  • Does Humic Acid Really work for Lawns? | 2 Year Results After two years of using humic acid products what do you think the results are? Does humic acid work? Send humates and Full Vic acid really amend our soil profile? Do liquid humic acid and granular humic acid work the same? After two years of using Humacao acid I am really shocked to see my results in the soil.

    Purchased my house 2yrs ago. Clay soil. The backyard was a swamp after hard rains. Last yr along with having some drains installed, i started amending my soil with humic and sea kelp. In less than a full yr i can already see the difference. Alot is due to the drains, but i also see vast improvement in spots the drains do not effect. No more puddles, let alone puddles that would take a wk to absorb. I'm excited to see continuing improvement going forward.

    I used to use Best 9-9-9 Super Iron fert for my lawn and plants… it’s good, but has no soil improving components at all and it’s all chemical. So, it’s only short-term nutrients, but long term salt buildup and compaction from the chemicals. Bad for soil.
    Switched to Gro Power Plus 5-3-1 (has a 70% humus base and 15% humic acids) just last week.
    It has weaker NPK… but I think/hope the humus and humic-acids will be much better for the long term - conditioning and improving the soil.

      Anytime, there isn’t a bad time. It can be applied b4, after or even during seeding. Just remember, it’s not an immediate product, as it’s a soil bio stimulant, but it stays in your soil as a carbon source for years! So slow start develops results over time!

    • @TheGreenerLawn
      @TheGreenerLawn  Před 4 měsíci

      We built. When they prep the lots they scrape the top soil from the fields as they can get good $ for the "top soil" as these were old farms.
      Then as they dug for footing / foundation they unearthed clay 13' into the soil and that is what they back filled the lot with / graded with. lol it is how it works, with root cycling / amendments / promotion of microorganisms and earth worms this is how top soil or better soil is created. In nature this process takes years of root growth / microbes / earthworms
      Doing their thing naturally. Adding humic acid speeds this process up. It's what farmers and golf courses have used for lots of years (somthing 1786, so a couple years any ways ) it's relatively new to homeowners 2010's ish.

    Finally purchased after discussing my lawn issues with you last fall. If you remember, got an area that seems hydrophobic. Could i add a surfactant to maximize absorption? I read that humic acid, itself, can be used as surfactant so not sure if I'm wasting time/money. Thanks!

    • @TheGreenerLawn
      @TheGreenerLawn  Před rokem

      Play it simple, use baby shampoo to do the early work of breaking up the soil’s hydrophobic nature.
      czcams.com/video/JQAS5oGQaVg/video.html
      It will help the short term affects, while the humic acid gets in there and works for the long term amendments. Any soil enters the right circumstances can go hydrophobic, and that’s where baby shampoo can break it, but better soils, have a less tendency to go hydrophobic.

    Humic, fulvic and Kelp in the correct ratios are magic. Howard Fertilizer has a product called 350 Turf that is as fine a product as you will find. One to two gallons per acre monthly. 3 to 6 ounces per thousand. Split is as you want.
    In addition to the aforementioned adds, it has Fe, Cu, Zn, mb, B Mn and Mg. Calcium doesn’t play well with others so add that in dilution for a full mix.
    I sold this to golf course superintendents for years as well as a myriad of other products. This is great.
    During my time there at Howard many superintendents were seeing, Cu especially, but also elevated Zn and Fe levels. So I developed a product that removed all of the Fe, Cu and Zn and maxed the Mn at 5% and Mg at 2%. The most that would fit in the jug. All the other adds stayed the same. Became one of the best selling products in the lineup. Called 39762. A customer helped with the formulation. He was a Mississippi State man. I told him he could name the product. But “To Hell With Ole Miss” didn’t pass. 39762 is the zip code for the department at Miss State where you send your money as I understand it. ;)
    If you aren’t adding the Kelp and Fulvic, please try them. And then some amino acids as complexing agents rather that standard chelates like EDTA or glucoheptenate. Magic. Soil/root/leaf health like you would not believe. Great to see you do an actual test of two seasons rather than two monthly apps and complaints of no results. Good work.

When I dig in others yards the future, I have promised to take pictures, just haven’t been out to any lately... but soon, I assure you.
      Natural root cycling and soil amending is 2-5” in 5-10 years, this is a natural breakdown of organic material and amendment obtained by soil organisms. This is where I ask those who oppose, and in almost a year of this video being out, why no one has said any thing about a 3 year old lawn (put in June 2 2017 hydroseeded), having 8-14” of darker, richer soil.... when nature will take 5-10 years for 2-5”.... my channel is my diary of applications.

    • @TheGreenerLawn
      @TheGreenerLawn  Před 4 lety

      It def root cycling plays a big part, worms play a part and the humic draws the worms in and makes the the grass healthier for root cycling... common knowledge root cycling for 5” of topsoil in our lawns usually takes 5-10 years.... this is 2 years post hydroseed on Utah clay. Something has expedited this process, as I have 8-14” depending on area and trench of amendments and I have documented processes (CZcams videos) of my applications. While I accept your root cycling, I don’t believe this is it. Other neighbors I have helped with sprinklers in my neighbor hood are seeing 1-4” of soil change and most of it is on their sod dirt.

    • @TheGreenerLawn

      Depends on a zone.
      I have my front park strip that takes 25 min
      Front yard 60 min
      Back yard (those 3 zones combined)
      Patio 40
      Middle 45
      Fence 40
      Side yard - 25 min
      So all different . I have to run my system 7 hours total to get it all one inch a week

    • @TheGreenerLawn
      @TheGreenerLawn  Před 4 lety +1

      +Mr. Green thumb it stresses the lawn. What it means, that if you like your lawn 2 inches, you can let it grow to 3 inches cut 1 inch off and that is 1/3 of the blade. That will keep that grass from dressing out or scalping. So never cutting more the 1/3 will keep your lawn from stressing out. Make sense?

      Yumpin Yiminy nothing like lime will do for you. Lime will be your quickest hit, this will hell make the soil amend its self over time, so your soil stay healthier. This will help the grass thrive in the low PH conditions as it will help unlock minerals bound by the soil (in addition to the lime).

      You can stop when you see results. It’s not fertilizer. Once added it’s there for 100’s of years. It’s a carbon source extracted from lenordite shell.

      Uhhh well, as often as you see a next fertilizer /bio stimulent video. All my Applications are on video... so not super often, or huge amounts. This year, I’m going to pack it into my soil hard, but I’d say this has had 50-100 oz of Humic, or Humic containing product put into it.
      I didn’t know I was going for this video, so I just saw it, and shot it... so there isn’t an exact amount for up there... but it’s relatively low, for 2 years, I feel.

      Manny Motta it doesn’t matter. The quicker we get the humic acid into the soil the quicker it begins working .... slowly 🤪.

      That ph isn’t a good range for grass growth the added stress of out side the “perfect ph” range adds to increased risk of damage from fungus and pests. With that said have you done an elemental sulfur application? 5lbs per 1k twice a year will bring your ph down, slowly, but you will be trending towards the right way. Reason I bring up the 5lbs per application of sulfur, you have to apply a lot of product to get a ph change. It’s not easily fluctuated. I’d be shocked to see any significant change from a product like this... other sources like my high ph, is my secondary water, it’s 8.4-8.3 depending on year... that effects my ph every time I water... ugh..
