Video version of Episode 2 with Michael Box of blu mats May 27, 2022

Show notes

On this episode we have Michael Box from Sustainable Village. Michael is the head sales rep and Project Manager for Sustainable village or Blu Matt irrigation system. They are based in Bolder Colorado and sell one of the most efficient irrigation systems for living soil or agricultural farms. Over the years paring a Grassroots raised bed and a blu mats irrigation system is the most popular and successful ways of achieving a static moisture level in your living soil beds. Reaching this point and maintain these levels allows for beneficial bacteria and fungi to colonize your soil mass and constantly produce nutrients for the plant. Many growers have proven this can result in a big boost of yields and quality.

In this episode we talk about how to set up design and maintain this system. How to feed nutrients, monitoring moisture levels and making adjustments. When a pressurized system is required compared to a gravity feed system. When to use drip emitters compared to the blu soak soaker hoses.

Michael and I get to see and visit some of the best and worst grows in the US and Canada, we take a tremendous pride in offering these customers the absolute best personalized solutions available for there style of growing.
