Ricky from Riverview Living Soil has returned to the program for a stellar episode about optimizing your grow through improved nutrient uptake! Ricky gives us an update on his new product line and his foray into worm farming, which leads to a conversation on the benefits of quality castings. Castings aside, live worms themselves do incredible things in the soil to optimize nutrient uptake for plants. Not only do they increase the bio-availability of all types of nutrition, but they also help carry minerals from one area of the soil- where the mineral may be rich- to another part of the soil- where the mineral may be lacking. Ricky describes the three main ways that plants uptake nutrients, and extrapolates on how things like saponins- as well as worms- help increase the efficiency of all three types of nutrient uptake.
