Exposing the Myth of The Living Soil
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Keep on Growin’ with Mike VanDuzee”.
My answer to so many comments about hydroponics not being optimal because it lacks soil which is full of microbes and nutrients.

I found your documentary interesting and if you could explain the difference between soil and hydroponics it would be helpful to me? I was being facetious in this statement.
Why does soil grown vegetables have more macronutrients than water grown and this is proven in many scientific studies?
I agree with you that the soil isn’t alive but if you review your own video on attempting to grow Lion’s Mane mushroom, (which I grow) that mycelium is the key in the cycle of life.
Just look at any forest and it’s the mycelium that nourishes the roots and provide the minerals for the trees.
Man’s farming practices is destroying the mycelium in the earth which is affecting the health of mankind because we are unable to extract the nutrients in what we eat.
I process my own minerals using castings from earthworms that have consumed mycelium that I grow in a laboratory, and as a bonus I add Mealworm and Black Soldier Fly frass which I ferment to extract the minerals that is foliage sprayed, and I never add anything except H2O to the soil. I use the water capillary action to water my plants to field capacity. The plants have no diseases and no pest, I don’t use any fertilizes or chemicals.
My tomatoes taste like the original Love Apple.
I have enjoyed your tutorials and the knowledge you provided to me. I thank you!
I believe that it’s not NPK the plants desire.
I have photos demonstrating what minerals can accomplish if you desire to witness.
Note: My crops are grown using both soil and hydroponics with no difference in appearance or taste. I’m 75 and I haven’t been sick since I had chicken pox at a very young age and of course I eat Black Garlic each day.
Wonderful presentation! I felt like I was back in school again except this time, I had a much better teacher!
What an odd poetic essay.
He sounds likes a disgruntled former soil food web student
The people who understand the wonders of soil disagree with industrial monoculture agriculture and it’s evils which you have addressed so well here. One of the reasons living soil respecting gardeners are so happy is due to breathing in, and skin contact with antidepressant soil bacteria. Thanks for a beautifully made video. 🌿🌹🌿
It’s just easier to say “living soil” rather than “soil with living things in it”.
I grow veggies in pots during the warmer months, and I grow my stinky little medicinal plants indoors all year, in sphagnum moss based soil with a bunch of organic amendments. And when my cannabis got to the point of needing fertilizer I used to use organic stuff like Dr Earth’s or Guia Green. But it takes a while to break down and be absorbed. So lately I’ve been using Fox Farms liquid nutrients when I need to feed the ladies. A lot of cannabis growers call it a “synganic” method. And it’s been better. I would prefer to figure out when to use the organic stuff and just use it. I use Recharge and Stash Blend to add microbes, beneficial fungus, humates, silica and other good stuff.
I don’t have a problem with hydroponics. I have experience with aquaponics and I love it. It’s my favorite way to grow strawberries and salad stuff, and I started doing a dual root zone setup for peppers and tomatoes just before I moved.
But for my situation hydroponics is pretty complicated for cannabis. I am using Earthboxes for some plants and AC Infinity auto watering bases with fabric pots for the rest. So I’m bottom watering, which also screws up top dressing with organic stuff.
