Growers Mineral

In this episode of the Growers Mineral Podcast, National Sales Manager Chris Kohls sits down with Markus Weber, a fruit tree nursery owner and district manager based in Ontario, Canada. Originally from the Black Forest in Germany, Markus shares his journey to North America and how he built a successful nursery focused on growing food—not just plants.

Markus explains why micronutrients and balanced minerals are essential to soil and plant health, how a Growers field trial showed results in just 3 days, and the science behind frost protection using minerals and sugar.

They also discuss:

Greenhouse innovation and year-round fruit growing
Why Markus avoids calling it "fertilizer"
