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	Before we get into companion planting today, I wanted to make sure you know that Dream to Garden is officially open for its spring enrollment.
0:08.3	Dream to Garden is my online garden planning course where I teach you how to plan and grow your own garden from spring, summer, and fall, and maybe even the winter.
0:17.1	The doors are only open for one week starting today through February 13th. So if you've
0:22.5	just been waiting for the doors to open, here is your chance. Press pause on this podcast and go to
0:27.7	journey withjill.net slash dreamtogarden to enroll. Hey you guys and welcome back to the beginner's
0:33.5	garden podcast. Today we're talking about a very popular topic and one of my favorites, and that is
0:40.2	companion planting. Why do you think companion planting is such a sought-after topic among
0:46.4	gardeners, especially beginners? Is it because we truly think that one plant can help another?
0:53.2	Is it because we want to employ this strategy to help
0:56.6	repel harmful pests and help us to avoid pesticides? Maybe all of that is part of it, but I'd venture,
1:03.5	especially for a gardener in a small space, the reason is much less complex. We simply want to plant more in that small space. Maybe we want to get
1:14.7	more food in the same space or maybe we want to add some pretty flowers that also do some
1:20.7	double duty alongside our veggies. There is a lot online about companion planting and I'm always open to new ideas to accomplish all of these goals.

1:39.1	While I'm still testing various combinations, it's so much fun to test from year to year.
1:44.6	Today I'm going to share with you seven that I've found some success with, and many of them
1:49.7	are staples in my garden plan each year.
1:54.7	Welcome to the Beginners Garden podcast.
1:56.6	I'm Jill and I'm so glad you're here.
1:58.9	In this podcast, you'll find easy to understand conversations
2:02.0	about how to grow your own food. As a first time gardener myself 11 years ago, I remember what
2:08.6	it's like to feel overwhelmed. So I want to make gardening so doable for you that you'll find
