Jeff explains the soil food web principles that make soil a living ecosystem, where microbes cycle nutrients and boost plant health naturally.

Learn how a living soil can lead to stronger, more resilient plants with enhanced immunity and flavor compared to chemical-fed grows. Jeff also shares practical tips for new organic gardeners (and experienced growers alike), including the importance of organic matter (even old roots) in your soil and not over-complicating the process. Whether you're growing cannabis or organic veggies, these insights will help you cultivate healthier, more vigorous plants naturally.
