Your front garden is beautiful, Jimmy. Thanks for the tour of Pro Peat. I was searching for "how plant fertiliser is made" and yours was the only video I could find that showed the actual factory process. Props to you, I'm now a subscriber. Best wishes from a gardener in England!
It’s beautiful when an expert that acknowledges the beauty of an outdoor living style sections it and sets his skills.. nothing about culture or heritages
Still so new to the DIY game I’m still trying to figure out what materials to use. So many people I follow and get to learn from are positive about this product. So, I’m going to give it a try. TY for the info.
Great video I know I'll be ordering some now thanks to all of you that show us these videos and of course its dirty if it was a clean facility I'd be sceptical of buying it
Cool.....what material do they use for binder, and when material hits the granulation pan, what moisture content is the peat and mineral fertilizer? Anyone know?
I know of some people who will travel to the nearest state that has retailers and buy it that way. They have a search tool on their website - www.propeat.com/retailers.php
Jimmy Lewis from Home Depot offers 7-4-14 / 10-0-10 / 11-11-11. I’m thinking the 11-11-11 would work best on my AZ Bermuda in between my regular Turf Royal 21-7-14 apps?
I like seeing these kinds of videos. However that factory isn't up to the standard of many German factories that look like you can eat off the floor lol.
There is a difference between messy and disorganized. Disorganized is not good because you can never find anything, messy is just showing it is working
you didn't tell us how fertilizer is made..........you just show us which flour is nitrogen, phosphorus and others..........but you didn't show us how to build up and made those things.....you didn't show us what is inside those flour and what made each of those........we want to know how fertilizer is made..........not processing
The answer is the haber process. Basically you used electricity to turn the nitrogen in the air (the majority of the air) into ammonia. Ammonia can be further converted into ammonium sulfate by the addition of sulfuric acid (sulfur is mined from volcanic regions and converted to acid in water). Potassium is just mined (potash) you can also make it by burning plants until they are only the white ash. This ash when mixed with water in a pot yields “pot ash ium” (I swear to go that’s a real fact). These are specifically not “organic” as the feed stocks are synthetic. That’s not a problem (most food is produced with it) but organic fertilizers source these molecules by breaking down plants and animal waste (they put it in a giant bin and let bacteria go to town turning it into sludge and then dissolving it in water.
