The Dirty Truth: Your Organic Compost May Be Poisoning Your Food

Pat Miletich sits down with Patrick King, known as the Soil King, a lifelong soil scientist and CEO of Soil King Products, for a no-filter conversation about the real state of America's soil, food supply, and the systems that keep both broken on purpose. Patrick has spent decades in the field working with farmers, growers, and land managers across the country. What he has found is not reassuring. American soils are so contaminated he cannot source clean worm castings or compost anywhere in California and imports them from Tennessee instead. In this episode: - How biosolids containing forever chemicals, heavy metals, and microplastics have been spread across 70 million acres of American farmland for 25 to 30 years - Why EPA-approved and OMRI-certified organic compost from county facilities is often more toxic than conventional inputs - How the recycling and waste management system is feeding industrial waste back into the food supply under an organic certification label - Why germ theory got it backwards, and how nutrient deficiency and toxicity are the real drivers of infection and disease - The living soil biology framework: what healthy fungal to bacterial ratios actually look like and why it matters - How Patrick works with both synthetic and regenerative farmers to transition toward chemical-free, high-density nutrient growing - Why educating children to grow food without chemicals may be the most important long-term intervention available Patrick King is the CEO of Soil King Products and a keynote speaker on soil science, waste management, and regenerative agriculture.
