Summary
Expert microbe driven cultivator Joshua Steensland joins the podcast for a show all about compost teas, extracts, microbiology, and more. Joshua talks about how he applies his compost to his garden, and discusses the difference between a compost tea, and a compost extract. Joshua emphasizes why a compost extract may be a better choice, and how extract can better penetrate into the deeper parts of the root zone that it's applied to. Steensland goes on to share some of the incredible work he's doing with organic CBG flower cultivation in Ohio, what it takes to get in to legal markets on the ground floor, and the future of low THC craft cannabis.
