You're probably paying for organic soil additives that do nothing.
00:05
Rock dusts and mineral powders.
00:08
Heavily marketed remineralizers often duplicate existing minerals,
00:12
release nutrients slowly, and rarely outperform compost.
00:16
Always start with soil testing.
00:18
Mycorrhizal inoculants.
00:21
Most soils already host mycorrhizae.
00:23
Added inoculants seldom compete.
00:26
Prioritize minimal disturbance, fewer chemicals, and compost to sustain fungi.
00:31
Humic acids and soil conditioners.
00:34
Marketed as miracle conditioners, humic acids show inconsistent benefits.
00:40
Natural humics arise from organic matter.
00:42
Choose compost, mulches, cover crops.
00:46
Worm castings and supercharged vermicompost.
00:49
Worm castings contain nutrients and microbes, but small amounts do little.
00:54
Use larger volumes and integrate with compost.
00:58
Compost teas and micro boosters.
01:01
Compost teas show mixed results and risks if brewed poorly.
01:05
Direct compost outperforms.
01:07
Bottled microbes fade and feed existing soil life.
01:11
Coconut quire and peat-free soil savers.
01:15
Quire improves water retention and aeration, but lacks nutrients.
01:19
Peat-free enhancers are inert.
01:20
Pair quire with compost, especially for containers.
01:25
The better way to build healthy soil.
01:28
Build soil with compost, mulches, cover crops, and minimal disturbance.
01:33
Test soils first.
01:35
Evidence-based choices save money and nurture ecosystems.
