How to Mix the Soil for Vegetable Garden!

Hi guys, I hope you have a wonderful day and welcome back. So today I will be showing you guys how I mix the soil for my garden. And so far this is one of the most question asked how I mix my soil. So today I will show you guys step by step how I mix my soil to grow a big and healthy vegetable. So in this video I will be mixing the soil for my brand new raised bed. I am expanding the garden again. I add two brand new beds for the next season and I cannot wait. We're gonna have plenty of space to grow. So my new beds I will be growing all the fall crops such as bok choy, cabbages and also lettuces. Alright so let's get started. First layer will be weed resistant. So I always add weed resistant on the bottom. It doesn't matter the bed that I set up on the ground or on the concrete. I have a couple of the beds that I lay directly on the concrete. So it's the same process. And I use the regular black weed resistant. Don't use the heavy duty one because you will have problem with drainage. And then I laid a couple layers of the cardboard. Now the next layers will be all the scrap. Anything that you can find around the garden. This is all the vegetable that I pruned from the garden. And you can use wood chip, wood trunk, you can also use dry leaf. Anything that you can find in the garden you save it. And because the more you have the scrap the more you can save money on soil. So for me this round I have very low of the wood scrap, vegetable scrap. So I use about three bags of the potting mix. I use and also half of the bag of the organic compost. You can use any brand as long as you know any compost that you like. I use this one a lot. I bought this from the local nursery because I don't think hardware store carry this the G&B brand. Alright so the next layer I add another bag of potting mix. You can find this brand at Home Depot or Lowe's. And then I add this homemade compost. This is called vermicompost because it contains a lot of live worms and worm casting. I always love to add live worms directly in my raised bed because they can make compost and worm casting right in your raised bed. Spread them out evenly and then I use the remaining of the compost another half bag. Alright so the last layer finally right. So I end up using about six bags of potting mix and one bag of compost. The organic compost that I got from the nursery and I'm using the rake to kind of like pressing the soil lightly not like really compact the soil. Just press it lightly for the soil to settle and now it's topping time. I'm using azomite. I love azomite you guys. Azomite is good for amendment for the crops, for compost, for potting soil and you can use to increase the size and yield of the fruits. And it's also an excellent for coating the seed and irrigations for the maximum germination rate. And the last topping that I'm going to add is all-purpose fertilizer. This is one of my favorite fertilizer ever. So I picked this up from the local nursery and this brand is a GNB but you guys can use any brand you like. But I love the all-purpose fertilizer especially for fall, winter, spring that I grow a lot of the and then you just fluff it up lightly on the top. You don't have to fluff, mix it too deep. Just lightly on the top soil. So I am growing some Chinese bok choy, Chinese cabbages and also brassica. I picked up some of the seedlings from the nursery especially the one that I don't have Alright guys, so I think that's it for today's video. I hope you enjoy and learn something new and if you have any questions at all about this video just drop in the comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible and thank you so much for watching.
