With over 22 years in the growing business, Logan McLean of Cool Springs Nursery joins Greg on the Row By Row Show tonight to discuss and break down the different types of seed starting mix (potting soil). Garden Update August is Greg's least favorite month in the garden. With it being so hot in south Georgia, he is using this time to prepare for his fall garden with his silage tarps. Tarping, bed prep for the fall sweet corn crop. His first crop of cabbage and broccoli started in the greenhouse. Greg recommends starting varieties in the Brassica family (Broccoli) inside, if you plant start them in the greenhouse and have temperatures that reach in the 100s, you could have problems; he also states that there is still time to plant cover crops and flowers! Potting Soil Ingredients Most of the consumer mixes that you buy in the big box store are mostly made up of Peat, which is a very common ingredient in potting soil. There are different grades of peat; the best peat to use is peat that comes from Canada, they have the superior product. Peat with a good water holding capacity is the best. Perlite is a volcanic glass that is heated at 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Whereupon it pops much like popcorn and expands 13 times its former size, resulting in an incredibly lightweight material. More porous than vermiculite. It is considered non-organic. It does drain well, and there are different grades. A lot of commercial growers use perlite to put on top of the seeds/seedlings to retain moisture. Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral that undergoes significant expansion when heated. Increases water, nutrient retention, and aerates the soil; it is heated just like Perlite. The finer the grade of vermiculite, the lower the quality - which is normally what consumers receive. The commercial line isn't as fine as what the consumer would get. This mineral has major water holding capabilities. The nutrients in Vermiculite are not as good as what is in peat; vermiculite is used for aeration in your soil. DIY Seed Starting Mix 2/4 peat 1/4 perlite 1/4 vermiculite A good mix should be dense enough to hold the plant, allow for air exchange and water flow while retaining moisture, be free of pathogens and weed seed, and meet the need of specific crops and growing environments. Container Mixes One of the most used ingredients in commercial mixes is pine bark because it is economical. Pine bark needs to be aged to work well; most "container" gardeners use this mix for tomatoes but will work with almost any vegetable or fruit grown in a container. Coir is another important ingredient, it is considered coconut fiber. A natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of coconut with a very similar water holding capacity as peat. Logan describes their companies propagation mix as using mainly sand and pine bark. Some of the varieties they propagate will have some perlite but not much. Having a mix with a good amount of pine bark and sand will help hold in moisture extremely well. Sand is used to increasing density and drainage, it is used as a filler. Logan's container mix is made up of 80% pine bark, 10% sand, and 10% peat. We do add a small amount of 3-4 month fertilizer (8 lbs per yard) which gives it a kick-start. You normally want to keep your PH level around 5-6%. Compost Compost adds nutrient value and micros while holding water and nutrients well, has a high cation exchange value. Most mixes are 2 parts peat, 1 part perlite, and 1 part vermiculite.

Keith Ramsey: [00:00:15] Keith Ramsey with garden supply company. We've had a lot of questions recently about square foot gardening. This time of year is people,  have tons of interest in vegetable gardens, and a square foot garden is an older concept. It works very effectively. It gives people a grid pattern and an outline for how many plants they can put in a space.It's more intense gardening. You're gardening with excellent soil and really good soil blends. And then, high nitrogen high Fertility. And then you're getting as much yield as you can out of each square foot. Square foot gardening, there are all kinds of recipes for soil.My biggest thing is to add three or four different types of soil so that you're. I'll usually start with a soil conditioner as a base. It drains well, and it continues to decompose. It's got the right nutrient mix. And, but the drainage is the key.And then I'll go with a peat-based some based product, an espoma organic potting soil, or a Coast of Maine raised bed mix. But all of those have the right nutrients and the right mix for planting straight into. And then I always add vermiculite. Vermiculite is. It's like Micah. That's been blown out.And so Micah, they basically heat it, and it's got the perfect consistency for growing seeds in.  I'll use that to top dress, some of these things when you're going to plant lettuce seed and that kind of stuff, but the square foot gardening there are good guidelines online.As far as what you can put in a square foot. But like on an arugula plan, you're putting four of them in a square foot. So you've got four arugula plants and four arugulas. We'll keep people in arugula if you're not using it straight in a salad for, full time, year-round, almost it's a plant that will almost get Woody, and it'll grow for a year or two, and then you pull it out and replace it, but you can use it throughout the summertime.A lot of the cool-season vegetables, we'll try to bolt and create flowers. And so you want to, you basically want to harvest it often enough, so it's not bolting. Cause when it, if it bolts and produces flowers and seed, it'll eventually just die out. Because of the nature of the plan, it's a biennial or an annual most of the greens some of them. You can see if you're seeding lettuce, you could see it across the whole square foot.Basil, you can put two to four plants in a square foot. Beets and broccoli or Brussel sprouts cabbage. Some of those bigger things are one per square foot. They're really gonna, they're going to grow out, and they're going to push outside that square foot if they get really big.And you can always cut some of the leaves off the edges to create more space for other things. The other piece of a square foot garden is a cool season, and vegetables start to end. You can pull out that section and go ahead and pop something back in. If it was getting springtime, Yeah, April May start getting hot this time of year.Your lettuce starts to fail. You harvest the rest of it and eat that lettuce. Then you go in with peppers in that same space. So it's a nice thing because one foot by one foot, you can turn the garden over in the spring. And then the same in the fall, as the pepper as you harvest those last few peppers.August to September timeframe, you want to be putting a lot of the broccoli and the cabbage and stuff in, and that's a good time of year to start dropping that kind of stuff back in. You pull your peppers out, and you put your broccoli and cauliflower and that kind of stuff back in the bed.If, as far as fertilization goes, No, you can add fertilizer to a square foot garden at any point in time when I'm turning it over. I'm usually adding like an organic plant tone—Biotene to the soil and then every year. So you want to do a soil test, and then you can add the right nutrients to adjust that out.The libraries in North Carolina have a soil test.  And the garden centers usually have soil tests, and then you send it to the extension service. NC State will do the test for you for free.Or you can drop it off. It's on borough road and behind the fairgrounds in Raleigh, but getting a soil test is a great idea. And then we've gotten soil kits at the store that you can pick up there a little faster than the state does it at their own pace, just as the state does.They get as many of them, they get piles of them in at one time, and then they have to work through that whole process.  It'll basically tell you where your nitrogen is and how much nitrogen per thousand square feet to add.And people will bring them into the garden center, and we'll go through them and make recommendations. If you're using organic fertilizer, organic fertilizers are slower to make a difference in the soil. A lot of times, organic fertilizers have to be broken down by microbes.In nature, and have to have moisture and whatnot where a chemical fertilizer. And when you're talking about veggies, how always like to remind people that a chemical fertilizer, not a chemical, it's a chemical chemically produced to get the nitrogen level up to where you really need it.So I'm never worried about putting a chemically produced fertilizer in my veggie garden. I would rather have good strong tomatoes and have actually had something that works out and produces tomatoes than wait for that fertilizer to kick in. And sometimes it requires pounds and pounds. It's different. It's put a bag of fertilizer on, or put a truckload of fertilizer on, to get the nitrogen to where you need it.With organics, I always use organics in a garden because. You can build that soil slowly but surely. You can get the nitrogen where it needs to be and get away from using as many chemical fertilizers because they are readily available. Some of them are quick release.Some of them are slow release. And then when they're gone where the organic fertilizers continue to. add fertilizer to the soil as they break down Joe Woolworth: [00:06:19] good resource that you would suggest to people for recommendations or even like a grid, layouts, gardening. Keith Ramsey: [00:06:25] Yeah.There are all kinds of stuff online. There's a square foot garden book that you could take out and take a look at. One of the keys is to plant is based on the sun. And the timing of the vegetables, so if you've got tomato plants, you're going to put them, you're going to put them in the very back of the garden.If the sun's at your back, you want everything in front of those to be able to get some sun. If you have something like lettuce and try to grow it into the summertime or later in the spring, you could do it behind the tomatoes and actually use tomatoes as a screen. Or planning the rows where the sun's going to go down the row. So if you've got, if you've got a lot of tall stuff and you don't want, and you don't want them to layer the garden down towards the sun, then you can plant them, plant the rows the other direction and have the sun sung actually make it down the row.But that's a little more difficult and requires a little more space. Usually Joe Woolworth: [00:07:15] in North Carolina, Cary, specifically, which is where we are in the garden supply company, is very proud of our giant trees. Is there a better, is it good to have your square foot garden in direct sunlight or. It was a bunch of tall trees.Does that make a big difference? It Keith Ramsey: [00:07:29] really doesn't. And there's the I've got a large garden that I garden and w it gets great morning sun, and then by amount, noon, or one o'clock, it starts to get into a little more shade, but it gets filtered sun in the afternoon, and everything does well.So I would say you need four or five hours of strong sun in strong sun, I would say is, attend to. 10 to six thing, 10 to seven. If you get four or five hours in that timeframe, you're in pretty good shape.  You can grow veggies just about anywhere.They're just going to be a little thinner and maybe not quite as healthy and full.Now's a good time to get started in all with all the warm season stuff. Tomatoes, April 15th, is the last freeze date. I usually start a little bit ahead of that. I'm a little late this year. Growing tomatoes, peppers, beans, most of all that warm-season stuff is now's a great time to start.I always use April 15th as a target and then For the coolest, amazing stuff. You can plant them twice a year. I usually use August 15th and February 15th. Do you recommend Joe Woolworth: [00:08:33] people start with seeds, or should they start with plants that have been grown in a nursery? Yeah. Keith Ramsey: [00:08:37] So big seeds you are usually really easy to use.And when I say big seed stuff like beans, cucumbers, squash Watermelon.  That kind of seed, I usually soak in water, so it takes up a lot of water. I'll soak it in water for less than 12 to 20 hours, something like that. Please put it in the ground and then water it in.I always try to talk customers into cucumber seeds over cucumber plants, but we sell cucumber plants, and people will want the plants. They don't understand starting a seed, but it's really easy. It's a soak the seed. Push it into the ground, and then it comes up and comes up at the right rate.You're not dealing with a soft STEM. So it works out really well. And we've got seeds and plants, any guard, any local garden center. You'd go too. I would have a good variety of plants and see what plants are better to start. Peppers are painfully slow. And it's not worth growing them from seed for, to me.Tomato plants are not as hard, but. You can buy a tomato plant very inexpensively. And, with tomatoes, I always recommend that people tear off the side leaves on the side of the tomato and then bury it deep and the tomato and broccoli cabbage, some of the cool season stuff, or some of the only things that actually will route up all the way up to the STEM.So you'll end up with a root mass that's twice or two or three times the size of you, then if you plan it for a little hype, and then the plant takes off, and it's twice as strong, but tomatoes, peppers, most of the smaller seeds, lettuce as a soup. It's a super small seed, but it's a super easy thing to grow from seed.It's just getting the, getting a really nice seedbed going and then seeding it directly into the garden. 

Perlite is the devil and vermiculite is AMAZING.

“The Impact of pH and Ion Exchange on 133Cs Adsorption on Vermiculite” with Dr. Dan Ferreira. On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami led to the explosion of three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The explosions resulted in radioactive particles being released into the air, which eventually settled on neighboring soils. Dr. Ferreira has been working for half a decade to study these soils, including the bonds forged between these materials, the strength of those bonds, and, most importantly how to break them. Tune in to learn: What happened during the disaster What it takes to work with radioactive soils Why radioactive cesium can be such a problem What progress has been made towards remediating these soils If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2018.01.0043 It will be freely available from 5 March to 19 March, 2021.

Pearlite is a naturally expanded volcanic gas, Vermiculite is a mineral compound that can be heated to expand (incidentally the name comes from the heated products tendency to expand into worm like strands.)Also to clarify, when I said “There aren’t many genetically modified organisms in food production right now.” I meant to say varieties, significant portions of our sugar beet and field corn populations are GMO, as is most alfalfa grown as a feed. But those are only a very small handful of varieities that aren’t trivial for you to get.

Today I discuss how my seller dealt with vermiculite insulation in his attic. Find out how we handled it, which resulted in a successful sale.

Today the gang discusses asbestos. While home inspection standards of practice don't require home inspectors to report on environmental hazards such as asbestos, most home inspectors will still point this stuff out if they believe that it presents a problem. The most common locations for hazardous asbestos are discussed, along with what can be done when asbestos is found.
