Episode 17: Understanding Soil Testing with Agronomist Kris Borgman

William Evans has been working in the horticulture and nursery industry for over 20 years and brings a wealth of experience to the table. Today’s podcast is all about containers. While I’ve always been a proponent of planting directly into the ground when possible, this is not an option in many situations and propagation is best done in small trays or containers. William shares with us how containers can dramatically reduce transplant shock, improve worker efficiency, increase plant health, and a myriad of other benefits. We also talk about how the wrong container can cause major issues resulting in poor growth, root girdling, and even the potential for your container being a source of contamination. We also discuss and exciting organic solution for slugs in your garden.  https://www.kisorganics.com/pages/cannabis-cultivation-and-science-podcast-episode-18
