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 having a great day so far. As I'm recording this, it is a beautiful
0:05.6	October morning. I'm loving these crisp mornings. I've got coffee in my hand. Not that
0:11.8	summertime stops me from having coffee in the morning, but, you know, it just has that comforting
0:16.9	feeling when it's a little bit cool outside. And I'm doing some reflecting, mainly because I just
0:22.1	placed a grocery order last night, going to be picking it up today. And I am not alone when I am
0:29.0	honestly shocked by the rising food prices. It seems like every time I go to the grocery store these
0:34.2	days where I place a pickup order, I think, oh my goodness, if this is
0:38.6	hitting me hard, how much harder is it hitting people who are not growing a bulk of their own
0:44.2	fruits, vegetables, and herbs? And you may be thinking as you're listening to this that growing
0:49.8	your own garden, that may be a significant purpose for you is to actually save money on your groceries.
0:58.1	That's where I started out in 2013. The reason was because I wanted to become a stay-at-home mom,
1:03.2	not necessarily because food prices were rising. They definitely weren't. Back then was the golden
1:08.0	age of couponing, so everything everything was cheap but now it has become
1:12.3	I think somewhat of a necessity for many of us so one thing I wanted to talk about today is actually
1:18.8	how to make gardening a little bit more economical because if you've had a garden in the past you
1:24.5	know that gardening can be expensive when things start adding up.
1:29.7	One way that we can mitigate some of the costs involved in gardening is to save our own seed.
1:37.4	I do save my own seed. I don't save all of my own seed, but I save as many as I can.
1:45.6	And we're going to talk about that today.
1:51.2	And here's what I wanted to go over with you, is to talk to you about how to save seed from eight popular summer crops. Now, as I'm talking to you, it is October. We have not hit our frost date
1:57.8	yet, so my summer crops are still in the garden. Yours may be long gone, but there's
2:02.9	still maybe some hope for you to save some seeds even if your summer crops are out. Regardless, I'm
