In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Jeff Lowenfels. Jeff is the author of the award-winning "Teaming With" series of books - Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, Teaming with Fungi, and the brand new Teaming with Bacteria. In this episode he talks about soil science, the soil food web, plant microbe interactions, and several other things that relate to organic gardening. What type of plants do you like to grow? House plants, citrus trees, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, basil, kale, bok choy, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button :)

38:05 While Ingham does often follow and illustrate the importance of goldilocks rules, she has actually said some of her best plants she ever grew was in 100% organic matter. Caveat of course being in Elaine's case we can be completely certain it's perfectly balanced lol Not saying Jeff's wrong, especially since I happen to think it was smart to caution us as a whole, but it's perfectly fine to have loads of organic matter :::when properly maintained::: Specifically Dr. Ingham has also said on record (public YT video): "10,20,30% Organic matter? Great, keeeeeep going" haha 🤣

Hypothetically, let's say i have built "awesome" soil full of useful bacteria, mycorrhiza and what not in my smart pot, can I overwinter it and use it for next season for outdoor ?

@danilkopaskudnik3002 Жыл бұрын

@slackjaw What I understand, some soil expert chick from BC says, that you have to do that as carefully as possible, just rip out the old plant and plant a new one in the place of the old, once you break the mycorrhiza net it's over and you have to start from scratch to build a new one ... right ?

@danilkopaskudnik3002 Жыл бұрын

@slackjaw Thank you, the lady expert was talking about garden soil in general so I was wondering if the same apply for let's say ten gallon smart pot, and I probably mixed up mycelium net with mycorrhiza.. anyways .. thanks ..

Before i even finish watching. This is to me by far the most interesting and upcoming part of our craft to date. It is incredible how these bio-interactions take place and how they drastically affect our plants. Its interesting enough to me to want to get out a microscope. I have experimented on my own and accidentally found after watering with certain microbial/fungal tea..... the dank terpy smell from my 4 inch tall plant at 2 weeks in veg was as overpowering as a fully mature plant in full bloom. It literally blew me away. Im working on isolating what causes this effect as it is obviously highly desirable. Keep up the amazing content! Now i have more books to order !

@@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt It’s sad that he decided to take a road like he did just for clicks and comments. His content was erratic and incoherent most times. His behavior was uncalled for. Especially in all things the cannabis community. That’s one angry person and I feel sorry for the people in his life who live around him. And of course he deleted the comments, it’s what trolls do.
