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. We are in early April, which for my climate means that
0:06.0	we are right around our average last frost date, which also means that my eyes are glued to the
0:12.1	weather forecast. I'm trying to figure out when is the best time to plant, when are we probably
0:17.3	past those frosts or freezes, and so many other things. And that's why I am thrilled to have
0:23.0	as a guest on today's show, a retired meteorologist. This is Ed Buckner and many of you from
0:29.9	Arkansas probably recognize that name. He was our local weatherman for 24 years here in Arkansas
0:36.3	and now he is retired and he is going full-fledged
0:40.2	into his hobby of gardening. Today, Ed and I talk a lot about frosts and freezes when we need
0:46.4	to cover our plants, dewpoints, and what does that mean as far as our plant's susceptibility
0:51.9	to colder temperatures, and so much more. I learned so much,
0:56.6	you guys, and I've been a gardener for 10 years. And as I was telling Ed off air, I grew up with a
1:02.0	mother who had the weather channel on our TV 24-7. So you'd think that I would know these things,
1:07.3	but I learned a lot from him. So whether you are a veteran gardener or you're
1:11.5	brand new, Ed shares some great information that's going to help all of us as gardeners be able
1:17.4	to know what to look for when we are watching the weather as it pertains to our gardens.
1:23.5	Welcome, I'm Jill, and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom looking to cut
1:29.8	grocery costs and grow my own food. Over the years with many failures and successes, I stumbled my way
1:36.1	into becoming a gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast to help others grow their own food as well.
1:42.3	By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave
1:44.9	inspired and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine.
1:53.9	Hi, Ed. It's so good to talk with you today. How are you doing this kind of nice spring morning?
1:59.8	I'm doing well, Jill. It's so good to finally get to talk to you.
