Potting soil, comparing by cost

The video is titled "$ vs $$ vs $$$"

The whole thing can be told in fifteen seconds.

The cheap potting mix becomes too compacted. It's too heavy.

The middle one is okay but it comes with fertilizer in it.

The expensive one is composed of good quality compost and with no fertilizer added and it performs the best by a very broad margin.

Conclusion: the expensive potting mixture is best.

But it takes the guy fifteen minutes to say that. Because he dilly-dallies around every little aspect of each soil including every little thought that flies through the space in his skull.

The awful truth about us gardener types is we babble. Apparently our video watchers don't mind this about us.

First, I drew you a picture that shows how we talk.

Second the video on potting soil comparison. You can skip, skip, skip skippity doo dah all the way through to the end where he picks up the black colored pot with most expensive soil and see the comparison of plant growth for all three, and not miss much that might be worthwhile.

Third, a link to another video that's even worse.



I like this guy a lot. But he babbles. He simply cannot get straight to the point without including his half million little insights attained along the way. 

And I must hasten to add, he has a very good seed store. Very much along the lines of Rareseeds.com. He has a lot of the same seeds for significantly less cost. 


Here's another very likable fellow but a serious babbler. His video is about compost but he finds it quite impossible to get to the point. And I find it impossible to listen. I gave up. I was sitting here waiting and waiting and waiting and finally I realized that I just flat don't give a shit about his f'k'n compost.
