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.

Welcome to November, you guys. It's kind of hard for me to say that, honestly, because I'm not, I mean, I love Thanksgiving, but this is the time of year that it kind of gets tough for me. It's tough for me as a gardener. It's tough for me as a person. And that's why I thought today's guest would be perfect for this time of year. Her name is Liz Zorab and she gardens in Wales.

0:24.3

This is the first time I've ever talked to a gardener who isn't in the continental United States.

0:29.1

And I thought that this was such a fun conversation. I started reading her book grounded over the

0:34.6

summer. And as I talk about with her later, I can't wait to finish the rest of it.

0:38.5

It's become one of my most treasured gardening books. We're going to be talking about a lot of

different things, especially when it comes to managing your time in the garden. This will apply,

especially if you do have a large space garden like I do, but even if you have a small space garden,

but I want you to make sure and listen

to the end because we talk about her struggle with seasonal effective disorder.

she gives some really great advice. So definitely be sure and listen to the end. Going into this part

1:40.7

of the season if you're in the Northern Hemisphere is an absolute must to be able to consider these thoughts the season if you're in the northern hemisphere is an absolute must to be able

1:45.9

to consider these thoughts, especially if you struggle this time of year. But besides that, Liz

1:51.2

grows a fantastic garden and she has had the most unique garden journey. I am so thrilled to

bring you this conversation. You are absolutely going to love it.
