Thinking Outside The Soil

Welcome to Thinking Outside The Soil, hosted by Sean E. Alfalfaseed. The show is dedicated to exploring the fascinating world of hydroponics and the farmers who use this innovative method to grow our livestock. I believe that hydroponics is the future of agriculture, and I am excited to share this passion with you. This podcast covers a wide range of topics, from the science behind hydroponics to the practical aspects of running a successful aquaponics chicken farm. I'll also be talking to farmers who have adopted this method of farming and hear about their experiences and challenges.
