  • Cyanide: The Hidden Poison in Almonds, Apples and Bamboo
    Sep 20 2025

    This episode explores natural sources of cyanide in common plants — how cyanogenic glycosides hide cyanide in seeds and tissues, how breaking cells releases toxic hydrogen cyanide, and why the smell of almonds can be a warning sign.

    Examples include bitter almonds, apple and stone fruit seeds, cassava, lima beans, sorghum and bamboo shoots. The episode covers safety measures (cooking, leaching, drying, fermentation such as gari) and specific hydroponics cautions like pruning cherry laurel and growing cassava.

  • Micro-plastics in Fertilisers! The Truth About Controlled-Release Fertilisers
    Sep 19 2025

    In this episode we expose the environmental and health risks of granular controlled‑release fertilisers: non‑biodegradable resin granules often contain micro- and nanoplastics that persist in soils and can be taken up by plants. Recent research shows nanoplastics can accumulate in edible parts of crops, raising concerns for food safety.

    The host explains why many retail granules (e.g., Miracle‑Gro, Osmocote) aren’t truly biodegradable, discusses alternatives like plastic‑free liquid fertilisers and small, frequent feeding, and shares industry insights and Eutrema’s approach to safer options.

  • Glee Find - A Novel Propagation Tray idea - 'Bustaseed'
    Sep 18 2025

    Dr. Russell Sharp reports from the Glee trade show, sharing highlights like a Latvian Bloom Cabin greenhouse and a standout product from Buster Seed: durable, pull-apart propagation trays designed for gentle transplanting.

    The episode explains how these reusable trays reduce transplant shock, let growers monitor root development, and are particularly useful for mycorrhiza-dependent plants, making them a practical choice for home gardeners and hydroponic growers alike.
