Later, we dive into the 'Heavy Metal' debate that stirred up the community this week. We’re joined by T-Dogg Gardens and The Jackson Fire to discuss living soil, lab testing, and how to maintain a clean garden in a world of complex inputs. It’s a session filled with deep science, legacy stories. Alohigh! We are going to Kauai on this show …..wish we were there for real but guess we will take the zoom version.
