runoff? this is pure sand. you can use may sand. mix that into the soil there. and mix it all in. and what you want to dont to mix that in before you do your planting. so you mix in the sand. sand is an inorganic component that will not go away. and then what you want to do is take a little bit of this compost, mix that in. >> it lost that. >> i'm going to mix some into here. >> now, does the sand need to go? this is what you should put in. >> add some sand especially we have heavy clay soil and it can benefit. the sand will lighten up the soil and you want to use maybe about a 50-pound bag of sand for about a 20-foot border if you are going to be putting in a new border and just mix that in. mix in the compost. and then you can go ahead and plant your plants. now... if you have existing plants, any of these items can actually be added in. >> okay. >> what about liquid stuff? we have a liquid calcium that's wonderful and also a fish emulsion that's going to go long, long way to boosting the plant health. >> reporter: great advice. i had no idea about any of this. >> now is the tip to get your hydrangeas

do with that decision. nothing but a guess. >> i was wondering, you have likened the obvious differences and similarities between this election and the last. bush, having beaten the came in the original runoff, mccain comes back to run again, loses, mitt romney -- the entire continuum is losing back-and- forth do you fear the same thing is happening again? the fact that this will be a re- election in the middle of a termed president, does that affect the candidates coming forward? is it a horse in mid race wanted to change, not ready to jump in front of the camera just yet? >> ghraib question. -- great question. there is an element of that in chris christie or something like that, not ready to be in front of the camera, but there is a bigger issue. the bigger issue is you get to do this once. you do not normally get the nomination year after year. you get one time. which time is it going to be? i have been through this with several candidates. it is a tough issue. when jon huntsman's people called me first, i had met him once. i thought he was a really great guy, i don't him for environmental defense fund at. we called and asked if he would be interested in joining a small group that is try
