Developing solutions for our growing mediums
In This Podcast: Soil nutrition is not just a simple matter to Dr. Bill Sadler; it is so significant that feeding the life in the soil is central to the whole life cycle. He explains the importance of healthy nutrition for the multiple families of organisms in the soil, as well as why different groups need different foods. He also shares why noticing which weeds are growing can help you understand what is happening in your soil.
Bill began farming at the age of eight, when under the watchful eye of his father, he both successfully managed his own tomato & vegetable stand selling his own harvests, and helped raise Nubian dairy goats on the family farm.

Bill earned his PhD in Biochemistry, and with skills as a proven problem solver, focuses on developing green and sustainable solutions for a wide range of products and services.
