Liner notes

This May 1, 2020 episode of The Adam Dunn Show, has on the show "Two 'Underground' Legends: Jeremy Silva & Clackamas Coot," a foundational broadcast for organic cultivation, Adam and the crew host Jeremy Silva of ⁨@BuildASoil and the legendary Clackamas Coot (Jim). The episode is a masterclass in living soil science, focusing on the power of enzymes, malted barley, and vermicompost. Coot shares his decades of research into "outlaw science," including the origin of the "Coot's Mix" and his revolutionary Malted Barley Tea (SST) method. They also dive deep into the medicinal power of mushrooms like Lion's Mane and Reishi, and Coot drops legendary history about Thai Sticks and the 1970s "outlaw" era in Southern California. The "Organic Bible" of cultivation! Legends Jeremy Silva (@Build-A-Soil) and Clackamas Coot (Jim) join the studio for a 3-hour deep dive into the microbiome of the soil. We discuss the enzymatic power of Malted Barley, the secrets of "Coot's Mix," and the science of high-quality vermicompost. Coot shares incredible stories from the 1970s outlaw era-from buying Toyota Celicas with briefcases of cash to the arrival of the first Thai Sticks in 1976. Plus, we explore the world of medicinal mushrooms, microdosing for mental health, and the future of "Myco-remediation."
