Ricky from Riverview Living Soil has returned to the program for a stellar episode about optimizing your grow through improved nutrient uptake! Ricky gives us an update on his new product line and his foray into worm farming, which leads to a conversation on the benefits of quality castings. Castings aside, live worms themselves do incredible things in the soil to optimize nutrient uptake for plants. Not only do they increase the bio-availability of all types of nutrition, but they also help carry minerals from one area of the soil- where the mineral may be rich- to another part of the soil- where the mineral may be lacking. Ricky describes the three main ways that plants uptake nutrients, and extrapolates  on how things like saponins- as well as worms- help increase the efficiency of all three types of nutrient uptake.

FREE bottle of micro flow for a limited time with ANY ORDER using CODE GROWCAST at www.rootedleaf.com We always talk about microbes, and how magical they are. But compared to plants microbes are like ancient cave people, rubbing sticks together and painting cave paintings for the almighty plant gods. Join Nik as we explore the complexity of Oxygen in our gardens, and the incredible electrical power that plants have to split the oxygen apart from H2O molecules. Oxygen is like the stoner friend who always shows up to the smoke circle, smokes everyone else's bud, and ruins the circle. Oxygen is constantly degrading things, "downhill," while plants have the incredible power to reverse this oxidative process that affects virtually all of the world around us. If you love advanced plant science, this episode is for you. Don't forget to aerate that feed water, growmies! Join GrowCast Membership TODAY!
