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.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, friend. Are you staying cool this July? We are about 10 days away from our average high temperature for the entire year. |
| 0:09.7 | So why am I talking about the fall garden today? Because now is the time we need to start thinking about our fall gardens. |
| 0:17.3 | Now, I know, you may be at a completely different place in your mind and in your garden, |
| 0:23.3 | and the fall garden may be the last thing you want to think about right now. |
| 0:27.2 | Maybe you are frustrated. |
| 0:29.9 | Maybe the heat is getting to you, the insects, the disappointments, the failures of your summer |

| 1:12.9 | to give up. This is the time to muster whatever energy you might have left to be able to find |
| 1:19.7 | success in the fall garden that you may not have ever considered. Or maybe you're on the opposite |
| 1:26.7 | spectrum and you've had an amazing spring and summer |
| 1:29.8 | garden and you couldn't be more pleased. Not everything went like you expected, but you know that |
| 1:34.9 | that's just the way it goes and you've had a great year and really you just kind of want to enjoy what |
| 1:41.4 | you've done. Totally okay too, but I'm telling you there's |
