Join us for an introduction to the work of a true pioneer in the compost tea and extract space, someone who's been adding biology to soil and then testing to verify the benefits since the 90s, someone who learned from Dr. Elaine Ingham at that time and has been adapting and innovating since then. This is a very special conversation with the one and only: Todd Harrington.
