Welcome to the Beginner's Garden Podcast! This is the podcast with easy-to-understand resources, tips, and information to help beginning gardeners get the most out of their gardening adventure -- big or small. When I began gardening in 2013, I scoured books and Internet resources to find all the information I could. Although good information was abundant, I had trouble understanding all the gardening lingo and sifting through the information to figure out what would work for me. In this podcast, my aim is to provide helpful information while explaining the gardening lingo as we go. I want to equip YOU to have the best start ever this gardening season!
There can definitely be a learning curve when it comes to thinking about how to plan out a winter garden. Today I wanted to talk about a few of those tips with you.

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.

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.
