Jason thank you for sharing this most informative lesson on soils. I believe you talked about using this mixture in container rose. You make all your videos sound easy. I sure hope I can do it. Thank you again.

I use a lot of peat moss in my garden beds. I have a huge plastic half-barrel I dump the dry bag into, then water it and let it soak overnight before I try to mix it with anything. It makes it heavy, but at least usable.

I make my soil for cacti. Pumice is my main ingredient. I use other rocks as well but I always use pumice with or without other rocks. Cacti need well draining, fast drying soil. That’s extremely important for your cactus plants health. It’s expensive tho.

The place to go is direct to a sawmill. I get 100yards of mulched bark hardwood for free. I just pay the trucking costs Typically comes in at around 3$/yard. I live 2 miles from the mill

Thanks for the information in this video. What are your thoughts of coconut fiber compared to peat moss? Peat moss isn't really renewable, but I've heard coconut fiber can add too many salts. Thanks in advance.

Hi Lance. Thanks - and that about sums up my knowledge on coconut fiber - there are concerns about the salt levels, and you have to use a reputable supplier to make sure the salt levels are acceptable.

I watched a few of your vids, and was very impressed. I have roughly 15 kilos of mushroom mulch, 25 of cottage mulch, 30 of potting mix, a small bag of garden lime, a small bag of blood and bone, and maybe 5 kgs of perlite. A) what should i mix with the perlite to grow rose cuttings, and what mix ratio? B) of all those products i listed, should any be kept away from roses? Ive only been gardening in the past few years since I smashed up both legs in separate incidents and cant pave or lay retaining walls, so any advice you can give is greatly appreciated. Im an aussie, so all our measurements are the same too, conveniently. Cheers mate.

Thanks so much. The names of mixes vary from place to place, but I take it that the cottage mulch is a chipped wood/composted bark product with some fines? If so, you could mix it with say 25% perlite for better drainage for the rose cuttings. The mushroom mulch is usually too high in salts for cuttings, but could be used for landscape roses - as could the lime if pH is low, and the blood & bone is fine for roses if used at recommended rates. Hope that helps!

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm sorry mate, one more question. As a newby, I think I watered my other roses too much. One's in the ground, the others in a pot. I like watering stuff everyday, but I know thats probably too much. Should i soak my 25% perlite mixture before I put a cutting in, then just spray it with a sprayer instead of watering it as such. Maybe if you're looking for an idea for a future vid, you could do a start to finish, basic growing roses for dummies, showing how you mix up your mix for rose cuttings, cut them, root them, then plant them in a pot or ground, showing a little pruning, or whatever maintenance there is, along with watering and fertilizer /nutrient advice. You'd be able to pull it off pretty well, and it would be invaluable to amateurs like myself. Once again, cheers for all your help Jason.

@@whosyourdaddy842 Thanks for the ideas. The mix for cutting should be just damp - not soaking wet. It should be only moist enough to keep the cuttings from drying out, and after that, just rely on mist.

Hi Jason. Thanks so much for your backyard nursery series. I watch your vids daily as I hope to open a perennial plant stall in London. I hope you can answer a couple of questions: For a potting mix for growing on plug plants, you have quoted a standard mix of peat or coir at 25%, perlite at 25% and composted bark at 50%. Does this mix need fertiliser balls or liquid feed added (if it’s coir not peat wouldn’t the nutrient levels be negligible)? What role does home grown compost play in a mix - does it replace the peat as it’s high in nutrients? Thanks again for your insights and best wishes from the UK.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm
2 жыл бұрын
You'll definitely have to custom your mix based on what's available locally. I hear they pretty much done with peat in the UK, so I guess coir would be the thing. I sometimes add some controlled release prills to the mix, but if you don't, you can compensate with topdress or liquid fertilizer. I'm not sure how home compost would change the outcome - I suppose with higher organic matter, you might see better nutrient retention.
@donzilia

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Many thanks for the reply. There’s still plenty of peat-based compost in the UK, but it is inexorably on the way out. You must generate a fair bit of compost on the farm, and I’m guessing you use it to top dress your borders rather than incorporating into a mix.

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm So if you use the composted bark mulch for propogation/growing, what do you mix in? Right now, I have a lot of lilies that need to come out of the ground they are in-they are doing nothing and plant sizes are poor. (I would kick them to the curb, but they have sentimental value.) I want to get them in better soil while I decide where to put them. Any help is appreciated! Love your channel!! Thank you!

If it's pretty well composted, it would probably work as a fine component in a potting mix. I'd probably blend with something like perlite for drainage and air porosity.

It may depend on the form - chunky coir has pretty decent drainage, while the short fiber material retains moisture.

There are two specialty potting mix suppliers in the local area, and then a few others who do composted bark mulch and wood mulch products - what kinds of local products you can buy, and who is selling them is going to vary a lot by your region. If you're local (Fraser Valley), I used Sumas Gro Media. West Creek Farms is good too. A long time ago I used The Answer (also local) and it was fine, though I may have bought the wrong mix.

Sorry, missed some of your question. I don't use soil blockers - I just find plug trays much easier to use. I would think a fine peat-based mix like the Sunshine mix bale I featured would work fine. Search terms: landscape mulch, composted bark mulch, growing media, potting mix, bulk potting soil - and if you're a but stumped, see if you can find a local nursery who will tell you what they're using. We're a pretty helpful bunch, really!

A suggestion on a very helpful video...or three Rose diseases upclose...diagnosis sort of not cure...my daughter moved into a house and it had wonderful roses and one climber just LITERALLY turned brown...UP QND DOWN...DUSTY LIGHT BROWN NOT A MOLD BUT LIGHT BROWN... and IT died ALMOST over night. ...she was gone for a week so it may of died over a week long time...but Still FAST...I HAVE NEVER SEEN NOR HEARD OF SUCH A THING. IT WAS AN OLDER ROSE..NOT IN as mUCH SUN AS IT SHOULD BE...but it had been there sbout 7 years... Luckily it isnt NEAR THE OTHER ROSES...if it is a.virus...not bugs...no chewing ect. in another video u said something about u had a virus and were.getting rid of a rose.....what do they look like...ive seen black spot..and basically just cleaned up the rose andneaited fornrains to stop ...ive seen aphids and thrips...but other than those i wouldnt know .. Idea number 2...Also id like to.see your rose arbor...tying roses to it over thr season. Idea three...dang...i forgot....oh well Oh I remembered...i love cut flowers...how can i get longer stems on my roses for vases. Is it how u prune them ? Type of rose?
