What's up everyone? Welcome back to the epic gardening podcast. Again, we're here with

Stephen Cornette and we're talking about grow bags. So growing in these

movable, portable, usually felt, I think, based grow bags, something that I'm definitely

leaning really heavily on as I try to prepare enough food to survive hopefully a whole month

in the month of June for my

Apocalypse Grow challenge which I've definitely talked a little bit about here on the

podcast and if you follow me on Instagram you'll be seeing me posting and sharing

about that as well. Stephen's doing it a little bit differently,

but we both have our own tried and true techniques

for growing in grow bags.

So first, let's hear from Stephen as to exactly

how he's approaching them. So with my grow bags, they're going to be used for production, for growing veggies for sale,

as well as growing nursery plants that I can sell to my customers so they can have their own little mini garden at home

And so the way I set up my grow bags the what soil did I use well I brought in

About 14 cubic yards for my farm, about six cubic yards of that was for my

grow bags and the blend that I did was a compost mixed with 20% per light and then I plan on amending other minerals and

depending on what plants that I'm going to be growing. Now this compost that I

bought is from the best soilmaker here in San Diego.

It's from a blend of a rabbit and chicken manure mixed with some other things as well.

He even adds minerals and inoculates with beneficial biology.

And so for my leafy greens, my herbs,

basil, the culinary herbs, I'm not really envisioning
