How to Do It Series 2 - Episode 1 - The Perfect Potting Mix

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to a new season of the How To Do It video series. We have now completed the videos produced for Series 1, so we spent a productive weekend at Nutrition Farms in Applethorpe to film 16 videos for Series 2.

You are in for a treat with some of these, as I will be sharing some really important new strategies that can build your high-production fertility and increase your profit.

The first video in Series 2 showcases how to produce your own high-performance potting mix. I have a commercial greenhouse on my home farm, and I’ve perfected a really productive potting mix recipe that I will share.

It includes obvious components like coco peat, compost, and a mineral fertiliser blend, but there are other interesting additives like basalt crusher dust and clay-based soft rock phosphate. This nutrient-rich clay additive is of particular importance if you intend to innoculate plants with mycorrhizal fungi. These creatures require clay chemistry to survive and thrive in a potting mix.

This potting mix recipe can also be used in plastic grow bags to plant sorghum-sudan, the most effective host plant to grow mycorrhizal fungi

An upcoming video will describe how to grow your own mycorrhizal fungi on the farm, and this represents an exciting new DIY strategy.

I hope you enjoy the new series. It contains a host of cutting-edge tips and strategies, and we had a lot of fun making it.

Warm regards,

Graeme Sait
