Wood Prairie Family Farms
A small family farm on the edge of Maine’s North Woods is located just six miles from the Canadian border.
For over 45 years they have dedicated themselves to time-honored organic regenerative farming practices and building up the fertile soil of Wood Prairie Family Farm.

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. I am so excited to share with you my guest today. This is a repeat guest, Susan Mulvahill. She is coming on the show today because she has written another book that I cannot recommend enough. It's called the Vegetable Garden Problem Solver Handbook. And just like her other book, which is called the
0:22.6	vegetable garden pest handbook, it's one of those that is going to be on my bookshelf.
0:28.2	And I'm continuously going back to it for reference, looking at things here and there.
0:33.6	And both of those books are books. I recommend you do the same. You won't regret it. Today, though,
0:38.2	we're going to really be talking about problem solving in the vegetable garden because I think that's
0:42.9	one thing that definitely beginning gardeners, this is something you're going to come into
0:47.9	what's wrong with my plant? How do I know if this is a disease or something else? But even those
0:53.7	of us who have been doing it for a while,
0:55.2	there are things that happen in the garden. I'm still not always entirely sure what the cause is.
1:01.8	And so that's what we're going to be talking about today. How do we identify what the problem might be,
1:06.7	whether it's a physiological disorder like Blossom End rot rot or whether it's a plant disease or a
1:13.7	critter because a lot of us deal with critters in our gardens we're going to be talking about that and
1:19.1	susan has all the research behind her she has done a lot of work to bring us this book and to also
1:25.5	bring us this conversation to hopefully help us to be more
1:28.7	prepared in dealing with the problems in our garden. So I hope that you enjoy this conversation
1:32.9	as much as I did. Welcome. I'm Jill and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home
1:39.5	mom looking to cut grocery costs and grow my own food. Over the years, with many failures and successes,
1:45.9	I settled my way into becoming a gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast to help
1:51.0	others grow their own food as well. By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave inspired
1:56.3	and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine.
2:05.2	Hi, Susan.
2:06.3	Welcome back to the podcast.
