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 | Hey there. I hope you're doing wonderful on this spring day. I'm recording this in the morning and I just |
| 0:06.2 | got back from walking my garden in the morning. I love doing that, especially in the spring. And one thing |
| 0:12.1 | that I noticed as I was walking my garden is that the herbs are really starting to pop. They are beautiful |
| 0:18.8 | with their young and new growth, especially the ones that have |
| 0:21.7 | survived over the winter. And this is a great time of year to really be talking about herbs. |
| 0:27.7 | Whether you already have herbs growing in your garden or you're starting to add herbs for the |
| 0:32.2 | first time, this is a topic that really confused me for a while. |
| 0:37.9 | And a lot of things that I learned about growing herbs, specifically companion planting with herbs, I learned the hard way. |
| 0:45.9 | And so what I thought I would do in this episode is just to really go through some of the most common herbs that we grow. |
| 0:53.0 | And what are some things we need to know about these herbs |
| 0:55.6 | that will help us when we're trying to decide where we're going to grow them, how they're |
| 1:00.6 | going to grow best in our garden, and how we can use them in companion planting, either in our |
| 1:06.3 | main vegetable garden or companion planting with each other. And then at the end of the episode, |
| 1:11.4 | we'll also be talking about when's the best time to harvest certain herbs because a lot of us are actually getting |
| 1:17.2 | to that time of year or we've already been to that time of year where it is time to harvest. |
| 1:22.5 | This episode is going to be chalk full of herbs information and whether you're brand new or |
| 1:27.4 | you're just continuing your |
| 1:29.2 | herb growing journey, I hope that this episode will have something that will help you in your |
| 1:33.8 | garden today. Hi, I'm Jill and almost 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home |
| 1:41.1 | mom trying to cut our grocery bill. Over the years, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener, and I never looked back. |
| 1:47.9 | On this podcast, you'll hear gardening, how-toes, and inspiration, both from me and from guests. |
| 1:53.1 | And whether you're a new gardener like I was or still learning, like we all are, |
