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, I have got a treat for you today on the podcast. We're going to be talking to Charlie

0:06.3

Nardozi, the author of The Complete Guide to No Dig Gardening. You probably know that I don't till my garden.

0:14.5

I haven't for several years. I'm a huge proponent of the no till method or the no dig method.

0:22.9

And a lot of people have questions about this, especially if the only thing they know is to till their garden. Now, you may be thinking like I was

0:29.5

that the no-dig gardening approach only applies if you have a bed in the ground. But that's actually

0:35.3

not the case. The stuff that we're going to be talking about today applies not only if you have a ground bed, but also if you have raised beds, containers,

0:43.7

and there's all sorts of other gardening methods that Charlie's going to talk about toward the

0:47.8

end of the podcast today that utilize these no-dig concepts as well. And he's going to be explaining this to you in a way that's going to make sense.

0:57.4

Because I know sometimes when you start talking about soil health and things,

1:01.9

how the world works underground, it can get a little bit heady and confusing,

but not with this conversation.

1:08.0

Charlie makes it easy for gardeners of all levels, from first-time

1:12.8

gardeners to veteran gardeners, to really understand the benefits of the no-dig gardening approach.

1:18.2

And I'm super excited to share this conversation with you today. Welcome, I'm Jill, and in 2013,

1:25.1

I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom wanting to do my part to

1:28.9

provide for my family. Over the years, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener, and in this podcast,

1:34.6

I want to help other new gardeners just like I was grow their own gardens too. And don't worry,

1:39.7

if you're not a new gardener, there's plenty here for you as well. You'll hear gardening tips, techniques, and

1:44.7

troubleshooting, both from me and from guests. And my hope is that you'll turn into a lifetime

1:49.3

gardener, too. Let's dig into today's episode. Hi, Charlie, welcome to the podcast. I'm so thrilled to be

1:57.3

chatting with you today. Well, I'm very excited about being here, Jill. Thanks for having me.

2:01.6

You know, I get a lot of questions from new gardeners and even gardeners that aren't so new
