#Supersoil 

Do your other friends have videos of their results? I'd love to see them.

Thanks

Thank you kindly

@@jasons-jungle 👍❤️👍

Thank, glad the years starting off again

Thanks you, hibernation time is over - although the snow doesn't seem to agree with that

@@jasons-jungle Yes - the snow. We still have it in Zone6B.

Thanks - I do wish i had it a few years ago when all my soil wasn't as far on as it is now.

@@jasons-jungle yep can take a good while to get the soil healthy can't it, probably would benefit some parts of our plot still always struggling to find enough mulch and compost

Yep, that's basically what I thought. I said that it was marketed towards more depleted soil.

I can see you replied to Patricia's comment, but no separate comment other than this one. YT's done that to me a couple of times - having typed up a decent reply only to have it disappear

@@jasons-jungle Umm - it was before that. Oh well. Something like, maybe your soil is already teeming with microbial activity so what you may have done is introduced a few new types to increase the diversity.

That's basically what I think as well. I have suspicions about the types of micro-organisms that it may contain. If I remember your trials correctly, your spent (or poor quality) bagged compost showed an increase in nitrogen but not much difference in the P or K. This might suggest that there's free living nitrogen fixing bacteria in it helping to improve the nitrogen levels. P and K can't be sucked into the compost and have to be there already, although it might contain some bacteria that can convert insoluble minerals into water soluble nutrients that are more plant available. I'm also guessing that because of the process for making most commercial compost is so different from the home compost pile the bagged compost might be defect in these types of micro-organisms, whereas home compost isn't as hot for most the time and tends to sit longer giving the microbes time to colonise so that the beds get a healthy top up of bacteria with the compost. We tend to focus on the bacteria that breaks down the material to compost but adding a bit of supersoil to a pile as it stands may give it a boost on new allotments whilst the soil population builds up.

@@jasons-jungle Maybe why it is not targeted at small users 🙂 Their website explains it better.

​@Digwell Greenfingers super soil does spread rapidly so separate beds would hopefully see a difference Steve & Jason.
