Greetings podcast listeners from around the world. Jordan River here back with more grow cast, perfect air to water ratio. Today we've got Michael box. He's back on the line. You know him. You love him. He's from sustainable village, and you know it. Code grow cast is active again for 10% off at sustainable village.com that gets you 10% off all your blue matte products. Now this is the automated watering system that people love, and they don't really do discount codes. So Michael box, he comes on the show, he gives us a 10% off code for a month or so. This code runs through March, and it's one of the only codes out there. So it's a great time to buy a system. If you want to set it up in your home garden, in your outdoor garden, whatever you need, they'll take care of you. So Michael box is back on the show today to do some more education as well. This is one of our best episodes. You can go check out all the older episodes. They're all fantastic. But in this one, we start from the beginning and talk about the history of irrigation technology, and then we move it all the way up into modern products, and the research that they're currently immersed in, just really getting into different mediums, how they hold water, how water moves through your soil, and the rate at which plants drink water and eventually wilt, and all the steps in between. You know, Michael really, really likes to dig into that stuff. And today is a very enlightening episode. I know you're gonna enjoy it. But before we jump into it, quick shout out to AC infinity.
