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. Today is a very special episode one I'm super excited to share with you. We are going to be

0:06.7

having Gary Polarchic from the Rusted Garden. Many of you already know him from his wildly

0:12.9

popular YouTube channel. And his YouTube channel is special to me because I watched him as a

0:19.7

beginning gardener myself. He's had his channel for over 10

0:22.6

years and he has this amazing ability to break things down in a word you'll hear me talk about a lot,

0:29.3

a very common sense way. He knows a lot about gardening. He's been gardening all his life,

0:34.5

but he has this ability to be able to share things at a beginner's

0:38.7

level, but also in a way that you're always learning something. His new book, The Modern Homestead

0:45.3

Garden, is one of my favorites. And I know I say this a lot, but this one has been so good. It's a

0:51.8

book that appeals to beginning gardeners, but also I learned a lot, and I know

0:57.2

you will too. But we talk about topics on this episode today that I learned from him about

1:03.6

potatoes and neem oil and his approach to synthetic fertilizer, which is a different approach that you probably haven't

1:12.6

heard on the podcast before.

1:14.0

But I love his way of viewing things.

1:17.0

And I love the really common sense, practical approach that he brings to the conversation

1:22.5

today.

1:22.9

This has been so fun.

1:24.5

And I just want to get right to the interview.

1:27.4

Be ready with a pen and paper because you

1:29.1

might want to take notes and learn from Gary because there is a lot to uncover in this episode.

1:35.4

I hope you enjoy. Welcome. I'm Jill and in 2013 I started my first garden as a new stay at home

1:43.0

mom wanting to do my part to provide for my family. Over the years, I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom wanting to do my part to provide for my family.
