Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson a
couple of years ago. And in course, you know, we
talk about trying to make gardening easier, right, Uh, you know,
work smarter, not harder when we're out in the garden,
and and we try to find tools and things that
make it easier for all of us. And a couple
of years ago at the SINS show up in the
or the Cultivate show up in Columbus, Ohio, I saw
(00:22):
a tool there with a young man and was demonstrating
the tool I thought was outstanding, and it was called
the Earthlifter tool. And so after I saw that and
kind of you know, saw the demonstration, got one used it,
loved it, and got old this young man to be
on our show and talk to us about how he
developed the Earthlifter tool. And our website is earthlifter dot com.
(00:43):
And everybody I know that has bought an Earthlifter tool
has absolutely loved it and thanked me for pointing him
in that direction. But since then, I've gotten to know
this gentleman a little bit better. And this guy knows
more about garlic and the benefits of garlic and staying
(01:03):
healthy then garlic knows about garlic. So I want to
make sure I mentioned the Earthlifter tool because it's that's
what got us started. And trust me, if you're looking
for something to make it easier for you in the garden,
check it out. It's earthlifter dot com. But today we're
going to talk about one of the things he loves.
He and his wife love to grow. As a matter
(01:24):
of fact, he says, garlic may be the most magnificent
gift you can give yourself when you can consider choosing
one plant embodying the essence of what a gift truly is.
Who is that, gentleman is mister Neil bevla bevla Aqua.
I've been trying to practice that all week. You know,
last time I just called you mister Bevil because it's
(01:44):
a lot easier. But bevl Aqua and Neil. Great to
have you on the show this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Good morning, Ryan, thank you. Please call MEO. All okay,
So you mentioned a couple of things that are really
interesting and my my main let's say, uh uh desire
in life is for health. And so when I tried
(02:10):
to understand many years ago, let's let's let's go back.
I'm a little older than you think I am. So
I've been studying basically psychology for I go before the years. Uh.
And one of the things that I've done is I've
(02:32):
been a research scientist for eleven years and I've been
studying actually neuro transmitt this is brain brain psychology, you know,
brain chemical psychology. And so that that led me to understand, uh,
you know, depression. I studied depression actually, and when I
(02:53):
studied depression, you know, the main drug or chemical that
people use to study it is eratonin. So when I
looked at the serotonin, I find out that it is
made in the gut biome. So then I studied about
the gut biome and that it just opened up the
(03:14):
whole world. It's basically everything, everything that goes on in
your body, every chemical, the hormone, every transmitter, everything comes
out of your gut biome. So then I said to myself, well, wow,
this is this is the center. They call it the
second brain in psychology because it tells the brain, or
(03:36):
tells the body what it needs and then it produces it.
So think about the biome, the gut biome as parallel
to your soil, to your to your you know, to
the you know, the the medium that you grow things in. Okay,
So the idea that everything that goes on in your
(03:57):
body kind of comes out of your gut biome. So
you have twenty seven hundred and three thousand different little
microbes it's called microbiota growing there and they control you know,
your your your your sugar levels, your heart rate, everything.
So I wanted to find out, well, if this is
(04:21):
the garden that's in our body, what is the best
fertilizer for that garden let's call the garden. And so
then I looked into all the different you know inputs.
You know. You know, you can eat tail, you can
eat you know, crimini, mushrooms, you can you know, all
these different things. Then then I said, well, what is
(04:41):
the absolute best, most important. It's called the pre biotic. Okay.
A pre biotic is think about it as a fertilizer
for the probiotics you always hear about, you know, yogurts
and probiotics, But a prebiotic is considered think of it
as a fertilizer. So there I went on a great
(05:02):
search for many years to figure out how do you
make the best gallic in the world, which is you know,
obviously kind of a fool as ever, but I I
do think I make things, I try things, so so
basically that's that's kind of the beginning point here. Okay.
(05:24):
So so I don't want to like, we have only
a certain period of time and this is your show.
I want you to ask me, interrupt me, whatever you
want to call it, you know, whenever you want anything.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I have to tell you. Last week, we were at
my daughters and they ordered up a couple of pizzas
from a local pizza place and they're they're known for
the great pizzas. But anyway, one of their ingredients that
they add to pizza is a thin sliced garlic clothes.
So they took their they took their garlic clothes and
actually slice them so they were about eighth of an
inch thick, and then put those as a topping on
(05:58):
the pizza. It was outstanding, and I felt better, I
think after I ate that thing. But I thought I
thought of you the whole time, because I mean this
garlic saying, oh, mister mister Bevilaca would love this pizza
because all the garlic one there. But you know, it
was a great flavor, and of course garlic is, you know,
coming on so strong now and we're all realizing it
(06:19):
and of course learning more from you about the importance
of garlic in our in our health and what it
can do. But I think the thing and and and
and again. Folks can learn more about all of this
on his website at earthlifter dot com. Not only you've
learned about the tool, but go to his blog and
all this is He's written all this out for you.
It's amazing to read all of what what mister Neil
(06:41):
has done here. Uh as far as the research, but
I kind of wanted to get you on today also
not only to promote this the benefits, but also you're
such an experienced garlic grower and right now is a
great time for planting garlic. Garlic one of the best
times to kind of pick your brain as far as
and I think you told me you and your wife
have grown up over forty cultivars of garlic out there,
(07:04):
which I had no idea there were so many out there.
But kind of give us some pointers because you're very
successful at growing garlic. Kind of give us some pointers
on which ones you like the best. I think you're
mostly a hard neck, a guard to grow. So I'd
like to if we could share some of some of
your tips on how to grow garlic, uh successfully, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So we'll do that and if we can in a
let's let's call it in a sequence, because what you
have to first understand is that galic is extremely unique plant.
Let's call the plants. It's actually a plant. So in
(07:47):
the world of glics is what's called soft neck and
hot neck. All right, soft neck is the stuff you
get into soup in supermarkets, and like about seventy or so,
it's actually grown in China, and it's it's kind of
grown under dubious conditions. We you know, they use fertilizers
(08:08):
that we wouldn't use the United States, right, And but
what it is is it's it's a lot of tiny clothes.
So a head of soft gog will have a fifteen
twenty little little clothes. And the taste is not very
good to me or to many people. I have a
(08:31):
very very high level gormonds and chefs, and you know,
very and you know my I don't be bragging or anything,
but the stuff that I grow is much more nutritious
and delicious for various reasons. Kind of let me I
started off this. You asked about how it grows. So
(08:54):
one of the things that people don't understand or you
know people you know some do vel is that galic
has very very short roots and gallic evolved to be
seven biotic with something called mycilium or micorizial soil. So
basically they have a partnership. And what that means is
(09:18):
that when you establish a bed, it has all these
filaments they're called hyphene, that extend like you know, tens
of twenty feet away from the actual plant, and they
have this relationship that the gallic gets photosynthesis, makes a
(09:39):
shirtarce puts it, brings it down to its roots, and
then the mycilium brings minerals and water and nutrients to
the roots and they exchange it. So some plants, other
plants do that, but not like galic. Galic is it
has like sixteen town roots and so it has a
(10:01):
very feet of let's say friends that that supply it
with with minerals and nutrients. So that's that's one thing
why golic has. It has one hundred and thirty sulfur compounds,
It has numerous minerals and many nutrients within it, and
(10:22):
it's evolved to be a h a sink for all
the nutrients around it. So the garlic itself is uh
is full of nutrients. Now one of the things that
when you said you had on pizza, sliced on pizza.
(10:42):
One are the other unique aspects about gog. If you
take a clove of glic and you smell it, just
just just take it off and smell it. You will
smell anything if you eat it. If you eat it,
just throw down your throat. Uh. You won't get any
new treats or anything out of it. The unique part
(11:03):
about gold is that it evolved or somehow. The chemical
I say expression is this thing called alison. Alison is
called that is the healthy is everything basically and how
it's made. Think of epoxy. If you have two components
(11:26):
of epoxy and you haven't sitting next to each other,
they won't do anything. It's not it's not blue. But
if you mix them together then and then you wait.
So God has two sizes of cell that when crushed,
sliced or somehow mashed together, and you have to wait.
(11:48):
You have to wait ten to fifteen minutes. Then the
it's called the epoxy becomes or the you know, the
chemical becomes Allison. That is the health, the nutritious. That
that's everything about glic. So people should know that, I
mean your your your your clients, your your guests should
(12:10):
know that when you make when you have glic, you
should always crush it or slice it up somehow and
then wait, you have to wait, and then then you
have real glic. That's the real that's the real trick.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
All right, We got to take a quick break. We're
going to come back. We'll learn more about growing garlic.
Well when we come back, I want to know what
you use in your soil mix, what kind of a
base do you use for growing your garlic. We'll take
a quick break. We'll come back more with mister Neil
talking about garlic. And the website is earthlifter dot com.
Be sure and check it out. You'll learn more about
the tool and garlic as well. Here in the Garden
(12:47):
with Ron.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson's special
guest this morning is mister Garlic Neil Bevilaqua, and of
course he's the inventor of the Earthlifter tool check it
out earthlifter dot com. But You'll also learn an awful
lot about the benefits of growing garlic, and now's the
time to plant garlic. This is a great October, is
a great month for planning in your gardens, raised beads, containers,
(14:34):
whatever it may be. So we're talking to him. One
is about the many benefits, which we kind of know,
but this guy really knows the benefits of garlic. And
then what are the secrets because he grows so many
different types and is so successful. What some of the tips,
mister Neil for your success in growing garlic?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All right, So just to kind of just not to
correct you, but I actually grow grous fifty seven fifty
seven different varieties. There you go over the over thirty
five years. Now, I have tried many, many different ways
and different types. Now there's eleven main main types of
hard neck. I grow hard neck because they're more delicious
(15:16):
and they are one. They're they're they're they're wonderful. But
of the eleven types, I only grow four, uh and
actually five because of my climate. Now, everyone, your audience,
I'm not sure how how how far south, how far
north right, But I'm in a rough area. I'm in
(15:36):
the upstate New York mountains, you know, a couple of
thousand feet up in the air. So my climate, uh,
certain ones, certain types, certain families are actually called uh
you know, purple stripe, you know, porcelain rock and bowli.
Certain families grow best in my climates. So let's start
(15:59):
from the begin. If you asked about how if you
have a perfect world, I see, I try to think
of extremes. So in a perfect world, if you were
to uh, let's say, uh uh inoculate your bed with
my celium. Now, my celium, it is uh, it's it's,
it's it's it's basically what the uh the substrate is
(16:23):
for mushrooms. It's basically it's the stuff that lives in
the earth. And it's just like you know, a gut biome.
We have all these microbes, so your soil has all
kinds of microbes also. So you're talking about doing it
the easy way. I'm trying to uh do everything the
(16:44):
easy way, because if you do it not easy, you
do it the way that it's not onerous or not difficult.
This is why, this is why I invented that tool,
because I couldn't uh. You know, it's for for people
who have you know, uh, strength us or age problems
or or just any kind of problems. It makes it easier.
So in terms of the soil, I'm we've been trying
(17:08):
to figure a way of you know, you've heard about
regenitive agriculture. Well, this is kind of regenerative fertilizing. So
if the if the if the high see the micarasio
of the my cilium soil is going out and grabbing
the nutrients for you for the plants, and they're bringing
(17:29):
them in. Now, what what does the plants feed on?
They need they need certain nutrients to feed on, and
so we use uh, you know, once again, the mycilium base.
It is a I don't want to say products with
you because I'm not sure with what you know, but
(17:50):
this product, well, you know there's a product called you know,
pro mix b X which has a my cilium base
to it, which is we use it, okay, But I
also I also I have a very big background in
another area, which is carbon graphite, and I know about
carbon pretty well. And there's a there's a a anaerobic
(18:15):
way of heating up wood or organic materials that make
something called biochart now bio biochart.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And and just so you know, we've got about two
minutes to go, so we're.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Gonna okay, So I try to leave a storage. Uh.
I try to h put in the earth something that
is regenerative. So biochart, if it's charged, will keep your
regenerate the nutrients in your garden for one hundred years. Basically,
(18:47):
we also use something you know, we use our salth
ol saltha like but you know, organic alfalfa pellets, but
you feed horses basically because of nitrogen in there. And
and we use wood ash for a kind of a stimulant,
and also you know, for other reasons. And we for
some reason, the all like seafood, so you know, it's funny.
(19:12):
It's a you know, so that there are mixes with seafood, seaweed,
shells kelp. And then okay, so we use that when
we first plant, like next like I'm planting tomorrow actually,
and I planted a couple of days ago because I'm
planting two thousands heads, all right, so you know, fishy
(19:33):
motion when the when the plants emerge, fish e motion
is a very good thing to add to it.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
All right, We're and we're running out of time, and
I tell you what I want to tell everybody go
to the website earthlifter dot com. You'll learn about the tool.
You'll learn all about this because he's written all of
this out for you to follow along, as far as
all the great things that he does. And if you've
got questions, you can email him. Do whatever. He'll help
you out as much as possible. Neil, Mister Neil, thank
(19:59):
you so much spending time with us. You you are
mister garlic. Can we really appreciate it?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Well? You being you being in the garden, you're doing
a great service. Also, people should be outside.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, there you go, Neil, beblallakaua and then check
it out again. It's earthlifter dot com. Quick break. We
come back taking your calls at eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five Here in the Garden with
Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Bring Tom or not Ron can help at one eight
hundred eighty two three talk, they says in the Garden
with Ron Wilson.
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson a
couple of years ago. And in course, you know, we
talk about trying to make gardening easier, right, Uh, you know,
work smarter, not harder when we're out in the garden,
and and we try to find tools and things that
make it easier for all of us. And a couple
of years ago at the SINS show up in the
or the Cultivate show up in Columbus, Ohio, I saw
(00:22):
a tool there with a young man and was demonstrating
the tool I thought was outstanding, and it was called
the Earthlifter tool. And so after I saw that and
kind of you know, saw the demonstration, got one used it,
loved it, and got old this young man to be
on our show and talk to us about how he
developed the Earthlifter tool. And our website is earthlifter dot com.
(00:43):
And everybody I know that has bought an Earthlifter tool
has absolutely loved it and thanked me for pointing him
in that direction. But since then, I've gotten to know
this gentleman a little bit better. And this guy knows
more about garlic and the benefits of garlic and staying
(01:03):
healthy then garlic knows about garlic. So I want to
make sure I mentioned the Earthlifter tool because it's that's
what got us started. And trust me, if you're looking
for something to make it easier for you in the garden,
check it out. It's earthlifter dot com. But today we're
going to talk about one of the things he loves.
He and his wife love to grow. As a matter
(01:24):
of fact, he says, garlic may be the most magnificent
gift you can give yourself when you can consider choosing
one plant embodying the essence of what a gift truly is.
Who is that, gentleman is mister Neil bevla bevla Aqua.
I've been trying to practice that all week. You know,
last time I just called you mister Bevil because it's
(01:44):
a lot easier. But bevl Aqua and Neil. Great to
have you on the show this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Good morning, Ryan, thank you. Please call MEO. All okay,
So you mentioned a couple of things that are really
interesting and my my main let's say, uh uh desire
in life is for health. And so when I tried
(02:10):
to understand many years ago, let's let's let's go back.
I'm a little older than you think I am. So

then I looked into all the different you know inputs.
You know. You know, you can eat tail, you can

A pre biotic is think about it as a fertilizer

obviously kind of a fool as ever, but I I
do think I make things, I try things, so so
basically that's that's kind of the beginning point here. Okay.
(05:24):

I want you to ask me, interrupt me, whatever you

So God has two sizes of cell that when crushed,
sliced or somehow mashed together, and you have to wait.
(11:48):
You have to wait ten to fifteen minutes. Then the
it's called the epoxy becomes or the you know, the
chemical becomes Allison. That is the health, the nutritious. That
that's everything about glic. So people should know that, I
mean your your your your clients, your your guests should
(12:10):
know that when you make when you have glic, you
should always crush it or slice it up somehow and
then wait, you have to wait, and then then you
have real glic. That's the real that's the real trick.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson's special
guest this morning is mister Garlic Neil Bevilaqua, and of
course he's the inventor of the Earthlifter tool check it
out earthlifter dot com. But You'll also learn an awful
lot about the benefits of growing garlic, and now's the
time to plant garlic. This is a great October, is
a great month for planning in your gardens, raised beads, containers,
(14:34):
whatever it may be. So we're talking to him. One
is about the many benefits, which we kind of know,
but this guy really knows the benefits of garlic. And
then what are the secrets because he grows so many
different types and is so successful. What some of the tips,
mister Neil for your success in growing garlic?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
All right, So just to kind of just not to
correct you, but I actually grow grous fifty seven fifty
seven different varieties. There you go over the over thirty
five years. Now, I have tried many, many different ways
and different types. Now there's eleven main main types of
hard neck. I grow hard neck because they're more delicious
(15:16):
and they are one. They're they're they're they're wonderful. But
of the eleven types, I only grow four, uh and
actually five because of my climate. Now, everyone, your audience,
I'm not sure how how how far south, how far
north right, But I'm in a rough area. I'm in
(15:36):
the upstate New York mountains, you know, a couple of
thousand feet up in the air. So my climate, uh,
certain ones, certain types, certain families are actually called uh
you know, purple stripe, you know, porcelain rock and bowli.
Certain families grow best in my climates. So let's start
(15:59):
from the begin. If you asked about how if you
have a perfect world, I see, I try to think
of extremes. So in a perfect world, if you were
to uh, let's say, uh uh inoculate your bed with
my celium. Now, my celium, it is uh, it's it's,
it's it's it's basically what the uh the substrate is
(16:23):
for mushrooms. It's basically it's the stuff that lives in
the earth. And it's just like you know, a gut biome.
We have all these microbes, so your soil has all
kinds of microbes also. So you're talking about doing it
the easy way. I'm trying to uh do everything the
(16:44):
easy way, because if you do it not easy, you
do it the way that it's not onerous or not difficult.
This is why, this is why I invented that tool,
because I couldn't uh. You know, it's for for people
who have you know, uh, strength us or age problems
or or just any kind of problems. It makes it easier.
So in terms of the soil, I'm we've been trying
(17:08):
to figure a way of you know, you've heard about
regenitive agriculture. Well, this is kind of regenerative fertilizing. So
if the if the if the high see the micarasio
of the my cilium soil is going out and grabbing
the nutrients for you for the plants, and they're bringing
(17:29):
them in. Now, what what does the plants feed on?
They need they need certain nutrients to feed on, and
so we use uh, you know, once again, the mycilium base.
It is a I don't want to say products with
you because I'm not sure with what you know, but
(17:50):
this product, well, you know there's a product called you know,
pro mix b X which has a my cilium base
to it, which is we use it, okay, But I
also I also I have a very big background in
another area, which is carbon graphite, and I know about
carbon pretty well. And there's a there's a a anaerobic
(18:15):
way of heating up wood or organic materials that make
something called biochart now bio biochart.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And and just so you know, we've got about two
minutes to go, so we're.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Gonna okay, So I try to leave a storage. Uh.
I try to h put in the earth something that
is regenerative. So biochart, if it's charged, will keep your
regenerate the nutrients in your garden for one hundred years. Basically,
(18:47):
we also use something you know, we use our salth
ol saltha like but you know, organic alfalfa pellets, but
you feed horses basically because of nitrogen in there. And
and we use wood ash for a kind of a stimulant,
and also you know, for other reasons. And we for
some reason, the all like seafood, so you know, it's funny.
(19:12):
It's a you know, so that there are mixes with seafood, seaweed,
shells kelp. And then okay, so we use that when
we first plant, like next like I'm planting tomorrow actually,
and I planted a couple of days ago because I'm
planting two thousands heads, all right, so you know, fishy
(19:33):
motion when the when the plants emerge, fish e motion
is a very good thing to add to it.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
All right, We're and we're running out of time, and
I tell you what I want to tell everybody go
to the website earthlifter dot com. You'll learn about the tool.
You'll learn all about this because he's written all of
this out for you to follow along, as far as
