You can't tell by this picture, but there is in fact another window beneath the one you can see! It kept our basement as dark as a cave even on the brightest days. We did like the idea of these bushes, but they were so overgrown that it was impossible to save them. I tried slowly trimming them back, but all it did was exposed the dead inners and looked awful. Yet another surprise was the choking Pine tree that was completely engulfed in the large bush on the right side... We knew this was going to be a BIG job, but we had no choice but to yank these all out and start over.

HEY, THERE ARE TWO WINDOWS ON THE FRONT OF THIS HOUSE!

I built this window box to make my wife happy (she's always wanted one) and I have to say I absolutely love how it makes our home feel. It was pretty simple to make and much cheaper than going to a store and buying a vinyl one. Treated wood and steel re-bar leftovers from our deck build put to good use here! The shutters are also home-made and once again much cheaper to make than to buy. You can see the flowers barely sticking over the top, and there are flowers filling in that you can't even see. I figured if we were lucky maybe these would grow and fill in, but I never expected what they would turn into.

Below you will see what Rev and SPE has done for my flowers. They are absolutely massive, hardy, and happy. The window box flowers are only planted in about 4" of cheap dirt. I mixed in a few handfuls of SPE prior to planting and the water retention is fantastic. These flowers have gone several days without water on many occasions and they go 10-14 days between feedings. I mix 1 oz of Rev and 1 oz of general purpose plant food per gallon of water every 10-14 days with regular waterings in between. The flowers in the window box are 19" tall! 

These flower pots are our temporary solution for our landscaping. We have much more work to do and will be taking out all of the rock and re-doing the edging. We have been contemplating what to plant in the front, but with summer winding down we will be waiting on this part of the project until next spring most likely. For now, at least some light reaches our basement without the overgrown shrubbery in front! 

To the left you will see the picture of my dear grandmother, Kay McCarthy, standing in front of her home. In Columbia, MO when it gets hot, it gets HOT. She has been watering her flowers with Rev at the recommended rate of 1 ounce per gallon of water every 7-14 days all summer long, and you can see the result. In her own words, "I've been getting a lot of people stopping as they walk in front of my house almost giving funny looks, because they just can't believe how big my daisies are. It's almost comical to watch their reaction!" You can see all the signs of healthy and living biology in the soil that these goliath daisies are happy to be growing in.

Thank you, Kay, for sharing your Revved up daisies with us!

We've all heard the saying, "Money doesn't grow on trees!" at some point in our lives. It was most likely being said to us by someone that cares for us in one situation or another. While this saying is obviously true in the literal sense, it is quite false in the figurative sense. For farmers, professional gardeners, greenhouse owners and anyone else that depends on growing and harvesting goods; that saying could not be further from the truth. A growers livelihood depends on the successful harvest of their plants or crops! This is where the title of this blog post comes into play. Risk vs. Reward... yet another familiar idiom that I am sure we have all heard at one point or another. 

No matter what type of person you are, as a grower your only goal for next year is a BETTER HARVEST... I can tell you why... Not because the fields look prettier when they are fuller and healthier (though this is true)... Certainly not because harvest is any easier when there is more crop to collect... Not because it just feels warm and fuzzy having a "positive" year... There is one reason that ALL growers strive for a better harvest, and that is because their well being, and the well being of their families depends on it. That is an honorable reason in my humble opinion.

Now, if you have read this post, I urge you to do some research on our products... Why? Because, for a small "risk" you have the potential for great "reward". How much does it cost if you just want to TRY Dakota Rev to see for yourself just how it will impact your well being? Only $250.00 will get you enough Dakota Rev for a 20 acre test run delivered to your door. There have been plenty that have done this in the past... and there have been plenty that were upset they didn't just apply it to everything right off the bat. Do you want an even smaller trial? Give us a call. We would be happy to talk with you and work out a solution that fits your needs. If there is one point I can't stress enough, it is that we are in this business to bring people solutions. We strive to be knowledgeable, genuine, and work in the best interest of PEOPLE. If you are on the fence about how to improve your harvest, please give us a call. We'd appreciate the opportunity to get to know you.


Thanks, from Doug and Cap at Glacial Lake Organics L.L.C.

One last point I have to make. Where else you can you find PURE, NON-Extracted, natural organic matter and organic carbon in a form that immediately provides benefits both short and long term to your soil? If you have more than one answer for that, try this one... Where else can you find all of that in form to be applied without adding any cost in labor, time, or fuel? Remember, Dakota Rev is a liquid concentrate made to mix with your current program. For as little as $11.25 per acre you can provide unlimited acreage with the very important soil organic matter and organic carbon that it needs in order to function efficiently at the same time you apply your fertilizer, or mix with water and apply separately.

Hello,

After months of reading articles, test results, testimonials and researching topics about organics, compost teas, and other forms of soil amendments I became less intrigued with comments made by other people. I realized that listening to what someone else has done or hearing about the results someone else has gotten using any product is MUCH different than using it for yourself and seeing the results happen in your OWN application. We did a very simple small scale test that ANYONE can do, just to see for ourselves how incredible Dakota products are... and we were not disappointed.
