Welcome to the cannabis cultivation and science podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussie 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.

If you're enjoying these podcasts so far, please take a moment to subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher or whatever platform you're listening on and leave me a rating and review. This is

really helpful and allows me to keep producing good content by drawing more of the top names

in the industry to the show. Also, sign up for our newsletters on our website. I'm going to be

releasing a compost tea white paper and a bunch of new content here in the next few weeks, and it's

the best way to find out right away when new episodes come out.

This is part three in our series with Jim Bennett, also known as Clackamas Coot on such

forums as I-C-Megg and Lumber Dogs on Grass City.

He's an organic grower and gardener who has helped many people in improving the way they

garden and move away from bottled nutrients.

Now before we get into the interview with Coot, I wanted to take a moment to address something

I've been hearing about for the past month or so.

There are some self-proclaimed cannabis consultants out there that worked with Dr. Ingram

and have a series of biological tests where they applied a neem seed meal or neem cake tea to the

soil, and they claim it affected the bacterial

fungal racial of the soil in a negative manner, allowing an increase in disease-causing

microorganisms.

They also claim it kills beneficial fungi and nematodes while increasing ciliates.

I've heard growers are literally throwing out their soil over this, and to me that is

just crazy and I wanted to address it.
