THANK YOU! So many folks get a houseplant or potted plant, and for some reason it dies. Then they toss the plant AND soil out, and keep the empty pot. Folks, dirt ain't dirt cheap no more! Save it! Reuse it! Improve it! Follow the seasons and reasons the Lord has given us: Winter when most things are dormant and resting, Spring when things are first SPRINGING up, Summer when things are in full production and really thriving, and Fall when things are slowing down and the deciduous leaves FALL back to earth to replenish the soil. It's the cycle and circle of Life 🔁 Use and respect what God has given you, and you will never be found wanting. 😇 Thank you Mr. Hollis and Mrs. Nancy for sharing your knowledge with anyone who has the eyes to see and ears to hear, and the willingness put their hands and hearts into what God gave us.
Your channel is such a blessing. Love how you give glory to the Most High for His provision. I'm new to your channel and already attached to Bing Bing. Thank you for your videos.
When you mentioned reclaimed soil, I thought you were going to take a shovel and go get the soil that your neighbor took from you. Thanks for the informative video. We do something similar. We also add Azomite.
I empty all of my used Container soil from the previous year into a Kiddy swimming pool and mix it all in there. I filled my containers from there which is a giant Is a wheelbarrow really. Before I mix it all I add the pearl light the bone meal the blood meal And some fertilizer. Your videos are awesome! And believe it or not people think that gardening is for cupcakes but if they really knew all the heavy lifting Of those bags and shoveling Of the dirt and the a moving of the containers that is done they wouldn't think that. I invite anybody to come and help and see what they think afterwards! Thanks so much for your videos and I understand now why your wife video tapes them because you can't do that while you're working
I am going no-till, leaving the container soil in place, plant my soil with another family of plants than the previous one and top-dress with a slow release fertilizer. Am just rotating. Less hauling stuff around, mixing, stirring. Looking for preserving the soil structure and less disturbance of the microbes that maintain it.
Hollis and Nancy Thank YOU so much for your free video and your time. Everyone, please donate to this FREE awesome information so they can continue to give us advice. Hollis and Nancy answer really fast too most time.
Oh Hollis can't wait to see your maters this season!!! You know how jealous this city girl gets when she sees them! Let's face it, I love seeing all the stuff from your garden. God bless and keep you guys. Talk again soon...
you da man; Hollis. Apparently you found the right Woman. I'm not a Religious person, but you are Blessed. Thank you and your Beautiful wife,for sharing your lives with us. Live long; and know, you both have made the world a better place. LOVE AND PEACE BE WITH YOU BOTH ,ALWAYS. sorry for the "caps" .you earned it. li
The 2 of you are such a wonderful Blessing to the young gardeners that are starting their gardening journey and to us that have did a little bit of gardening here and there over the years.the way you break it down what you do & why you do it without it sounding overwhelmingly complicated is a blessing & all I can say is thank you for the time & effort that it takes to make these videos.
+Kittie Sher Thank you so much for your kind words of compassion. I am so sorry for your loss too. I know the pain is terrible for you. Grieving the loss of your grand child is bad but watching your child grieve the loss of their child is even worse. Grand parents grieve twice. May God comfort and heal your broken heart during your season of grief and give you the strength to help your child recover from the loss of their child💔
My husband and I tilled the soil ,made the holes and rolls ,planted the plants ,and put the seeds in the ground , today . Now I am relaxing with you .So Good!
I started watching your videos to learn to be a better gardener(still trying)but a long the way you've also have been a blessing. Thank you for the message you give, the love in your heart, may God continue to bless and keep you.🙏
I will be sure to gather up all these ingredients to be prepared in the spring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I sure do appreciate seeing pets in gardening videos. I am missing my cat I had for sixteen years. It is such a comfort to see your inquisitive little dog!😍
I used an old medium sized kids pool and dumped all my container soil in it. I also put in peat moss, manure, 10-10-10- fertilizer worm castings and home made compost and mixed it up with a shovel. Man that's the best container soil I've ever had!
Can you keep the soil in it for a very long period of time? I'm concerned that the soil might rot if it is sitting in plastic till next spring. Is that crazy?
I just keep the soil in the pots over the winter and in April dump them all in the old kids pool and add all the amendments that I mentioned above. You can add whatever you want as well. This was a huge success and I will continue to do it in the years to come. The Tomatoes that I grew in them were the best container plants I ever grew. I think adding the peat moss was great because it helps a little to contain the moisture. It will certainly revive the old soil.
Really, really enjoy the videos. My dad recently retired after 46 years in the oil and gas industry, he has zero hobbies. In an effort to try and find something for him to do I began gardening. It's enriched both of our lives tremendously, he really enjoys doing it. Outside of the grandchildren it gives him an excuse to come into town to visit. We both enjoy you're channel, I've personally learned quite a bit. Many, many thanks.
+Peepininmywindow That is so awesome!! The garden is a great place for grandfathers and grandkids to build precious memories together. I'm glad y'all like our channel and that it has helped you. Peace to you both❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your given time in such a warm and welcoming way!🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I enjoy your channel and love the way that you’re sowing the seeds of The Word of God right alongside the seeds in the soil. May the words you post fall on fertile soil, every one. I must say though, that in all my years of gardening, I’ve yet to buy a bag of anything to mix in to The Lord’s soil. I *do* use a lot of compost and wood ash from our wood stove, and my yields have always been abundant, Praise God!🙏🏻 I know that soil quality differs widely from place to place, and we’ve been blessed with rich, dark earth here in these mountains, and I know that the mineral content in it is high. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t needed additives yet.... Blessings to you both! Love and All Good Things, Jesse.🌹
You have awesome soil. In Virginia I had terrible clay. Here in Florida it is even worse....Sugar Sand. Word soil ever!!! It is taking a lot for me to build the soil but I’m doing it organically which takes several months
Oh my gosh I just realized your wife does cooking videos! I had a good friend/neighbor that was Korean and she taught me a few easy recipes that I love so much. Now to go binge on her cooking videos!!! I hope she continues making them . 🤗
Look at garage sales for a used Harbor Freight cement mixer. When I was done with my projects, I sold mine for $100. When he finished his project, he sold it for $50. It would mix the soil very well. Jerry Miculek uses one to clean brass for reloading.
Thank you for this great idea. I have an upcoming project to pour a cement slab for a dog kennel. I think I'll buy a mixer for that and then use it for mixing the soil.
Hollis, you and Nancy are a God-send. You've just answered the revitalizing questions I've had on my mind. Thank you and God Bless you both and Bing Bing, too!
At 7:39, behold the Grand Exalted Master of Ceremonies! Patiently observing the goings-on of us simpler folk. Ever quiet and non-judgmental, but with an air of confidence and serenity. An inspiration for all to behold!
Thank you. I really enjoyed this video. Very well made, and excellent info. 💜 I knew as soon as you began to speak that you loved Our Lord. I could tell-I said, “Lord, these are my Brother and Sister in Christ, I see it all over them. Then when you prayed and blessed the harvest-I nearly cried! This is going to be helpful for all the soil I just reclaimed from old pots. I also shared the video with my flower and garden group. Excellent! Thanks & God Bless!
You guys are the sweetest! I'm binge watching you while working and I'm so excited to have some farmers in my same growing zone! Much love from Tejas!!!
You guys have been a lot of help. I have now planted 30 20 gal. blue tubs in my garden so far. Oh yea I am also going 7 different types of lettuces in the white paint 2 gal tubs and build a table like yours thanks for all the ideas.
Hey Hollis and Nancy just wanted to come back to this. I’m new to gardening (started 2 years ago) so I used this method. I have to tell you that my plants absolutely love it! I’ve never had tomato plants so big with so many fruits. Last year my best pepper plant gave me 7 or 8 fruits all year. I just counted on one of them 15 fruits and just as many flowers! Thank you so much for sharing your information
Hollis & Nancy I love your videos- I live in Brisbane Australia & you have helped me so much with my little backyard homestead as well. Thank you so much. It is winter here at the moment but still growing well as we are sub-tropical 17th July 2018.
So glad our video have helped you! Spring will be arriving in your area just as winter has set in here in Florida. Best of luck to you with your spring garden this year
+Dan Rhomberg God bless you Dan😇😇. We needed some encouragement. We get some pretty nasty comments sometimes attacking us for our faith. Peace to you❤️
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead lol...Naw, you guys know better than to let that bug you. Turn the other cheek as they say...In my experience those type live a miserable existence until they figure it out...After all, when faced with death if they get one second to ponder it, everyone prays right then. God bless guys and keep up the great videos...Glad everythings back on track after the hurricane.
Love your videos! I didn't know I wanted a homestead of my own until a few years back wen I started building raised beds. My garden isn't much to brag on but it's working to become something nice
Yeah! I have missed all. So glad to see y'all back. Now I need to inspire my hubby to build me one of those boxes. I'm doing a lot of grow bag planting this year. So I need that box! And one of those outdoor sink and table! Love ❤️ it!
That was great to learn how to revitalize, amend, and re-use potting soil! I love your videos! I have followed you for few months ago! We just moved into a house with a little (backyard) garden. It has existed raised garden beds and they are very dry (look dead to me), not planted for years. So, can I do the same thing to revitalize, amend, and re-use bed garden soil in place of potting soil? I have heard that we should use the potting soil for the raised bed garden. Please let me know! Thank you so much for your guidance! Many blessings to you both! Viviane
+watchthisdad Best of luck to you with your container garden this year 👍👍👍. We got some new camera equipment, we are still learning how to use everything. Hope to greatly improve the videos over the months ahead
You completely convinced me to start a reclamation box (mine is in an old bath tub my Dad used to grow lettuce in). Its working great. Thank you both for all that you do. You are an inspiration.👍
I watch your videos on growing Korean vegetables. I want to make my own kimchi and vegetable sides but my Korean isn't great and I can barely read the instructions on the seed packet. I studied your tutorials on growing chamoe and mu so I can start! thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I'm new to gardening and I've been searching for someone like yourselves to teach me. Your a real blessing! God bless
You guys are awesome! You two inspired me to do a container garden, maybe next year I'll have an earth garden, if I can keep the armadillos out of my yard. thanks for all the videos and God bless!
Never tired of seeing you mix that soil! Reminded me that I still need to get some blood and bone meal. I found a nearby source of free aged manure and a great sale on lime... but you quoted a better price for lime so I suppose I'm still paying too much. Happy Gardening.
Nice vid. I put everything except peat moss. I add organic fert in each pot individually, 1cup and 3 weeks later the 2nd cup of organic fert with cypress mulch on top. For better wate uptake , I use a spade to aerate the earth every 2 weeks
I enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative and helpful. I love the prayers you guys do in the end of videos. Keep up the good work and God bless you guys!
Hey there! Loved the video! A request, please? Could you fit in a video on how to compost properly, what to put in it, what to avoid, what works best to amend soil, etc? If you have time, I would love to see it! Apologies if there's already a video that covers this. Thanks!
+Lisa Ingram I have a video on how to amend reclaimed spent container soil. I plan to do a composting video when we get set up at our new homestead. Our community rules will not allow composting at our current location
just wanted to let you know that i really enjoy your videos they are extremely informational and educating. I built a trellis for my cucumbers this and beans this year. they seem to be doing wonderful thanks
