Re: I am now using the Organic Soil to grow my sunnies

[Guest guest]

Seems like I read somewhere once that to treat soil that you are going to use in

the house, that you can put it in the oven for a certain length of time and bake

it and it will kill any bugs and the soil will be clean and you can plant in

it.  Anyone else heard this?  I'd think that if you didn't have organic soil

that you might want to bake the soil first.  But if Home Depot has coir, why

not continue that?

As I explained in the video, I ran out of Coir. So I had no choice because I was

sprouting sunnies in a mason jar and I have no idea how long they can stay in a

mason jar before they are planted in a medium.

And you'll all laugh at how I came to use the organic soil. I went to my local

florist and I said " I have to ask you a question " . I have Organic Soil but I've

never used soil because I'm afraid something will come crawling out or come

flying out and I've been using Coir "

" So will there be any bugs? " Well, there were two guys sitting at the table in

the florist's store and one of the guys said " Oh, organic soil is treated " . I

said: " What do you mean organic soil is treated, IT'S ORGANIC!!! "

He said: " That means it's treated " I said 'if it's organic how the heck can it

be treated with ANYTHING?? " He said " Oh they use some sort of filter so you got

a good thing there " . I said " I have a good thing " ? and he says: " Yeah, no bugs "

but if you used regular potting soil, you might get some larvae or something,

but you will be good to go "

That's all I needed to hear so I went home and made this video.

And I'm checking to see if anything is crawling . ROFL.

I but some soil in my solar oven to kill off any weed seeds, spores, or

critters. With purchased soil, it has probably already been done. I hit my

raised beds with a flame thrower to kill off any seeds, but many " critters " are

beneficial, so I don't worry about them. Worms are amazing for a garden...don't

want to kill them off, but it is very unlikely anything would come in the house

in bagged soil.

Mel, I can pretty much tell you that people who work is florist shop have no

knowledge of soils. There won't be any bug in the sacks, because the organic

stuff is packed under very sanitary conditions. the only way a bug would be in

there is if it got in at you house after the bag was opened. When you first open

the bag it should be nice and moist. If the moistness can't get out, bugs can't

get in.

Right, but I thought that she was looking for some soil rather than coir and was

thinking of using regular soil.  I didn't know if potting soil works or not. 

I am really a neophyte when it comes to a garden.  I do read quite a bit though

and remember bits and pieces. Used to remember a lot more than I do anymore, but

I still hang on to bits and pieces.  I still remember the weird cases that made

me mad in law school.  Some don't seem fair or right, but that is the law.

It's not about bugs anymore. I found out that there is bone meal and other

things used in organic soil. They are allowed to use this and still call it

organic. And there has been mention of bone meal (from ground up spinal columns

in cows) and other blood products still being used in organic soil. (not regular

soil). Too bad I didn't buy regular soil.

But once I looked into the info and saw about the possibility of Creutzfelt

disease (even the possibility gives me shivers), because I lost a dear

friend to his disease, now why would I even take the chance.

So from now on, it's COIR all the way. Maybe other soil less mediums. But no

organic soil. I should have done my homework before buying that bag but hey, I

still learned something.

And I have another question for you.

You told me that you can't re-use coir. That I should throw it in the compost in

a garden or something.

I'm just curious WHY one can't reuse coir. For example, I've grown the pea

shoots (on the third cutting and the darn things are growing like crazy and they

are like eating celery in a salad. LOVE THIS.

So what would happen if, when I finished the pea shoots (or the sunnies), and I

take out the roots and whatever is left behind and I see I have coir left over.

Why can't I just re-hydrate this again and grow something else.

Why??? What would happen, or not happen?

Is the fact that I grew something once, well does that determine that you can't

grow a second thing in the Coir?

thanks much.

This has been quite the educational journey.

And I'm off to take two buses today and go to home depot.

Here is an even scarier tidbit for you, Melody. If you look at the ingredients

in your " organic " soil, it likely includes " poultry liter " , which is as far from

organic as you can get-it contains the floor sweepings from battery farmed

chickens, so would contain chicken manure, feathers, chicken parts, etc., which

contain the antibiotics, steroids and growth hormones fed to the battery farmed

chickens! All natural? YES...but so is cyanide and dog poo...!

Hi NannSea here. I use " Baby Blanket " for my Sunnies and it is fabulous. Made

by Sprout People, and not expensive.

http://sproutpeople.org/supply/mediums/babyblanket.html

Easy, easy, easy to use. Cut to the shape of your, glass pie pan, in my case.

Wet it. Pop it in the pie plate, cover with soaked seeds. Put another heavy

ceramic dish on top of the seeds. Stick it inside the cabinet to start in the

dark. Let them push up the top about one inch. Remove top and put the bottom

with seeds on a counter top. Let them finish growing.

I don't do videos (Maybe you can teach me Melody!! Yours are great!) But, I am

taking photos of my current batch and will post them if someone will show me how

or where to put them.

And, BTW, I have used sea salt for as long as I can remember. I really like it.

Natural without additives.

You can't reuse the coir or any other medium because the coir is so entwined

with roots that there is no room for new roots to grow. If you had a compost

pile, it would great in there.

I think it's the work involved getting it ready to reuse...getting roots out and

such..because it's not zapping any nutrients out that are needed for another

drop...can't imagine it's anything more than that...it's just so much easier

(not cheaper) to start with a new batch of whatever medium you choose.

As soon as my sunnies come in I am going to put them in the pie plates on coir,

which I still have to get).  Guess I could go to thrift shop and see if I can

find a baby blanket (receiving kind?).

Oh yes, anything made as a baby blanket would be treated with fire retardants

like the PJ's for kids are.    I used to get flannel and make baby blankets

at times and scarves.  I don't know if that is also treated or not.

ALL fabric will be treated with either metalic dyes, modified cornstarch, flame

retardants, and other chemicals you don't want on your food, unless it is

untreated, unbleached organic fabric, which is pricy and VERY hard to find. You

can find unbleached cotton muslin for making things such as nut milk bags or

sprouting bags, but I personally wouldn't use any other type of fabric..much of

it is also sprayed with pesticide before being imported.

and was thinking of using regular soil.  I didn't know if potting soil

works or not.  I am really a neophyte when it comes to a

garden.  I do read quite a bit though and remember bits and pieces. Used

to remember a lot more than I do anymore, but I still hang on to bits and

pieces.  I still remember the weird cases that made me mad in law

school.  Some don't seem fair or right, but that is the law.

use in the house, that you can put it in the oven for a certain length of time

and bake it and it will kill any bugs and the soil will be clean and you can

plant in it. Anyone else heard this? I'd think that if you didn't have organic

soil that you might want to bake the soil first. But if Home Depot has coir, why

not continue that?
