Summary
First time guest and creator of the brand new Soil Microscopy Course Matt Powers is on the program! Matt joins us for an episode all about soil biology, and how we think about the soil food web. Matt talks about some of the biggest misconceptions that students of the soil make, highlighting how often times when observing and testing soil for analytics, we take approaches that can lead to inaccurate and skewed data sets. This leads to a conversation about home growers, and Matt points out some of the common mistakes he sees when thinking about the function of soil microbes in our garden. Matt discusses how every student of the soil is always learning and growing, and he gives us some good tips to get started on our own journey of soil discovery, including microscope recommendations and more. Matt wraps the show by talking about IMO, and how we need to study the microbes that evolved alongside feral cannabis found outside in the wild!
