@@GardeningInCanada Friday would be good. McKenzie seeds have arrived as t my coop store so want to do that shop on Thursday. Just name the time. I'll work around it.
Great video! I've found out about sulfur when looking up herb flavor production. The liquid kelp fertilizers are apperantly high in sulfur and in my hydroponics definitely helps with flavor
Ashley, I'm loving this series. I have ammonium sulphate for garlic & onion bulbs. I have since learned from you it also have pH-lowering qualities. Now I plan to use it as a powdery mildew treatment. Btw, the amino acid graphic launched my rabbit hole connection of homocycsteine, taurine, and CKD. 🤯
I put gypsum on my whole lawn the last two years. Garden beds too. I also use Sul-Po-Mag(langbeinite) for sulfur on gardens. Gypsum + Sul-Po-Mag cover all three secondary nutrients Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, and Sul-Po-Mag also has potassium. They work great together
Mmmm more protein, gotta see this, Hope you had a merry Christmas, and here is a happy newyear to you and yours as well. Thank you for all your help this past year.
New subscriber. Very informative and easy to understand in relation to gardening. I've driven through your province many times, just put crews-control on. ✌❤
I've had quite a few times where I thought there was a nitrogen deficiency and soluble nitrogen didn't fix it. I have tried lowering ph after and had success sometimes I bet it was when I used sulfur versus other acids. Thanks again!
That is a pretty small amount. Next time you are in a garden centre or Canadian Tire (because we ALL love Canadian Tire) check out the package on sulphur for the ratios and square meters covered. (a.k.a. the dose)
I read that Vidalia onions a reputed to be mild due to the low sulfur content of the soil. That also goes for Noonday onions in Texas. I cannot vouch for that, but it seems to make sense.
We have Texas root rot in my area. Since it is a soil-bourne fungus, would it be valid to assume that adding sulfur could help minimize the risk of the root rot fungus infecting the plants?
Excellent info thanks, I usually use epsom salts for mag and sulfur but never sure how much sulfur in it. Have you looked into aspirin for mildew and harvest amounts?
What common household ingredients contain sulphur? I can only think that urine possibly has some--after all, what else could turn it yellow? That would take care of the nitrogen to go with it. The CPR trains used to come past our house, just across the road, with open trucks piled up with Sulphur looking like yellow icing sugar, from Sask. It was called "flowers of sulphur", then, but I've no idea why.
My soil is alkaline - my pH meter doesn't go higher than 8, and my soil testing kit didn't go past 7.5, so I don't know the exact pH. This past year, I've been trying to amend the soil in my garden beds with sulfur granules to increase the acidity. I had no idea about sulfur's role when it came to plant proteins. Would the granules make a difference, too?
Consult after you decide if your soil is clay like or is sandy. Also if you will be able to till it in or surface apply. If you are on sand and you can work it in you can apply the most. Prilled sulphur is safer to apply as it is not dusty but in sand the fine particles will eventually sink below the root zone. On sand add two kinds, prilled ( super fine ground ) to work soon, crystalline sulphur for much slower release. All the opposite for clay and surface application.
@@wayneessar7489 our soil is Dark Grey Zone. We have about 8-10 inches of top soil, then we have gravel, clay, sand, rocks and boulders. Especially rocks. I can barely push in a garden fork or spade before being stopped by rocks. So I am doing modified hügelkultur raised beds topped with garden soil I purchased locally (2 truck loads) that also tested alkaline. I've also been amending with peat whenever I've been able, which isn't very often.
Soils used to get sulphur from coal burning but thanks to the gang o,greens that source is gone. Farmers now buy and apply sulphur to fields but the forest are just out of luck.
@jordanschoffstall volcanoes in good years just run short in bad times . Vegetation can grow short of some minerals but it grow much better with all it's micronutrients.
Have you ever heard of applying washing soda (sodium carbonate, soda ash) to onions? Someone on another video said he'd been using washing soda on his onions for decades and always had 3+lb onions. I don't know if he was joking or not... I'm not chemically smart enough to know what effect it would have on plants.
Interesting. I thought air pollution produced more sulphur. As I keep bees, one of the alarming issues is golden rod has less protein since climate change. So maybe this issue is more complicated.
I know you got a lot to squeeze in, but you talk too quickly, I have to put subtitles on and play most sentences twice. I think you got your videos at the end the wrong way round at least.
Merry Christmas GICs ❤ who wants to do a live stream between now and New Year’s? Which day works best for everyone?
Hello Soil Lady,
It sounded like you were making a nutrient based series.
Is this a playlist??
I’m game for whatever you can offer - preference for after 4 pm pacific (6 pm Saskatchewan time).
Sun or Mon is good!
Merry Christmas, love your videos but I never watch livestreams.

S-uper video! Thanks for the education about protein and sulfur. I guess there is an umami connection as well. 🔥
Black salt is huge in Indian cuisine! Makes a darn good egg replacement with chickpea flour

turned on all notifications from you. by now i've concluded that you post everything i want to know
Please write a book, your content is so amazing! Hope you had a great Christmas and have a wonderful new year!

You can also use the whey water from making curds and whey as a preventative for powder mildew and it adds nutrient to the leaves as a foliage spray
Is another reason why Gypsum is an essential amendment for the garden

A lot to think about in this video.
I grew some pretty big watermelons last year but they were a very light pink and flavorless. I’ll try the sulfur this year, thanks Ashley.
When the tendril next to the watermelon has turned brown I don’t water for a couple days right before I pick so the sugars are more concentrated.

This nutrient series is so valuable, thank you for making these videos

Great information very well presented, thank you and keep it coming!
I was told to put a couple paper matches in the hole when you plant peppers.
That's a fun trick!

Good morning 🌞
I read that Vidalia onions a reputed to be mild due to the low sulfur content of the soil. That also goes for Noonday onions in Texas. I cannot vouch for that, but it seems to make sense.
What variety of strawberries grow well in the shade? Any other variety of fruits or vegetables grow in the shade?
Huh, sulphur deficiencies, that is very good to know, so what are naturally occurring sources of sulphur that I could find, rather than buy?
A quick Google search's pointing in the direction of animal manures being a potentially good source.
Very cool insights! Now off to find an organic way to add more sulfur to my soil! 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Thanks for you depley breaf ❤
So where would one buy sulphur for the garden, is it just in the plant section at HD or CT?
Remember also the sulphorophanes which are so beneficial to us require sulfur.
We have Texas root rot in my area. Since it is a soil-bourne fungus, would it be valid to assume that adding sulfur could help minimize the risk of the root rot fungus infecting the plants?
Excellent info thanks, I usually use epsom salts for mag and sulfur but never sure how much sulfur in it. Have you looked into aspirin for mildew and harvest amounts?
I wonder what the next element will be? Nickel would be great!
Thanks❤🇨🇦🙏😊
Can I make a Sulphur drench? As using common household ingredients or do I need to especially buy Sulphur?

@@carolhartley5982vitamin B supplements will do it. 😂
Magnesium sulphate, is that good to increase sulphur levels please?
Possibly, bath salts is made of Magnesium Sulphate. I heard that using onion juice or water and garlic as well can make sulphur tea.
Do you mean epson salts? Bath salts are a drug….people eat faces
@ no one is referring to the street drug lol GIC crew is sober lol
Is this why when i add gypsum to my soil the plants seem to perk up?
As I learned from an earlier video in this series, my 7.5 ph soil is screaming for sulfur. Maybe I get a silver lining for the inconvenience!
My soil is alkaline - my pH meter doesn't go higher than 8, and my soil testing kit didn't go past 7.5, so I don't know the exact pH.

would adding worm castings to your garden, especially containers, address the sulfur issue?
My synthetic fertz has “ ammonium sulphate “ and “ Urea” is that good to increase my sulphur in my potted plants ?
Soils used to get sulphur from coal burning but thanks to the gang o,greens that source is gone. Farmers now buy and apply sulphur to fields but the forest are just out of luck.
And, just for knowin', where exactly did soil get its sulfur from for the millions and millions of years before humans began burning coal?
Absurd.
@jordanschoffstall volcanoes in good years just run short in bad times . Vegetation can grow short of some minerals but it grow much better with all it's micronutrients.
@@Art-um7mz volcanoes are still a thing. Quick Google search shows that there are upwards of 40-50 eruptions worldwide on any given day.
A couple of handfuls of ash from the wood burner in watering can, some pee for the urea/nitrogen topped up with water? Would that work??
💚💚

I was under the impression that elemental sulfur was stable in the soil. Is this belief false?

I know you got a lot to squeeze in, but you talk too quickly, I have to put subtitles on and play most sentences twice. I think you got your videos at the end the wrong way round at least.
You can slow the speed down easily at the top right of the page.
I routinely use the captions because my hearing is not what it was. Seeing and hearing the words helps me to remember them.
Sooooo, pee on our plants?
Pee on your compost, the urine has to be processed by the microbes in a compost pile, or something else
Pee!?
False
And Why? Based on what?
Great information very well presented, thank you and keep it coming!
