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 you guys and welcome back to the podcast. You know, of all the things I grow in my garden,
0:05.1	I have to say that growing salad greens for as long as I can throughout the year is probably
0:11.7	one of my biggest and most rewarding accomplishments when I'm able to make it work.
0:18.2	Not only is it amazing to be able to have my salad greens almost year
0:23.4	around. I'm still going for that entire year. I'm very close, but it also saves a lot of money.
0:30.7	Salad greens, especially if you buy organic salad greens at the grocery store, can really add up,
0:35.9	especially if you eat as many salads as I do. So today on the
0:39.5	podcast, I want to share with you what I have learned about growing salad greens to be able to last
0:46.1	year round. We're going to talk about how to go beyond growing them in the spring, because growing
0:52.1	salad greens in the spring is a no-brainer. It's really easy.
0:55.7	It's definitely where we all start. But how do we keep them growing through the heat of the summer,
1:01.2	the slow growth days of the fall, and even in the cold of the winter? Now some of this will depend
1:06.8	on our climates, but in my climate zone 7B, I've been able to come up with some cheats sort of
1:13.7	to be able to do all of this so we're going to go through how I try my best to grow year-round
1:20.0	salad greens and hopefully you'll be able to get a tip or two to help you expand growing
1:25.4	more salad greens yourself.
1:34.8	Welcome, I'm Jill and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom looking to cut grocery costs and grow my own food. Over the years, with many failures and
1:40.1	successes, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast
1:45.5	to help others grow their own food as well. By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave
1:50.8	inspired and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine.
2:00.1	We are in the first of March, which means it is getting close to, if not already, depending on where you're located, prime time for planting and growing salad greens.
2:10.1	We are going to be talking about how to do this as successfully as possible through all four seasons.
