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. It's getting to be the time of year where a lot of us
0:05.2	are in planting mode. And if you're like me, you can't always stop with just the vegetables or the herbs.
0:12.6	You also are starting to think about other things that you might want to plant, whether that's
0:17.0	flowers or what we're going to be talking about today, medicinal herbs. This is a subject
0:22.8	that I've had a lot of people ask me about, and it's one that I honestly hesitate to talk a lot
0:28.1	about because I don't have a lot of experience or knowledge, definitely not as much as so many
0:34.0	other people, but I have been doing it for several years. So I can kind of give
0:39.3	you my experience and my recommendations based on what I've learned because I have planted
0:46.0	and grown a lot of herbs that can be doubled up as medicinal purposed herbs. And some I use a lot
0:53.2	and some I don't. That's kind of the way of gardening.
0:55.8	I think we're always trying new things and then we're deciding what we really like and what we don't.
0:59.8	And these days, there are five that I would recommend to beginners who are wanting to grow their own
1:06.6	medicinal herbs, but they're not quite sure where to start. I chose five today to share with you.
1:12.2	And these five are unique because for most zones, up to zone three, I believe, for most of the
1:18.0	ones I'm going to share with you today, these are going to be plant once and then harvest for
1:22.1	years plants. These aren't going to be ones that you have to plant every year. So if you plant them
1:27.0	this year, you don't have to worry about planting them again. plant every year. So if you plant them this year,
1:28.2	you don't have to worry about planting them again. Now, you may not be able to harvest from them this
1:31.8	year. You may have to wait a year or two to start harvesting, but they're the kind of plant that
1:36.8	you'd be able to have for many years and use them medicinally for many years. So today I'm going to
1:43.5	be talking to you about not only what
1:45.8	these five are, but also how I use them in my household and maybe to inspire you on how to grow
