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.

| 0:05.6 | you'll be planting those cool season crops most likely when the temperature is very hot, perhaps |
| 0:11.8 | maybe even the hottest time of the year. The second half of August is when I'm starting to plant |
| 0:17.4 | most of my cool season crops, whether that's transplants or seeds directly in the |
| 0:22.3 | garden. And it can be a little bit tricky. Whether you're planting from transplant or your direct |
| 0:28.2 | sewing seeds or a little bit of both, if you're not aware of the challenges, you may find yourself |
