Welcome to the Cannabis Cautubus Cultivation and Science Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey, of KIS Organics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of organic growing from a science-based

perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

Our guest today is gone by the online name of Clackamas Coot on such forums as I.C. Meg and

Lumpur Dogs on Grass City. He is an organic grower and gardener who has helped many people in

improving the way they garden and move away from bottled nutrients. He is most famous for his

neem crab and kelp soil mix, which many people know is the Coot Mix, which he shares freely,

and the sprouted seed enzyme teas

he makes using barley. I met Coot eight or nine years ago when he came to one of my talks in Portland

on compost teas. We became friends and I have to attribute a lot of credit to him in regards to our

soil mixes and nutrient packs. He has been a good friend and mentor and helped me to improve my

gardens over the past decade. Well, before we start, I wanted to find out, did you want to go by

Jim or Clack of a Skeck of a Skeck? Yeah, Jim, yeah, I don't care. I mean, more people know me

as good, unfortunately. So that's my fault, though. You're not hiding anymore, your identity? No, I never was.

I just, I got tired of Instagram and the silliness.

I mean, I thought forums were bad, but they don't hold a candle to social media.

I mean, this is a whole, you know.

Sure.

It just, you know, I don't, hey hey look, I never made myself a big deal.

All I ever did was pass out information about how people could make the soil better.

I mean, I'm not selling anything.

Everything's in a bottle.
