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 | Welcome back to the Beginners Garden Podcast. You know on this podcast, I try to make sure that whatever |
| 0:06.5 | I share with you each week is going to be relevant, applicable, and helpful no matter what stage |
| 0:12.8 | you are in your garden. But I specifically want to always speak to beginners so that if you're |
| 0:19.6 | just starting your garden or you're starting to expand, |
| 0:23.1 | that you'll be able to have some information that will be very helpful for you. |
| 0:27.2 | One of the most important topics, especially for beginners to get a handle on, |
| 0:32.6 | is whether you should direct sow seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors to transplant. |
| 0:41.4 | For a brand new gardener, this can be very confusing because you see people starting seeds indoors |
| 0:46.5 | and maybe you think everything has to be started indoors. Or maybe you think, okay, I'm going to buy all these |
| 0:53.0 | seed packets and then, oh wait, how do I do that? And so maybe you think, okay, I'm going to buy all these seed packets and then, oh, wait, how do I do that? |
| 0:56.4 | And so maybe you start everything in the garden. And not everything is better one way or the other. |
| 1:02.7 | In fact, there's a whole group of crops that I always tell beginners start them from seed directly in the garden. |
| 1:10.5 | Don't worry about starting them indoors. |
| 1:13.4 | Not only is it not necessary in most cases, but you also risk crop failure. And we're going to |
| 1:19.6 | talk about that today because there are some crops that, like I said, I recommend that you start |
| 1:24.5 | them directly from seed in your garden if you're a new gardener. |
| 1:34.2 | But I have been breaking some of those rules the last few years for different reasons with some of these crops. |
| 1:43.4 | And so what I wanted to do is share with you how you can successfully start some of these direct sew crops indoors. |
| 1:46.7 | There are specific ways that will help you be more successful in this. And we'll talk about why. So if the general rule of thumb is to plant your |
| 1:52.7 | bean seeds directly in the garden and not start them indoors, then why might you want to start |
| 1:58.0 | them indoors instead? So we'll talk about that. And my hope by the end of |
| 2:02.0 | this episode is that you'll get a better grasp on these particular crops that we're going to be talking |
