Organic REV

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.

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

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,

creative expressions of ways to use grow bags. If you are looking for practical information on how

to use grow bags in your garden, or if you just want to be inspired to look at different ways

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
