Hey guys and happy Friday. If you listen to the podcast on Tuesday, you know that we just

launched our brand new Patreon members community. And I thought it would be fun as part of a way

to introduce this to you to share with you a few clips of what you will get if you decide to

join the Patreon community. As you've heard me talk about before, you'll get bonus podcast episodes, bonus videos,

and depending on the tier that you choose, possibly live Q&As with me,

opportunities to be coached by me, and more.

But today I wanted to share with you a couple of previews of those bonus podcast episodes

and some audio from the bonus videos that are waiting for you right now inside if you join

Patreon today. First up, we've got a bonus podcast interview and this is with Joe Lample of

Joe Gardner. You heard him on the podcast

a couple of weeks ago and he and I did this bonus episode. Didn't really know where it was going

to go, but we talked about some things that were so fun and I enjoyed this conversation so much.

We talked about soil science and watering and some things that I had never

heard before. Honestly, it was really hard to decide which clip to share with you today, but

hopefully this one will be enjoyable for you.

And one of the reasons that really doesn't get discussed that much is one of the primary reasons why it's so important to have organic material constantly being added to our soil is that it is a transport system to bind nutrients in the soil.

Nutrients in the soil don't get into the roots except through a soluble form.

And they have to hitchhike onto an ion that can move with water that then makes its way into the roots.

An organic material has a negative charge typically, and a lot of the nutrients have positive charges.

And if you know anything, you know, you've seen magnets before.

Opposite poles attract, but the same poles repel.

So you need a negative and a positive to bind together.
