Welcome to the Cannabis Civation and Science Podcast.

I'm your host, Tav Hussey of Kiss Organics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of organic growing from a science-based perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

Our guest today is Jeff Lowenfell's.

In honor of our 50th episode, I wanted to get Jeff, our very first podcast guest and old friend, back on the show.

Jeff is the author of the popular teeming series, teaming with microbes, teaming with nutrients, and teaming with fungi.

Jeff is an extremely respected and popular national garden writer. He is the former president of the garden writers of

America. Jeff has been a good friend now for over a decade and is a wonderful advocate for

organic gardening, compost teas, and the microbes in our soil. Thanks, Jeff. Great to have you

back on the show. You know, you're an old friend, and it's wonderful to chat with you again.

Well, let's just start right away.

You know, we talked about a few different topics off air, but one of the things you

want to talk about was rhizophagy, which is something pretty interesting that I'm not that informed on, so why don't we

just start right there?

Yeah, we should.

It's a fascinating subject, rhizofaggy, R-H-I-Z-O-P-H-A-G-E-Y, I think it is, or maybe

just G-Y.

It's something that I stumbled upon, oh, gosh, probably about 10 years ago, a friend of

mine in New York sent me a article about tundra plants that are capable of actually

ingesting organic molecules.
