. Frightened by the site of a group of baby mice. I HATE mice. Now I fear of growing anything. They are diseased born rodents plus they will chew my garden. This has never happened to me, mice inside and on my garden bed. I don’t know what to do now.
That freaks me out too. Reached into a bale of peat that was open over winter and freaked myself out. They have always been around. You just found them. Let them go. Youngsters wont make it. And they will scatter away.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN you are the best and are very thoughtful to take time and respond meaningfully. Your calling is to help the world greener with people like me. I still have goosebumps just thinking about the mice site that I saw. I don’t know if I have the courage to get back in my garden without paralyzed with fear. Ugh! I must because I have a bunch of veggies I started for the first time from seeds and they are absolutely healthy. Thanks again.
I wish I could find peat moss where I live. Neither Lowe's or Home Depot have any in store or available for delivery in my area. :( I love your channel and watch it often!! I should clarify to say I can't find peat moss in the bale like you have. It's the small 8qt sizes.
Yeah the bales is the discount. It can be hard to find

You can just use compost as soil? My township gives out free compost to its residents. You just have to go and pick it up. Do I still need to buy some peat moss?
If you can get it, it is great. You dont need to add peat unless there is a reason. For containers I would add peat to hold water.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Awesome thank you! I'm going to be growing in containers, so I'll add some peat to it.
I'm subbed already :) Been following for a while now. Thanks again for answering my question.
Using my own on premise dirt is not feasible at my house. I have only alluvial fill which is a gravelly-silt and holds no organics, or moisture, or life really so do I then buy a topsoil to use in the mix?
Yeah in this I used the cheap bag of store bought topsoil. You can get cheaper topsoil or garden soil bags and mix that with the peat. You are making the hight end bags that way but paying less. Compost from municipalities can have good compost/garden soil too.

I did the 1/2 peat and 1/2 backyard topsoil (sifted through 1/2" screen). That seemed to work well for rosemary and mint. My parsley and basil nearly died.
I wonder if your soil was more of a sandy soil and therefore would be lacking essential plant nutrients. If your soil is closer to sand I would recommend watching some of Gary's videos on how to fertilize your plants and feed at the very least once a month.
Its a good base. Mint grows anywhere. Ill be talking about amends in other places. Not sure what effected the plants.

Are you saying that the “Organic “ aspect means nothing? What kind of chemicals are in these different options?
Well organic means a lot but just not with packing. Here is the question, what make the additives organic? And why would the products not labelled organic be any different? Soil is considered organic if it hasn't had chemical fertilizers on it for 3 years. Thats about it. And the additives arent tested. Basically nothing is tested. Its a time frame. You would think it means soil tested and checked and all that but it is not.

Not sure if it was a bad batch, but I had DISASTROUS results with the same model of the fancy soil you were showing (full disclosure: I got it on sale for $8/2cu ft at a big box store). Filled up a bed with it and by mid-morning my yard was full of flies and gnats. I looked up reviews and a lot of people had the same experience.
So to your point, probably not worth it.
It happens with a lot of them but Nature will disperse the gnats eventually.

Gotta tell you, that “Nature’s Care” raised bed soil gave me a TON of fungus gnats. I bought 15 bags from HD and I’m not lying when I tell you those bags were INFESTED with them. Ended up returning 8 of them for other soil
All I can say is... it happens to often
