BYO wheelbarrow to load up on Solomon's wisdom, cos today we're chatting with the grandaddy of beyond-organic gardening himself, Steve Solomon! If you don't know Steve, he's a bit of cult hero in food growing circles thanks to his deep research into soil remineralisation and why it is absolutely critical for human health.

In this convo:

How pre-industrial communities ate 4 x more nutrient-dense food

Why MINERALS are the key to healthy soil and healthy humans

Better nutrition… lower libido?

Why compost is really bloody complicated

…and how compost can ruin your soil if you're not careful

How to calculate how much organic matter your soil actually needs

The ugly truth about commercial compost

Why Steve doesn't recommend soil testing for everyone
