In this week's episode, the Flora Fellas are joined by a surprise guest and new member of the Take It or Leaf It recording team - whether they like it or not! Then the pair discuss biochar (what is it?), as well as its possible benefits for your plants and potential for preventing plants from absorbing heavy metals in the soil. Finally, Ethan brings us some more hilarious customer encounters and a story about his...purpleanus? Enjoy!
