hi again hi again what is this big tub so we went to the hardware store and got ourselves
the biggest tub we could possibly the biggest one 70 gallons with the top
i have decided to as a lot of you have suggested and i'm very excited about
to re-amend my soil so i'm actually going to be taking my soil and reusing it and amending it and
trying my hand at um basically having a living soil tub yeah a lot of you guys
have suggested that we should be reusing our soil and we completely agree so
we're gonna be taking all the old stuff that we get from uh plants that finish out and we're gonna
put them in here we're gonna re-amend it uh we're gonna get it wet and just let it you know let it
just hang out and um build try and build a good micro base exactly be able to reuse our soil save
some money um so we're pretty excited about it guys we're we're going to be emptying old pots
in here and yeah i'm actually really excited about i'm not really sure what i'm doing so if you guys
if you guys want to throw some suggestions down there for me i will totally take every single one
of them um but right now my thought process is i'm actually going to be taking all the
ones from my plants all the i've actually just emptied out a couple of them as you can see here
um pots so i actually have a couple more out there that i'm going to be emptying in here
and then i have um a couple bags of stuff i just want to get rid of like i just i don't want this
just sitting around in here anymore um i don't really want to have large bags of anything anymore
yeah i'm just kind of over it so i'm going to just take everything that i actually have and i
don't really have much but i do have some worm castings some some pro mix and a little bit of
this um happy frog soil conditioner so i'm just gonna toss all that in there too and just kind
of let it all marinate for a couple of weeks until i'm ready to uh so whatever whenever we're potting
up the next stuff you know because we find the pro mix to be pretty dry so we also hope this
will help just kind of get it going yeah mixing in old stuff we don't really have to add more perlite
because there's already been some in there so you know definitely if you guys have any my gosh that
would happen if you guys have any tips on reusing soil oh yeah rib at least it's right by the brow
um i do have some things to amend this with but i'd rather have your guys's suggestions on how to
get a good starting mix for a seedling that's not going to be too hot but then also be able to amend
as i go down now keep in mind i still have nature's living soil i have the flower girl
top dressing for that and then they also have like things like this the rose flower
rose and flower down to earth i've always been a big fan of this we've had great results and then
i also have um some happy frog um if you guys want to throw some suggestions down on how you know how
you guys amend yours yeah it'd be great yeah i would really really love your suggestions so
that's kind of the rundown of what i'm gonna do so um i'm just gonna kind of go to town get
cracking yeah so um i did like i said already emptied these babies out i'm just gonna take
all this and just get rid of it you know get it in there yeah it's gonna be the super bin
i'm so excited about this because you don't understand i'm always
so loaded with all these pots that i don't know what to do with and get rid of and i'm just like
first of all i live in town so it's it's very hard for me to just get rid of pots of
so this is so exciting to me because i have somewhere to put it now
will be used everything up yes and uh save some money reuse it
i need a shirt that says i love dirt
sorry
this thing's way bigger and than i actually thought it was but i'm kind of loving it because
i could probably put so much in here and let it marinate please let me know if like not having
um i don't know i tried to take a lot of the roots out from from the plants so i don't know if it's a
good thing or a bad thing to have them in there yeah i don't think it hurts taking them out um
is it better to keep them try to take them out
um you guys please anything i need anything i don't know what i'm doing
call the pro mix this might get a little dusty so
i don't know we find the pro mix to be pretty dry so yeah i think mixing this up beforehand
is definitely gonna help condition it to be ready a little bit more plus with the nature's living
get some microbes in there let it get damp it'll be it'll be a nice mix i think oh my gosh it's
gonna be so great should i get like some gardening tools for this thing to like they need to trowel
um yeah i'm wondering what kind of amendments are going to be best for this so i'm worried about
overdoing it or under doing it i was just gonna say i think it's better to uh go light with this
than go too hard because if you make it too hot um you know and you already got stuff potted you
can always add stuff well i mean keep in mind i just put a bunch of that soil conditioner in here
so i think this will be probably great starting bed you probably won't have to have that much
i do have some pots um behind you behind that door this actually feels very nice
you could just jump in there babe take a dirt bath don't touch me
i love it you would easily fit in this tub however i love getting dirty i might just be you know what
it just might be like the country tomboy in me but i love dirt i always have good enough
my mom told me that when i was like little little she caught me eating her that's how much i love it
asmr just give it to me mic up this dirt mixing this feels
nice okay so i'm gonna go grab the ones from behind you and then um
we'll just try to mix it all together making our mix and oh he's trying to get sneaky up in here
don't mind me so there's a few a few to add here are those things just super dry yeah very
oh but it actually breaks up pretty easy we think just probably pull the root balls out
maybe i should be wearing a mask yeah we probably should be masked up here
pause it's just because these ones are so dry uh because they've been sitting they've been saying
they're they're like extra dusty so we knocking the dust off over here
yeah i might have to go actually get some water
is there anything left in here this stuff might even be with the old perlite too that was extra
dusty always um compared to yeah get some moisture on there so first go guys but we definitely want
to get it moist again and we want to get it all mixed incorporated well and then just
literally leave it with the top on it until we're ready for it so we can just
this one's probably pretty nice yeah that one's pretty fresh
oh yeah that one's a little moisture that was a freshie
she's really nice i think that pop basically drowned that plant i think it did too he's got
some some kind of weird gardening pot that we never tried before put a plant in it it did not
make it it didn't go over well um but you know got to grow to know oh kitty kitty is an infiltrator
we definitely uh gonna be reusing here look at this tub we got we're gonna have soil for the next
bajillion rounds babe careful you got your mask on no we messed up use this
for all the future runs just kind of breaking up throwing the root ball out
i love this this is like my favorite thing to do
it loves getting dirty i really do i've never minded getting dirty that's one thing that's
for sure she's like wet and dusty and like all sorts of things right now right so so i guess
the idea is to just like let it marinate and like just you know get all its juices together
yeah try and build the microbial life up and uh you know just put add some nutrients to it maybe
some compost wouldn't hurt yeah um i really just want to build up the microbial life like you said
and and like kind of feed it every now and again so definitely guys if you guys have good tips on
doing doing something like this reusing your soil um what you guys do in like a tub situation like
this we'd love to hear it comment below let us know this is our first go so we're just kind of
going with the flow oh my god this was a perfect size i think babe right this time the 70 gallon
home depot it was honestly it was the last one there was a top yeah we couldn't find
any tops and then we found one in like the very back of the store we searched
one single thought it was just literally but it worked look it looks like it looks like a beard
my root beard it's my root beard do you know how moss feels and you know how much i love the
amelie moss somebody's a moss fan you guys don't even know i love i love taking my feet like oh
we getting close we got to moisten it up yeah so now that i have all of my pots in here
um i had to change my mask by the way the other one cut falling off so um
so i got all of my old pots in here and i'm kind of just like breaking down all
these like little pieces but um now i'm gonna actually try to moisten it up a little bit
now i don't know if i should add any amendments or what i should do i kind of like was waiting for
some suggestions but keep in mind i am probably going to be um using this fairly soon yeah so
yeah for some new babies a couple weeks yeah it's perfect i think honestly just leave it where it is
right now just get it like moist and uh let it let it kind of sit for a couple weeks see how it feels
yeah so every now and again once i pull a plant out it's gonna be a really nice
uh transition it's gonna have like a nice little um life cycle and it's gonna save me a little bit
of money right yeah definitely in time and all sorts of things so this is so exciting
for me so i'm just gonna moisten this baby up and give it a couple more mixings um but yeah
beyond that we're pretty much done again if you guys want to give me any kind of tips or pointers
feel free yeah we're totally down guys you know we love the tips and uh experience from the community
here so definitely let us know what you guys do on your pre-mixed soil beds or reusing soil like what
should we what should we be adding for amendments what should we watch out for um just any tips and
tricks guys because we definitely want to get into it and save some money and be able to you know
reduce our footprint go go i do have a new soil phr too so um i will be making sure that my soil
