I wish we could sit down and talk. I'm near to 70 years and have had near to 40 gardening seasons. I learned something new every one of them, mostly from failures. Compost 6 mos to 18 months EVERYTHING you put into the soil. Even rabbit manure (6 mos). Your tiller is your best friend. Set aside 25% of your available ground every year for fallow composting and green ' manure' cover crops Treat the soil like the living thing it is. Learn from mistakes and honor your instincts. Thank GOD every day that HE trusts you with helping HIM provide your food. More later. Blessings.

@willowgrove631 Месяц назад

Viewer from the UK here … I’m so sorry this happened to your crops. We have had the same issue here, with bags of compost containing horse manure, where the horses’ hay has been treated with herbicide. Apparently, this stays in the manure after going through the animal’s system … it’s called Aminopyralid. It happened in several different brands of bagged compost. Some companies refunded people for the affected compost, but many didn’t. When I buy bagged compost now, I sow a couple of bean seeds as a ‘tester’ to see if aminopyralid is present, and then I go ahead with all my seeds if there’s no problem. I really hope your next crops flourish after all your hard work 😊👍

Danny fron Deep South Homestead has been warning against Black Kow since either right before or right around the pandemic. My sincerest apologies that you have had to experience this. In the future Danny recommends testing purchased soil and/or fertilizer by plantong peas. They'll germinate in less than a week. If their leaves fall off shortly, then something is off with the purchased product. I hope this helps.

Bought Sta Green product at Lowe's for potting up plants in the greenhouse. They developed a brown powdery mold on the soil surface. Over 100 potted plants. Dumped product in trash bag and tried to salvage what plants I could by using different soil. Took the Sta Green bag of soil back to Lowes for refund and told a lady with a cart full of it to steer clear of that crap. She said she had so many bags because they were on sale for 2 dollars. I said, 'That's why they are on sale". She left her cart right where it was and said she would start all over. Why would we think that those in power who lied to us about everything would provide us with clean soil??

I have avoided all these 5 for $10 sales the Lowe’s Home Depot keep having on this soil. Something in my spirit said something ain’t right with that soil. I have been purchasing from a local nursery. It’s a little more expensive but I need my crops. Blessings to you and your family ❤🙏🏽

I think if they are selling off last year's bags, then they will have had time to compost and fully break down. Hopefully they will be much safer. I was thinking of going to get some Black Kow this week which is going to be warm and I will be ready to put my own seedlings in my raised becs, but am rethinking it. Perhaps I will puchase Black Kow at summer's end and let them sit over fall and winter and use next year, giving them time to fully compost for safety.

I was using the aged chicken manure and black kow in my garden and my plants always seemed stunted, died or didn’t produce. I questioned my knowledge for awhile.

@katecoffin4179 2 месяца назад

Sure, thats it. Did you see how she added it? Handful of black kow, handful of feather meal, handful of bone meal into a 4 cup areas and swirled around. The feather meal alone can create too much nitrogen which in turn comes in contact with organic materials like cow plops and bedding from cows. She put too much into a small area. Anyway, it's life and not a big conspiracy.

@lindajustice2000 2 месяца назад

But, she as she explained…they used the old bags of manure from last year which had time to compost more. Plus she always mixed the amendments the same way for each hole. I’ve been watching her dig holes, mix the amendments, and plant her crops the same way for years. And she always has an abundant beautiful harvest. So she knows what she’s doing and how to produce healthy plants. The problem is the manure like she has explained. I bought the same stuff this past weekend and noticed that it looked, felt, and smelled different than in years past. I did plant a few plants to check it out but not all of my starts in case I have to replant. I will definitely be upset if my plants die because of time wasted as well as having to replace all the soil in my containers. Several years ago I made the mistake of planting my in ground garden and then mulching it with straw from a local farmer. I wasn’t aware of grazon then. My plants grew beautifully until they started turning weird and the leaves looked deformed. It poisoned my soil and now I only container garden in case something like that happens again. Some people are just greedy and dishonest. That farmer knew I was planning to use his straw for my garden. But he took my money and kept quiet.

It's not just replacing the plants, but now your garden in not ready to receive new plants either. This has been happening with products bought from commercial producers. Contaminants like salts, insecticides etc, get in the soil or compost and devastate the garden. One advice I heard is to test any compost or soil you buy by planting beans in it. Beans germinate and grow fast, so you can find out relatively quickly if your soil is ok.

Good Morning, Mr. and Mrs. H. I wish I watched this video when it first came out. I would have told you to run to Tractor Supply Store and purchase Sweet PDZ which removed odors and ammonia from urine in horse stalls among other things. 25lb bag for about $13.99. You can find a spot to dump your existing bags of Black Kow and mix this into it and it will quickly remove the ammonia. You will also need to scoop out all of those holes and mix the compost with that PDZ. I used it in my garden to rid it of heavy metals and excessive ammonia from run-off from the lawns uphill from my house that leeched their toxic sprays from lawn companies spraying their lawns to green them up. It can do that because of the Zeolite in it. Peace and love to you all! Keeping you all in my prayers.

@Homesteadheart you should ditch commercial fertilizers altogether and start a herd of RABBITS! Their manure is a cold compost that may be used immediately on your crops. Rabbits are prolific breeders and massive manure producers in a relatively small space. They are great lawnmowers in a paddock or rabbit tractor system. And of course they are an excellent meat and for source. Please adopt rabbits along with your chickens as the best manure replacement!

So was going to spray Peppermint EO and water and little soap on sides of bed. Not sure castor beans will grow this far north. We have 90 day growing season.

@Reddirtdarlin 23 дня назад

I'm so sorry for ya'll. I'm in Oklahoma. I'm certain that the compost I bought this year was contaminated with an herbicide. I had about 28 tomato plants that I had put out and immediately the next morning realized something was not right. I hastily pulled up and soaked the roots and replanted without the compost on the ones I could save. Many were too far gone and even some of the ones I replanted didn't make it. I grew all of my plants from seeds, like ya'll, back in February. I had already given away all the ones I hadn't used and then had to go buy new plants from inventories around town that were already picked through. It was so disappointing. It was the mushroom compost that caused the problem for me. After some research, there is animal compost included in the bags. I'm guessing an herbicide was used on the grasses/hays that passed through into the compost. I'd love to hear if anyone else had the same problem. It's heartbreaking. I think these contaminations should be tested for before being sold to consumers. Not only the impact of the contamination on the physical plant, but the fact that we're EATING what plants produce. These companies make too much money to not have a safeguard in place. The government wants to tell us what kind of cars to drive, what kind of stoves we can use, all while they sit by and allow for rampant use of pesticides to poison our soil and water sources that go into the food we eat. It's pathetic.

@joycedecker6880 6 дней назад

So very sorry ...but happy that the rest of your garden is doing well! I have heard of this happening when farmers got manure and the cows had grazed on chemically treated grass...and it caused a lot of problems on the new plants. Today I came across a you tube video on making your own fertilizer. I am going to try it on a few plants. One quart jar of warm water, 1 Tablespoon dry active yeast, 2 T. sugar or 6 T blackstrap molasses. Mix and let sit overnight....leave room for foaming. Fill 5 gallon bucket with water and let it sit overnight to come to room temp. In the morning pour the yeast mixture into bucket and mix. Water every 2 weeks with 1 cup. If desired, also mix in 1T. powdered egg shell and 1/2 teaspoon epsom salt.

I contacted a known popular brand ( black kow ) and ask about this. I was told they could not guarantee anything. And that they do random testing by placing a seed in the manure compost to see if it will grow and die shortly after germination. And that the manure comes from a dairy farm , but they had no way of knowing is the pasture or hay had been sprayed due to the herbicide has no effect on milk or its production. Do not use cow, horse, goat manure in your garden if the animals have been fed hay or grazed a pasture treated with "GRAZON Herbicide". It is used to kill weeds on pastures and hay fields. It is extremely residential in the manure-of the animal and will poison your garden , your plants will either die or grow very malformed and not produce. Do not buy cheap bags of manure compost either..This manure is NO GOOD for compost. If your not sure about the hay your feeding ask the guy that grew the hay . You'd better be safe than sorry.

It’s important to bring the plants outside and back inside for a few hours at a time until they adjust to the sunlight.

You should request compensation for the loss of both plants and potential harvst. Compost that is not properly aged destroys plants. That compost should NOT be sitting on shelves for growing!!! This is awful. These bag of soil should have been tested for quality control of their contents. BUYERs BEWARE😢😢😢

That's what I would do tell the company the lot #. This is heartbreaking. BUT you will recover all in Jesus name!

Exactly...Mr. and Mrs. H might not want to say it but I WILL. File a formal complaint so that this does not happen again. It happens with all these oligarch corporations whereby the next one must OUTCHEAPEN the one before. The buck should have stopped a long time ago. If you don't complain, you're helping the wrong team.

Someone else reported that they won't guarantee their product!! I'm so sorry this happened!

@nightswan1234 2 месяца назад

Well all those companies that can’t guarantee their product should warn the public b4 hand of this silliness and destructive practice ; not rip off and blindside people trying to grow their own healthy food! If it is grazon, now your ground is chemically altered/ poisoned for a few years!! What if that is a persons only garden space? This is not right nor ok!!

I'm sorry for your loss. We've been there. To me you are experiencing "damping off" soil . A result in our case of keeping our soil too moist. This may not be the same for you but it is something to study. I enjoyed your passion. It's like losing a family member.

Oh no. This is so devastating! I’m upset if I lose ONE crop, I can’t imagine losing my entire garden 😢 I just subscribed to your channel and praying for you all to continue pushing forward and having a very successful gardening season! ❤ Thankfully it’s early in the season so time is on your side 🙏🏼

@voodookitchenmama 2 месяца назад

Heartbreaking! This is why folks need to put up a year's worth of food and save seeds for several years crops. Prayers for you.

Just because you’ve been using a product for years doesn’t mean it’s the same years later. Sometimes companies change the ingredients.

Just like how Bill Gates bought Apple Cider Vinegar and changed the ingredients.

if they been using for years, why have they not figured anything out. .

Sometimes the owners pass on and leave the business to the kids, who didn't pay enough attention to the details on how to make the product that made their parents wealthy.

@Robbie..Ha-Navi Месяц назад

@@y0nd3r same can be said of so called farmers and gardeners . they should have paid attention . soil must be light and well drained for young plants. or they damp off...

So sad, I had new soil issues from a local organics soil company. All the plants I put into the new soil died. Everything. onions, peppers, cabbage, and kohlrabi. The peppers I had ordered from Azure standard, heirloom varieties that I was so excited for. The soil company came out and gathered soil samples to send off for testing. I'm still waiting for the results.

I had a similar experience about three years back lost all my tomatoes and could not figure it out but I had used black kow and I saw Danny on deep south homestead talk about grazon in manure compost products and thats what killed my crop. I still have a bag in my shop but it's going in the trash. So sorryfor the bad luck.
