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, guys. I've got a very special guest for you today. This is Dr. Elaine Ingham. She is from the |
| 0:06.9 | soil food web. And I was first introduced to her when I was watching the Back to Eden Gardening Summit. |
| 0:12.8 | It was just something that I try to do in the background to learn more so that I can share more with you |
| 0:18.7 | all. And I was really impressed with everything that she |
| 0:21.2 | shared. And she specifically shared a story about how she was able to work with a farm in Australia |
| 0:28.2 | to produce table grapes in the midst of a drought when no other farm was able to do that. And it really |
| 0:34.6 | fascinated me, especially with so many of you all asking me about |
| 0:39.2 | irrigation and you're dealing with drought or lack of rainfall. And let's be honest, even those of us |
| 0:45.6 | who have plenty of rainfall, there are times when it gets dry and in my area, at least, |
| 0:50.8 | water prices are going up significantly. So how many of us couldn't use a little |
| 0:55.5 | bit of extra help to make our gardens more resilient and as drought proof as they could possibly be? |
| 1:01.8 | So she's going to be talking a lot about how we can actually work with our soil to make it more |
| 1:07.4 | resilient from the ground up. And a lot of the things that she shares today, |
| 1:12.3 | some of it is going to be in depth. |
| 1:14.2 | Some of it's going to be very basic. |
| 1:16.3 | You're going to have a little bit of mix of both. |
| 1:18.1 | So whether you're a beginner or whether you have been gardening for a while, |
| 1:22.1 | you're going to find something here for you. |
| 1:23.9 | So I hope that you will enjoy this conversation with Dr. Elaine Ingham. |
| 1:29.5 | Hi, I'm Jill. And almost 10 years ago, I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom |
| 1:34.6 | trying to cut our grocery bill. Over the years, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener, |
| 1:39.3 | and I never looked back. On this podcast, you'll hear gardening, how-toes, and inspiration, both from me and from |
