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 and welcome back to the podcast. It's just me today and it seems like it's been so long.
0:06.7	We've had a couple of great Q&A episodes I thought with Sarah. I really appreciate you guys
0:11.4	sending in those questions and then we've had some guests that have been really fantastic.

0:27.7	That was mid-June.
0:29.3	It's been a while.
0:30.4	But I'm really excited about coming back here with you today and talking more about tomatoes.
