Root Hume - Humic Acid

Product worked as advertised. Applied per instructions with backpack sprayer. Noticeable results on day 4-5 with best results around 7-10 days. Applied 2nd to last week of April. Lan had already been fertilized and pre emergent in early March. Liquid fertilizer 3 weks after that. Noticed significant green up, growth, and the lawn seemed to thicken up quickly. Seems to have allowed to nutrients to be better absorbed in the soil. Very low odor, Applied it in combo with liquid iron. The iron has a much stronger odor. Overall likely to re order at some point when needed and continue to use in my lawn program.

The soil on my NC property is all red clay. I used Simple's liquid aerating product twice a year and then this product. I can do my 8,000 square foot yard with a 32 oz bottle in a backpack sprayer. Those with a hose end sprayer will have to walk real fast and will most likely need 2 bottles. . The good news is that you can actually see the brown liquid coating your lawn, so it is easy to follow your spray pattern. I will also alternate between liquid and granular humic acid. Although, a bag of granules is more expensive. A 40 lb bag will cover 40,000 square feet. So when you add it up, is 6 of one or half dozen of the other. I do like the granular version from The Andersons as I believe that the granular version will treat the red clay soil a bit better.in any case, I have been using this humic acid product for 6 summers and my fescue in green, very healthy and most of all, survives July and August which are brutal for cool season grasses.

Saw this on a YouTube video from Ryan Knorr and thought I'd give it a shot. Reasons for me trying it are simple.1. I have a small lawn and live in a windy area. Using a hand broadcast sprayer with granulated product can be difficult and using a drop spreader is not convenient in my back yard.2. I am less worried that it will cause problems with my dogsThe pictures I posted are because they didnt really have a good front and back photo to really understand this product before purchase. I'll provide better updates on my YouTube channel and here. Check me out if you like. My channel is called "The Weekend" and look for Ep 2: Adulting for a Day so you can see my lawn and what I'm working with.Update 5/21/2019I added a before photo so you can see if it does anything. No other fertilizer was put down. As you can see this is a freshly mowed lawn with new see put down. I used this plus their soil loosener product. I'll add another photo in about a week or so. Soil temps are optimal right now where I live in California to have new seed grow and be established before it gets to hot. Soil loosener is 3 ounce per 1000 sq ft. Make sure you soak the lawn after to allow penetration.Update 6/4/2019Just mowed the lawn and this is what I've seen so far. More grass has popped up, but does not appear any thicker. I can tell that my soil is a little less compacted since it's not holding water like is used to in certain spots. I have added an additional picture to update this review and I have also bumped it up to 4 stars. I am going to add another application down soon, but this will also be with some nitrogen as well via another product. Unless someone wants to send me their summer blend.6/22/2019: I have to say that this stuff plus the liquid soil loosner has done wonders to turn my lawn around. Pictures are in order of the progression of my lawn rehab. I can say that my lawn is very thick and has done very well. I have adjusted my watering times by just a few minutes every other day. I do not have to worry to much about my lawn right now. This is just in a matter of 1 month with temperatures exceeding 95degrees most days and these two products have done wonders. I just recently got the summer/spring fertilizer to see how else my lawn can become the best it can be. If you are interested. Follow my review on that product. Make sure you like my post if you enjoyed my review.

I switched to a liquid fertilization system and I wanted something that would be safe for the pets and give me the results I needed. I contacted the company via Amazon with my soil test results and got a few recommendations, which for me was the Soil Loosener/Conditioner, Humic Fulvic Acid (Liquid Carbon), and Superior Nitrogen & Potash. I generally apply a bit less than recommended, but more frequently and I’ve never been happier with the results. I do add the Advanced 16-4-8 a few times a year, as well as organic insecticide. Other than mowing and mulching, those are the only products I’m using.I started with a mud pit of a yard 4 years ago when I bought the home and finally focused on the yard last summer by starting the overseeding and fertilizer process. The icing on the cake was the nutrients this year from Simple Lawn Solutions. I’ve had countless neighbors ask how I got such a green yard when most of the neighborhood was yellow dead grass.Having pets is also rough on the yard and even in the backyard where the “business” is done, you couldn’t even tell as the grass is green and just beautiful. I do find the liquid so much easier as you can clearly see where you’ve sprayed and what’s left. I use a tow-behind sprayer on my lawnmower and usually spray as I mow and then do a final round before calling it a day. It’s super simple, cost effective (way cheaper than hiring a service and much less expensive than many other products I’ve seen). I couldn’t recommend this enough and look forward to seeing what I can do next year as well!

Ok don’be fooled by the small container, it’s concentrated so this little bottle will cover aprox 10k sq ftI did some research on this vs core aeration, what I came up with is that they each have advantages, this is better for long term health of the lawn , is way cheaper, and easier to apply etc but core aeration will give you amazing results quickly , my plan is to alternate this and the core aeration each fall to both save money and have the best each has to offer , this had the best ratings so I’m hopeful this will improve my lawn together with the core aeration
