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. I hope you're enjoying your fall as much as I am right now. |
| 0:07.4 | One thing that I really do enjoy doing in the fall, and I think this is even more so this year than in the past, which I'll get into later in the podcast, is thinking about and dreaming about what I want to do next season, what I want to do the same, |
| 0:22.9 | what I want to expand, what I want to do differently. And I think that there's just something |
| 0:27.3 | about this time of year that makes our minds be able to imagine those things. We get a little |
| 0:34.3 | bit of a break. We're not so much focused on the got to do this and got to do that. |

| 1:35.9 | I invite you to sit back and relax. If you're not working in your garden or doing something |
