Episode notes
Sam Baker from Wrigglebrew and I talk about soil health, and what does nitrogen poisoning look like?
- My leaves turned brown, despite enough watering. Maybe I gave them too much nitrogen?
- Overuse of phosphorus causes plants to not be able to uptake zinc, magnesium, calcium. That's another reason why our food is mineral deficient.
- Wrigglebrew is even used by soy farmers to reduce their nitrogen load and move a little more toward regenerative farming methods.
- Compost tea only has a shelf life of 24-48 hours. How does Wrigglebrew maintain the flora and be shelf stable?
- Sam also shares about Wrigglebrew's research - a scientific gov't grant to use worms to digest plastic.
