We've always used Dr. Earth products and now we're even MORE excited & proud to use them! Thank you for your ethics & integrity! 😁👍
ethics are important.
Do u happen to know if the date stamped on the bottom of their fertilizers are "use by dates" or "manufacturers date?" I just bought a couple value packs in boxes and it didn't have a date on the box but when I opened it, they are all dated for about a yr ago. Its very unclear if its expired or not! I was really looking forward to using them, but now I'm skeptical! If u know please share your wisdom!🙏 ❤🌱
You realize this guys “ethics” told him to release 500 invasive Chinese mantis egg sacks into the wild. The ones that eat our native , snakes , lizards , and humming birds. Morals and ethics for days. Hahahahahaha
Not to most Americans. The average Americans philosophy is "as long as I get mine"
Where does the "feather meal" come from used in Docs products?
Dr Earth's products are my absolute favorite. Loved this episode John. Thank you so much, your passion is contagious😊.
Best GYG episode EVER! So interesting to hear the specifics about why certain ingredients are or aren't used. I bought some of the liquid fertilizer sprays for the first time in the past year when I saw them at Grocery Outlet, and discovered that I could use them on my houseplants without making the place stink! I also noticed how perky my plants were within a couple of hours.
I don't use many store bought products (I have my own backyard chickens and make my own Humanure compost) but I am now a Dr Earth fan for life. (As long as you don't sell the company to some soulless corporation, that is.)
Milo "Dr Earth" is an amazing person . Thank You John for this fantastic video .
I’m so grateful for this video! My greenhouse store near me carries these products and I had no idea how great they are!!! Going to pick some up now! 😃
I LOVE Dr. Earth! Great stuff!
Fantastic interview. I have been a Dr. Earth fan for several years, and pretty much don’t use any other brand of soils and fertilizers. But it was really interesting to hear the company’s history.
What a great video! So informative, and I am now sold on Dr. Earth.
I make my own compost, with the fall out from an acre partially bordered by leafy trees, and lawn, wood dust from my shop, ash from my wood stove, and of course, green food scraps. My beds are added as I have the material to use 100%. Lots of worms every where in my yard and in my compost. I use the cardboard and no till method. Awesome food of the gods, have been the result. Thanx John for your dedication and drilling home the goodness and deliciousness of home grown vegies. YUM.
thanks for making videos! ive been researching for years and you've pushed me into organics! Thanks again mate!
His knowledge and ethics are great.
I love everything about this. I'm sold. I've seen Dr. Earth products at my local Sutherland's, which has fantastic plant sales in the spring! I would LOVE to see Milo's home garden and the Dr. Earth facility!
Great interview. Dr. Earth is the man. Thanks
love this episode. I can't believe I literally just went to the nursery today but didn't know what to buy. I am ordering Dr. Earth today. awesome episode
For my soil based garden. I make my own worm castings, mixed with coffee grounds, ground egg shells, dried and fine chopped potato skins and dried ground oak leaves. My soil is infused with fine sawdust bedding and sawdust from mu wood shop. All this decay causes nitrogen and related. My garden grows insanely. Cost is zero for fertilizer.
if my suspisioun is correct, worm casting is still the best but when or rather if you raised up high in the money business, quality is not that important and making money without effort is more and more imporatnt.
no wonder, it warns against the trap in the desire to be rich in the holy bible, Gods inspired Word - the lessin in love as Jesus Christ is said to have called it trough a modern day priophet(bertha dudde
@@jesuschristislordoflordsan427 what???
I do a similar thing but add brewer’s yeast. Incredible productivity but by far 1000% improvement on taste
@@jesuschristislordoflordsan427 bertha dudee to you my friend. Great reply. People need to hear the spank of the prophet to bring back the love of peace over the love of money. It’s better to wash your clothes than to lose your soul. Peace and love. Bertha dethe 👠

What ever gets the job done!!! I've been using DR EARTH a few years out door 👍 love it.🍁☕😤💨✌
what is the cancer warning p65? is it the bag?
Absolutely one of your best shows ever.
Great idea to save bags to put your mixed soils to keep it moist. I was considering buying big tubs but that takes up more room and not cheaper either. Use for plastic mulch, or use the bags for a grow bags.
I just bought some at Home Depot this afternoon and now I'm stoked!
What an awesome company!
Excellent interview John! i've been strictly using Fox Farms potting mixes and products for years. After watching Milo I am definitely going to add his product line. I love how conscientious he is about doing the right thing for everyone and for the plants and earth. :)
Sheryl
Thank you Sheryl
I use Dr. Earth and this video has reassured me that i have chosen correctly. I grow medicinal cannabis in the Missouri Ozarks and will only use organic non gmo products.
That's illegal
This was great!! Milo, great story, friendly, well spoken 👍. Im not a "gardener" i grow weed in my closet (with dr Earth!) but i respect a man that does his own gardening. Very cool.
I just started using Dr earth products because a few people recommend the brand to me. I was surprised when i read the bag and learned it contained beneficial microbes and thats what sealed the deal for me. I amend my soil and coco with many of the products they offer.
What a great episode! 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm using Dr earth bloom , working well as top dressing, incredible results.
I love hearing about the good quality of Dr. Earth from the man.
I like this guy he seems very down to earth I will definitely be supporting his products.
Thank you for introducing me to Dr Earth.
I am grateful to be passionate about organic fertilizers. This is my first year of.....but won’t go back to other. I enjoy knowing the science of growing things and cooking healthy foods. Fun for me. Ahna
Love the Essence!! Favorite product and your from Los Angeles!! 💯❤️👍🏾
Doctor Earth I haven't started using your products as of yet but I'm sure they are great I just want you to know I love your dream and story I love gardening but I only do flowers you give hope to the small dreamer keep up the good work!
Great videooo everyone should bebwatching this,, specially the art in which he explains why he needed to get rid of bat güano and other amendments that are really not that viable. Great man Dr. Earth you are one of the Best!!!!!
Need to make this man in charge of our agriculture system for the USA
Dr Earth burnt my transplant.
LOVE THIS GUY! Milo Shamus THANK YOU FOR THE STORIES! SO INSPIRING!
This story warms my heart
Great family
I’ll keep getting the products Forsure
Dr. Earth is by far the best amendments that money can buy! I love his products! They really have impressed me when it comes to organic amendments and fertilizing! He's a genius!
They use "feather meal", where does that come from, organic, free range chicken farms? I don't think so.
😍 Loved this video. Thank you this is what I was looking for! I'm buying Dr. Earth products !
Dr earth is great, but i also use fish fertilizer and seaweed fertilizer. I rotate. My plants get huge leaves and lots of flowers. I also chop and drop and use coco coir as mulch also, since my climate is very, very dry. I also grow microgreens, so we always have leafy greens and sprouts to eat. Everybody should grow at least a little bit.
Be careful, lots of fish has heavy metals.. heavy metals can be high in organic as they rarely test for mercury , lead, and such.. look up all legit products on washington state fertilizer search.. it will show chemical tests and ppm of each mineral like lead and arsenic also! Do NOT USE SEABIRD GUANO, IT IS SO BAD for heavy metals
I bet your soil is awesome keep it up.
Thanks John. Great video. I learned a lot.
what a story!! Awesome the dad had so much belief after all that hard work tailoring.
My bonsai sensei gave me this stuff for my bonsai. They are very happy!
The 5-5-5 life mix makes EXCELLENT compost tea, and I especially like it for the lactobacillus acidophilus.
I use 3 4lb bags per 55 gallon barrel. I add fulvic, fish hydro, and liquid kelp. Under the microscope I get more concentration of life than I do my green based compost i made with grass clippings and sawdust. I will ALWAYS use doctor earth now instead of compost in my teas.
This video was incredible
I had no idea Dr. Earth products were this awesome!! So glad I found this locally!! Thank you for being a beacon in the dark!!
Are they? They use "feather meal" which this guy failed to mention. Where does that come from?
Thanks for this interview, inspiring for entrepreneurs who want to do something good for this planet.
Great interview. Hope to see him again.
Dr. Earth rocks! Got it available in NY state
I use Dr. earth on all my fruit trees, and want to know where I can get it in 50 pound bags. Love the stuff, let me know if I can because I'm going to use it all through the orchard, let me know. Thanks.🍒🍒🍒
Impressive, the both of you fellas. I'm headed out to pick up some Dr. EARTH products today!
Dr. Earth is the best
I love that he has it in his raised beds. That means it works.
John this guy is the shit! Straight forward and simply organic!
Thanks for bringing Dr earth into your channel very interesting
I wish there were cannabis-specific directions on the Dr Earth website.
There is...
Keep it up the good work I love watching your shows. God bless you
I use the Dr. Earth fertilizer for veggies and my plants love it. Thanks John. 👍
Great questions and answers!
❤️much respect for Milo! i don’t get to c ur episodes very often i am so glad to catch this one!
Great show + great story
I seen his products online.i may get some doctor earth fertilizer this year!
What does "digested food products" mean in the Liquid Fertilizer? Manure?
he mentions enzymes so im guessing that.
Thank you. Still 2020 still not much videos about them. ... thank you. Trying them out. ...
I absolutely 💯 loved this thank you.. keep up the great work love ur attitude, happiness and videos God Bless you 🙏
Thank you john....great video.....great info.
Does he get fish meal from farmed fish or is it all wild caught sources?
Would like to hear more of what Dr. Earth has to say...
I know i'm super late on this video, but if anybody knows where to get one of those doctor earth's little magazine pamphlet, things that would be super cool
John you are so funny! I just watched you on this other guys channel and it was so entertaining! People are over there commenting and they claim you’re over 60! Lol. I think it’s funny! You do look great but my common sense tells me that you are no way over 60. Lol keep up the good work in sharing a healthy life style!
i got some for the first time today.. excited to check things out under the microscope
I think he is pretty legit. Generally thought so--but I always wondered. I love the story. I like several brands...when I do use inputs or supplements and not my own compost or soil--his is among them. Probably more likely to take his products off the shelves now that I know a little more of the story. Environmentally conscious. Congrats, Milo !
DR Earth
The GYG t-shirts are sadly limited... both sizes and designs... why??? I could understand if it was just popular, but these things show a shipping date of months ago and in limited sizes to boot.
Dr Earth baby yeaaa!!!

I am sitting here putting his planting soil mix in pots. Then this popped up .I found this on sale and bought what I could. Now on sale again and I am gona get more.
Where did you get it?

At Home Depot, Perris Blvd, Moreno Valley CA
Biobizz has the best OG Fertilizers I've ever used.
Dr. Earth soil is the truth!
Awesome!
Great interview!!! I only use Dr. Earth fertilizer.
makes me happy to use dr earth dry nutrients
I started my seeds a bit early for my growing area. I want to put some Dr earth fertilizer on the seedlings with true leaves. They are still in their starter cups... How should I dilute the fertilizer for these babies. I plan to put them in the ground in two weeks.
I mix mine with water just a few pumps goes a long way. I prefer a more dilute solution.
Hi, I have an suggestion sell juicers on payment plans too.
How do I sub to the magazine and buy products.?
Ask a dealer or a nursery that sells Dr. Earth, and they will give you the book
Also ask them to get the product if there are not in stock.
How awesome. I've been using Trifecta Plus. Which seems to work great so far. Big MIgardener fan as well as a Learn Organic Gardening fan. I bought some Dr Earth today (in a pinch) with a bit of uncertainty. Although organic & I ultimately heard good things. I was buying it from Walmart & am still learning all the details of feeding. While sifting through opinions my main thought was, I like to buy from people & companies I know. I thought to myself Walmart sold product, big company, dont know owners. Feeling uncertain but ingredients look good to my knowledge thus far. Well go figure, one of my favorite channels interviewed the guy with an hr long video giving me the info I want to know. Always enjoy hearing real people tell me their thoughts (even in video) vs. reading through opinions & sources. Good to know one of my favorite channels always has what I'm looking for & in depth. Thanks John!
Ooo if you havent subscribed to this channel I highly suggest you do these three channels: Learn Organic Gardening, MIgardener, & The Gardening Channel with James Prigioni. If your learning these 3 are great organic gardeners & educators. Sorry for the long post. Thanks John. Keep it up!
Now I fully understand why they call it Dr Earth. Instead of Dr. Your Garden lol.
Great Video!!! I’ll check them Out!!!
Hay i have an idea .why not we mix all materials which make fertiliser..eg.seaweed,fish ,fruit wast ,green wast,molesses,all animal wast even animals in zoo too,animal urine , different types of yeasts,milk products wast,and list may be big...when problem got persentage may be selected.this all materials are not used for other purposes so use of is good for fertiliser use.. please think about it ..i dont want any feedback for me but want see filds more green....
where to buy Dr. Earth organic fertilizer?
where to buy Dr. Earth organic fertilizer
Hi John, i have a question . I am just about to use Dr Earth for a grow with some auto’s, i just watched a video with you and Josh from boogie brew and recommended natures pride organic with manster Marks system...So my question is which of the two do you think is better for what i am doing...i actually bought both company’s veg and bloom so i am going to run a side by side test just to see how they both perform. Both will be the same strains in the same tent in coco under a gavita 1700e light with co2 and climate controlled for temp and humidity. I will send or post some pics once i start in about a week
Wow you done well good man
We like cow manure because it is rich in nutrients and is the cheapest (almost free) organic source.
India is one such country where cow manure (aged for a year or more) is used extensively in farming. Without cow manure I don't think there was any other cheaper and best way to make soil lively and fertile and nutrient rich. Till today aged cow manure or worm castings made out of cow manure is used.
Basically cow manure is free as majority of the farmers use cattle to till and do all the farming job.
I live in america. Pennsylvania to be exact. My grandfather and I planted Gardens every year to feed us. Not a huge Garden but approximately 50 to 60 meters long by about 20 meters wide. Several months before planting we would have a local farmer who leased Farmland from my grandfather bring cow manure and spread it over the garden. Is there for the entire season and did it year after year. Everyone was always very impressed by our garden and how much we got from it. It fed my grandparents and my mother and I along with the entire family at holidays all year long.
He's saying that you can use it but he doesn't like chicken manure from egg ranches.He said Mama's and papas cows are the best! But not from a dairy.
i purchased all purpose organic soil recently and it dose have a lot of wood product in it.
i love and use dr earth products, got to check out their catalog!
