Soil testing can be one of the most important things we do in the home garden. The health of our crops and the yields they produce can all come from the elements within the soil. Today we're talking with Christina McInnis of SoilKit on what it means to test your soil and how to read those results and turn them into a course of action for your home garden. If you want to test your soil this fall, this episode is a must listen.

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.
