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.

Tired of tangles? Over the mess? Make watering your yard easy with Hoselink's Retractable Garden Hose Reel - Australia's top-rated Hose Reel, now in the US!
The Retractable Garden Hose Reel is a wall-mounted unit featuring a high-quality spring-loaded hose that automatically rewinds on command.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys and welcome to the 250th episode |
| 0:03.6 | of the Beginners Garden podcast. |
| 0:05.5 | I actually think it's a great time for this episode |
| 0:08.2 | because we're at the summer solstice |
| 0:10.4 | and that's the thing that I'm always looking forward |
| 0:12.9 | to the longest day of the year. |
| 0:15.2 | And to celebrate both the 250th episode |
| 0:18.9 | and the summer solstice, |
| 0:20.3 | I thought I would take a break from the regular how-toes, although you'll get some of that today as well, and bring you more of a fun episode. |
| 0:28.6 | And to do that, I have a very special guest with me. |

| 0:53.4 | with me for the past almost two years I guess and the |
| 0:56.9 | reason I thought that it would be fun to bring her on the podcast is we're actually going to |
| 1:01.2 | flip the script today instead of me doing an interview of a guest she's actually going to be |
| 1:07.1 | interviewing me and she's going to be asking some questions you all have asked |
| 1:12.4 | about me and my garden. We're going to be talking about some personal questions you guys asked |
| 1:17.6 | and want to know, but we're also going to be talking about some garden stuff, actually quite a bit |
| 1:21.2 | of gardening stuff. So on this summer solstice day, I hope you enjoy this very special episode. Hi, I'm Jill, and almost |
| 1:31.5 | 10 years ago, I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom trying to cut our grocery |
| 1:36.3 | bill. Over the years, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener, and I never looked back. On this |
