I am so excited for you to hear this week's interview. This week we are talking all about hyrids vs heirloom seeds in your garden and why you may pick one over the other with Jill Ragan of Whispering Willow Farm. Jill is the author of the book 'The Tiny But Mighty Farm' and a market gardener that has been growing food to sell for several years now. I hope that you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed asking her all the questions.

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.
