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.

| 0:00.6 | Hey, you guys, and welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're going to have a return guest, |
| 0:06.3 | Jill Winger, onto the podcast. It's been a while since she's been on the podcast. She talked to us about |
| 0:11.6 | raised beds and how hay poisoned her soil. Definitely some how-to episodes we'll put in the show notes for you |
| 0:17.7 | to check out. But today's conversation is different. |
| 0:21.3 | And I have to say, I think this is one of my very favorite conversations on the podcast, |
| 0:26.8 | one of the top ones for sure. |
| 0:29.2 | Instead of doing the how to do this in the garden, it's very much a conversation about |
| 0:35.3 | how gardening benefits us, how we can get back to our roots, |
| 0:40.5 | live old fashioned on purpose, but not in a legalistic type sense, but discovering what |
| 0:47.2 | truly lights us up. I just don't really know how else to summarize the conversation other than |
| 0:52.8 | I hope you love it as much as I do. Her book, |
| 0:56.1 | Old Fashion on Purpose, just released last week. We'll be talking a little bit about that and we'll |
| 1:00.4 | have a link in the show notes. But I just want to get right into my conversation with Jill and I know |
| 1:05.5 | you will love it as much as I did. Welcome. I'm Jill and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom |
| 1:13.5 | looking to cut grocery costs and grow my own food. Over the years with many failures and successes, |
| 1:19.6 | I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast to help |
| 1:24.6 | others grow their own food as well. By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope |
| 1:28.7 | that you leave inspired and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine. |
| 1:39.2 | Hey, Jill, it's nice to have you back on the podcast. Good to see you again. Thank you for having me. |
| 1:43.5 | I'm so excited to chat. |
| 1:46.8 | Congratulations, too, on your book. I read it within just a few days, which is saying a lot because I'm kind of a slow reader. And so I would love to just chat with you real quick before we get into some of the nitty gritty of what we're going to talk about today. I would like to chat with you about something that really struck me when I was reading your book. |
| 2:05.6 | And it has to do with the first few chapters of your book where you were talking about how we have |
