Grow Bags
The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals. Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%.
REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily available to plants via their root systems.

0:00.0 | Hey guys. One thing that I have loved about seeing so many people embrace gardening over the last several years is that we're also embracing new ways of being able to grow our own food. |
0:12.8 | And one of those things that I have actually embraced as well is growing in grow bags. |
0:18.2 | And a lot of people have asked me questions about growing in grow bags. |
0:21.3 | I certainly have seen the benefits of doing this in my own garden. And I wanted to bring on a guest |
0:27.2 | who has actually had a lot more experience growing in grow bags than me. This is Kevin Espiriti |
0:32.4 | from Epic Gardening. You will remember him from several different episodes. He's been on the podcast. He's a wealth of |
0:39.2 | knowledge and he has a lot of information that is perfect for beginners and experienced gardeners |
0:44.6 | alike. His new book, Grow Bag Gardening, is available today. I read it from cover to cover within a few |
0:51.6 | days. And he gives a lot of really good tips and really unique, |
0:57.2 | creative expressions of ways to use grow bags. If you are looking for practical information on how |
1:03.3 | to use grow bags in your garden, or if you just want to be inspired to look at different ways |
1:08.3 | you can use this container option, I highly recommend his book. But in case |
1:13.6 | you don't know what grow bags are or you're curious of how you can use them a little bit better, |
1:18.0 | Kevin and I are going to dive a little bit deeper in this conversation with some basics on |
1:23.1 | grow bag gardening and some more in-depth ways that you can be successful if you're going to be growing |
1:28.9 | in grow bags this year. I know you are going to love this conversation with Kevin Espiritu of |
1:34.4 | Epic Gardening. Let's get to it. Welcome. I'm Jill and in 2013 I started my first garden as a new |
1:42.8 | stay-at-home mom wanting to do my part to provide for my family. |
1:46.5 | Over the years, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener, and in this podcast, I want to help |
1:51.2 | other new gardeners just like I was grow their own gardens too. And don't worry, if you're not a new |
1:56.4 | gardener, there's plenty here for you as well. You'll hear gardening tips, techniques, and |
2:00.7 | troubleshooting, both from me and from guests. |
