I used soil moist in cooling bandanas for the summer works great in New Mexico and Arizona too.

Like the mix. I will probably use my own compost. Have had great luck with it. Thanks for the video

The moisture control is it similar to Crystal cat litter.

Interesting video. I just went to Amazon to see if I could see what the ingredients were. I'd have to do more research about polyacrylamide before I get this. But thanks for explaining what the "mystery" ingredient is in the moisture control Miracle Gro. I wouldn't have known that was in there.

Interesting mixture! Sounds like you could mix the 3 basic ingredients perlite, peat and black kow and then add the other items (d.e., moisture control, bone meal, osmocote) based on the plants needs.
I live in a normally high rainfall area in zone 9a but this year we've experienced extreme ongoing high temps and drought so the moisture control may or may not work for every plant.
I have a couple of tropicals in large containers that need watering 2x/day. The moisture granules would seem a plus. However, geraniums would rot with something that might retain moisture.
What are your thoughts on these 2 scenarios?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I can not find Black kow in Canada .What analog would you recommend? Thank you.

Would this mix retain too much moisture for rosemary/thyme, etc., plants that are prone to root rot?

How much of the diatomaceous earth should I use?

[Agrillot]

Can we use vermiculite rather than the crystals?

[patriciakane]

2 gallons of what?? And what brand? Am 86 and in a wheelchair and can’t shop various stores. What store do you buy it at.

I'm not sure that those crystals are organic. Not sure I would use it.
