Good friend of the show and creator of Bokashi Earthworks Brandon Rust is back! Today he joins the program to discuss dealing with extreme heat, nutrient exchange, and more. Brandon expounds on the important role of silica when dealing with extreme heat, and also emphasizes that having adequate silica available helps deal with both extremely hot AND extremely cold temperatures. This leads to a conversation about bottled silica products, and how depending on the form of the silica provided, you should be adding these products at different stages of growth. Brandon also talks about silicic acid and how the more processed a form of silica, generally the more expensive it becomes. Brandon wraps the show by talking about his Calsil+ and how silica plays with other minerals in a solution. NEW ROOTED LEAF LUSH GREEN!
