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.

When beginning gardeners ask me what they should grow in their gardens, and by extension, what they mean is what are some of the easiest crops that you can grow in your garden?

0:09.2

My first response is always, grow what you love to eat.

0:13.4

But I never leave it at that.

0:15.7

After all, my family loves bananas, but that doesn't mean that I can grow them.

So I want to make gardening so doable for you that you'll find yourself falling in love with

1:37.1

gardening just like I did.
