How's it going? Thanks for having me. I appreciate you having me back, and it's always good to be able to chop it up, talk shop and nerd out on plant science. That's

your bread and butter, man. We were just hanging out at your house, checking out your awesome garden, which is ripping, and we got into it right away. Right? You're always talking about nutrient dynamics, optimizing nutrition for cannabis. I love talking about this stuff, man. But before we get into all of that, what have you been up to? What's Bokashi earthworks been up to give us a little update? Yeah,

sure. So you know, as a small company, we've always been growing every year, and so we have done some new hiring. We got a lady in office that does all of our in house, accounting, finance, payroll, business management, frees me up to be able to focus my pursuits on the things that I'm best at, which is education and the consulting side of all this. So we've got that business is going well. We're still doing the microbes manufacturing microbes doing the you make fertilizers with NASA agricultural technologies. We're going to be releasing the Nutri pot Cup, the fully compostable first ever single replacement for single use plastics, fertilizer cup and placement for that's awesome fertilizers. I love that Nutri

pot. I remember when you came on this show, when you were developing that, and just talking about that, we met up in Chicago, Illinois, and we sat in a car, and you were talking to me about this nutripot, and here we are. This is a biodegradable, completely sustainable container made of minerals, right, or at least imbued with minerals. Let's

say, yeah. So the Smart Carbon is a stabilized and reacted humic folic acids. They act as carbon chelation elements. So you could have all of your plant mineral nutrition, even nitrogen, you know, it's complex in a carbon and so it doesn't react with other elements in soil. And since it's all been stabilized, you can, you can dry it out like I have these manure based cups that we coat with the Smart Carbon, and then this all just break down, release that fertilizer right at the root zone. And it helps with water observation, so it it will attract and hold moisture, which will help with water retention. And it's just a, you know, it's a it's a better alternative to single use plastics, because you always throw away these plastic containers that your plant varieties come in, and then you disturb the roots during transplant. So we're reducing transplant shock. We're creating a solution for single use plastics. Then we're also decreasing the labor that's and costs associated with the start of fertilizer. Because you have to purchase the storage fertilizer, and then you also have to go and apply that fertilizer after your plants are in the ground, or once the plants are emerging as seeds. And so it offers a solution that decrease all costs in many different ways, and mitigates some of the harmful effects of transplanting things like that, and that mitigates the effects of plastic use. And so it's just a better mouse trap, really. It's better mouse trap for for seed starts.
