Questions & Answers about baiyoudo, fuyoudo, akadamatsuchi o mazete, hiryou o ireru.

How do you read the words in this sentence?

Here are the readings:

• 培養土 = ばいようど
• 腐葉土 = ふようど
• 赤玉土 = あかだまつち
• 混ぜて = まぜて
• 肥料 = ひりょう
• 入れる = いれる

A useful note: 土 is often read ど in compounds, as in 培養土 and 腐葉土, but in 赤玉土 it is read つち.

Why is there only one を after three different nouns?

Because the three nouns are being treated as one list:

• 培養土、腐葉土、赤玉土を混ぜて

This means mix potting soil, leaf mold, and akadama soil. In Japanese, when several nouns are listed together, it is very common to put the particle only once after the whole list.

So this structure is like:

• A、B、C を + verb

rather than repeating:

• Aを、Bを、Cを

Both can exist in some contexts, but using one を for the whole list is very natural here.
