Summary
Creator of Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST) Nik is back on the line for an episode all about heavy metals! On this round of our nutrient/element deep dive, Nik discusses the less desirable elements that exist in soil. Mercury, lead, cadmium, and more- these are the elements you DON'T want your plant to uptake or interact with. First Nike explains how these elements occur in nature, and how various industrial processes also contribute to heavy metal extraction and contamination. He goes on to talk about how these elements short circuit and interfere with the plant's ability to grow and develop properly- making them a major threat to healthy plant production. Nik also talks about how to lock up these elements within soil, and how chelation through the use of compounds like humic acids can lock away these harmful substances rendering them benign.
