- Robbie from Premier Lawns explains how to boost your lawn with this one thing. It's one of the best kept secrets in lawn care. Humic acid is fantastic as a soil improver for both clay soil and sandy soil. It is a soil conditioner and bio-catalyst and bio-stimulant for plant growth and the secret sauce to the perfect lawn
Humic acid helps the soil by boosting levels of microbial activity, it provides carbon, which is a food source for beneficial soil microbes. By boosting microbial activity, humic acid also boosts the availability of nutrients both in the soil and in the additional fertilisers you use on your lawn

Brilliant as ever Robbie!!
Thanks Dave 😁
Very helpful, thank you.
Great information. I use a blend of soluble humic, kelp and aminos from kelp4less in the states. Very convenient and will stream line your process.
It is by far the best product I’ve tried and their quality is great.
They may ship to you. If $ is a problem I’ll kick in a few pints for you at the black stag in Dublin
You are a very legitimate person. I appreciate your sincere efforts
Topman. Thanks for that treatment info re clay type soil. I'll order that tomorrow. After many years of turfed grass issues over clay soil no one has ever mentioned the Humic Acid, as well as following your process. Cheers
No probs, enjoy 💥❤️
We use humic, fulvic, kelp, molasses, yeast plus different fertilizers on our customers in the states.
All good stuff, thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel
Great video again Robbie. Lawn coming along nicely 👌
Thanks Peter 😀♥️
Brilliant video 👏
Thank you! 👍
Hi Robbie, great stuff with the videos, keep them coming.
Question for you: would you be able to do a video on a calendar / timeline of key tasks for the Irish lawn i.e. when to scarify, aerate & overseed, when to fertilise, when to put down weed / moss killer. So much info on the internet but mostly for American lawns and not much for the amateur Irish gardener in terms of calendars and work to be completed.
Thanks!
Great idea!
Make sure you do one for us'uns and one for them'uns
Great idea re an Irish lawn care calendar. Currently wondering when to stop mowing. Is it when soil temperature gets down to 5c?
@@MrRichiestafford stop when the weather dictates :)
Great video Robbie. I love these 2 resources you make acid and seaweed or liquid kelp. The hue make acid helps unlock nutrients that are blocked in the soil and I always put it down after fertilizing it seems like the uptake is much better. I like using liquid kelp or seaweed after knowing it seems like it has a healing effect on grass and stimulates root growth. Thanks for your videos they help all Us DIY'S Get pointed in the right direction with our lawns.
Sorry about the auto correct . You get the point though.
100percent always try and work with nature
Robbie keep the tips coming 👊🏻
Thanks Simon
Great video and I love that rake that you showed in the beginning and throughout your other videos also!! I wish we had those in the USA
Strange that you can't get them there. That's a pity. Could get one posted from the UK...
Lol yea we cant win for losing hahahah that makes me laugh but it's true I haven't either!!!
@@Premier_lawns_official yea it just looks like it would be way better than anything we have here !!
If sulphate of ammonia gives us N (nitrogen), what are the products we can use that are organic and soluble to give us the P (phosphorus) and K (potassium). I’m learning lots from your great videos 👌⛳️

Thanks Mike ♥️👍
Hi Robbie, great video explaining why and how you use humic acid. Could you explain how you mix your seaweed tonic as well? If complicated could you do a vid how to like this one. Many thanks
Hi david, no problem. Will do 😁♥️
Another great video in my favourite garden. ;)
Haha thank you 😍♥️😎😁
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for leaving me a comment, hope you have a great week
Great video Robbie. Some good advice there.
Thanks.
Great info Robbie.
Thanks David 😎
Hi Robbie, loving all your videos thanks. Can I ask for some advice please, I’ve cut, scarified and spiked with a fork and then put moss killer down, how long do I leave it until I rake it up, and do I rake or scarify again (I’ve got one of those wire cartridges for my lawn mower), and what’s the next jobs to do. I need to remove weeds and want to flatten/level my lawn. Cheers
not a big fan of the wire cartridges. Little and often is best in that respect
What ‘iron’ do you use to feed the grass and does it need to rain after applying it to work.
Love your channel. Keep it up
All the iron is the same ;) It does need to be watered in but not straight away
Not boasting, but as I sat down to watch this I said to the Mrs "itll be seaweed and/or humid/fulvic acid". 😁. Great products, certainly part of my treatment schedule.
The old favourites hahah
@@Premier_lawns_official ahh lol sorry couldnt resist. Hope you are well mate
@@LawnRight do you make it up yourself or buy it premixed?
@@Premier_lawns_official premixed liquid for both. The seaweed mixes great with iron but the humics dont wanna go through on a green dt2 hypro nozzle. Although they do well on a red dt2
@@LawnRight we use the red dt2 a lot too.
HI Robbie, just started watching your vids and getting good info, where I keep getting lost on is feeding the lawn. I have 100m2 front lawn and same again back lawn. I used Iron Sulphate in May to kill moss, Scarified in May then put down 4 in 1 feed and weed in June as per bag instuctions, I stil have that clover type weed and weed grass, I will follow your vids for september re aeration scarifying and seeding, Should i be putting a feed down now and what should it be, Im Antrim, its clay compact soil that is alway damp, already have mushroom growth. Thanks a mill and keep it up.
Jack watch my last two videos for the clover and welcome to the channel 👌👍❤️
Robbie I’m a big believer in returning nutrients into the soil, the more grass clippings we collect the more we deplete the nutrient cycle. Is it beneficial to mulch leaves and grass clippings back in? Providing you keep ontop of that levels? This year instead of collecting leaves I have mulched them back in as an experiment
Depends on the lawn and what you are trying to achieve.
Would an application of Humic, Seaweed and light fertiliser be overkill?
Not at all
Hi Robbie could you make a video explaining a bit about how to start up a lawn care business? I’m 23 with only 5 years of lawn maintenance experience, wanting to make the jump but I’m not sure wether it’s too soon or how to go about it. Thanks
Hi Lui
That's a tough one for me to cover. I know all the local gardeners around me watch my channel. Some have even asked if I can teach them in person. (No go)
A lot of them have bought the tools that I use and are now out trying to compete with me.

Great info thanks
Thanks Bill, hope you have a great weekend
Robbie feels like am getting an education again, love the popup overlays really helps enforce what your saying, hope it not to time consuming,with the video editing , thank you so much Robbie, just to double check seaweed ratio of 5, humeric acid ratio of 2 ? Many thanks
All correct yes 😁
Most of the videos is at least 8 hours often longer
Hi Paul - when you say a ratio of 5 could you elaborate on that? I have just bought some of the Emerald Isle and not sure on the dosage rates... there seems to be various options on their website for lawns. It seems they are suggesting about 125ml to 100 sq. metres and 6.25L of water...
We use it at 50 to 1
@@popandu1170 maths is not my strong point but here goes
ratio of 5:2is the same as ratio 2.5:1
so if 125ml =2.5 then its 125ml dived 2.5 =50ml
so if my maths say you need 50ml humeric acid approx. for 125ml seawwed to 100 sq. metres and 6.25L of water
need to check with Robbie thoe maths is not my strong point
and I don’t have access to the label of humeric acid that might put a spanner in the works
@@t008mx ah! gotcha!... for some reason I was reading it as the seaweed to water ratio of 5 (long day!) which threw me as emerald isle advise 50:1 as Robbie mentions above. Your maths is all good ; ) and thanks so much for claryfying mate.
Hi Robbie, I've ordered some humic acid thanks for the discount code and I've also ordered some concentrated liquid seaweed, gonna give this a go next season how often would you apply throughout the season, hope you can help
as often as you want, once every 4- 6 weeks (Can do it less)
Another great Video. How often will you use humic acid on your lawn. Thanks for any info
We will be putting it on once a month with the seaweed
Hi Robbie
I have recently over seeded and top dressed my lawn but I also haven’t achieved the desired results with thickness. Would you recommend aerating again and then just throwing seed down?
Thanks!
Hi Robbie, another great video. I am curious as to whether you have seen real improvements with Humic acid especially on clay soils? I also wondered if it can be combined with a wetting agent / liquid aerator to help with penetration? I find it amazing that such small quantities of humic can have an impact on soil profile.
Little and often is key. 1 dose isn't going to do much.
Hi Robbie, thanks for the great videos, please can you help me with some advice. My lawn is really struggling with all of the water at the moment. Could you advise me on my best option to help it. Ps merry Christmas
Hi Andy, most lawns are going to struggle this time of year.
Hi Robbie, I noticed your link takes you to Amazon that charges £29.99 for 2 ounce, yet the Green Hand Organic is selling the soluble version for £16.00 for 500g. think I'll get from Green Hand Organic!!!

Excellent video as always Robbie! The only problem now is that I'm going to be spending more money 😅💰. The guys in America talk about this a lot but I think you are the first to sum up the benefits so succinctly. BTW lawn is looking good. Are you still on for that Kensington in the new year? 💰
Hahaha would love one. Can't see that going ahead without divorce proceedings shortly after
@@Premier_lawns_official I reckon it will look great with the Honda striping it up next year. I will look forward to seeing it once the season gets underway 👌
@@grahammacklam4736 we will be cutting it lower than the Honda will go 😁
@@Premier_lawns_official so if not the Honda or Kensington then with what? Handshears? Or I think a used push cylinder mower like a Webb witch 🤔
@@grahammacklam4736 sissors! Hahah no, I have said enough already.
Great Vide Robbie. Some interesting products there to look up. I wonder if you have advice on wormcasts. I put in a lovely flat lawn a few yrs ago which has been destroyed by them. It is like walking on rocks now. I have read you can just sweep them off with a besom broom but they are always just too wet. Thanks.
I will probably do a video on this shortly....
Hi Robbie. Great video as always. How many times a year should I use the humid acid and seaweed fertiliser? Dave.
Hi I have a better product that has loads of humid in it that breaks down very slowly
I talk about it in this video
czcams.com/video/mtYUMWKyi6I/video.html
Hi Robbie.....I've just bought a backpack sprayer for next year and was thinking of humic acid and seaweed on my lawn for next year! (Great minds eh?) I've only used a bit of fertiliser and weed control with good results so I was going to try the acid and seaweed with the fertiliser next year? Anything else you recommend me doing? Oh.......another great vid!!!
Iron is very good for your lawn too
Hi mate how many grams of humic acid would be needed per litre of water? Also I have sort of set myself a requirement of humic acid, scarification, aeration, iron sulphate/fertiliser in that order. Would that be the correct way to go about it? Great videos straight talking lay man advice.👍
Everything you need is in the video description
Hi Robbie, I love these video! Keep them coming! I would like to add humid acid and seaweed to the lawn using my knapsack sprayer, there will be freezing temperatures over the next few days, will that make a difference to the efficiency or shall I wait until temperatures warm up? Best wishes Greg
Best to hold off for a bit
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks, will do!
Hi Robbie! Another great vid here mate and well done for putting in so much leg work for it!
I'm based in the south of the UK and I know its gettting late-on in the season now but coud you advise what is the minimum duration you need to have for aerating and then treating with a seaweed & iron treatment before the risk of a frost? is it that you need a frost-free day for the treatments themselves or a number of frost-free days after the treatments? i.e. 3 or 7 for example? if there is a man that will know it is you! ; )
It's fine to aerate and use seaweed all year. But don't do either in frost.
You can treat after the frost goes in the day
@@Premier_lawns_official ah thanks so much robbie! we have a 3 degrees at night on the way at the end of next week so I'll get it done on monday before the temperatures drop down! as with many areas at the moment it's on the wet side here but hoping the aertion will help things over the winter! hope you are doing well! ; )
Another great video Robbie. I managed to sow my new lawn mid October and so far I’ve got lots of good strong growth. It does look like I’ve got some bare spots - possibly due to drop spreader or rain or birds. I’ve got a perennial rye and creeping fescue mix so I’m wondering- how long I need to wait to possibly over seed or will the creeping fill the gaps by the spring?
Hi Steve, it's getting a lot colder now in the evenings and that's going to have a big effect on ground temps.
Best thing to thicken it up is cut to give it a cut if it's over 60mm.
But more info in this video
czcams.com/video/UQ_kADOC_ws/video.html
Hi Robbie. Interesting video. I have a few bare spots also where the seed didn't take. I will more than likely tackle that next spring. Would that be March or April? (based in Dublin) Thanks.
@@pronoun_dilemma April would be your best bet
@@Premier_lawns_official Thanks Robbie.
Hi Robbie another question! Can i spray the Lawn with the seaweed feed after i cut it or is it like other products 3 days before or 3 days after a cut? .
Thanks Richard
Best to leave it a few days
Ay up Robbie, another great video. Are electric knapsacks the way to go? How often are you using yours and what do you use it for?
We use them for everything now, love them. Smaller footprint in the van and shed.
@@Premier_lawns_official think I might have to get one then. They seem more accurate.
Hi Robbie..I’m very new to gardening and really need help as there are so many products claiming to do this or that! . What is the best fertiliser that is harmless to birds and insects etc, ? I’ve got a good sized lawn but also lots of moss. I bought a scarifier as I don’t want to use chemicals that will be harmful. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a Facebook group premier lawns community
Is Humic acid better or just as good as putting down Gypsum? Would you recommend Gypsum over the acid, or is recommend to apply both the acid and Gypsum? Or should Gypsum be avoided altogether? Thanks.
I'm not that clued up on gypsum. It's ok to use, just don't go ott on it as it has a lot of salt in it
@@Premier_lawns_official Thanks for the reply. I'll go do some research on both.
Hi Robbie. Is there anywhere i can buy the granular Humic acid. No availability on Amazon currently.
There should be a link in the video descritpion
Hi , which electric knapsack do you use and is it good . Pressure ? Iron ? Battery life ?
It's a Milwaukee sprayer, the battery lasts for ages. There are different pump/pressure settings on it. It can really throw the water out if needed, we have it on 3, goes to 5.

Hi Robbie, great video again, this was really interesting for me as I have a wet clay back lawn that I am looking to improve, I will try the humic granules before I give up entirely and lift the lawn to install some major drainage
Drainage is the best for a wet lawn. This will help improve but it won't work miracles 👍😁
@@Premier_lawns_official that’s what I thought, not sure I can face digging out tonnes of clay! Especially with the weather the way it is just now! I may just have to do it slowly over the winter, would love to have the lawn in great condition for next spring, I am determined to show the rest of our street that Astro turf is not the way
@@lewisdallas3895 if you are going to do it now (or later) get some cheap ply boards to put the debris on top of, don't put that clay back in, use 20mm stones in the base, then pipe, then more 20mm stones and then 5"oof soil on top
I'm 3 weeks into re-seeding a really patchy lawn. It's now a mix of old and new grass. Is seaweed OK for this type at say the 6 week mark?
Apply seaweed any time

Hi Robbie, I've treated my lawn with Autumn feed about 4 weeks ago, also raked and spiked it. Had no moss then but noticed there is some on it now. What do you recommend please
If you look closely once I'm chatting about the holes being like plant pots you can see moss starting to grow.
That's nature at work, all you can do is create the best conditions for the lawn that you can
Hi Robbie, another informative video. Regarding the system, can I apply the formally at any time r is it a seasonal thing? Kind regards Tony Banks, Lancashire.

Love Humic and seaweed. Always put a pair of the wife’s tights over the top of the sprayer hole when I pour it in... stops the clogging. Thanks for the tips again. Question. Do you have to put a top soil on after you have aerated or will the holes close by themselves?
It's perfectly fine not to top dress. Depends on what you want to achieve 😁👍

Hi Robbie With the seaweed and humic acid, can you safely mix in soluble iron too?
Yes, though always do a test mix if you are mixing chemicals
Can horse manure fresh from the stables be used to feed a lawn? If yes, how and when would you use it.?
No I wouldn't be doing that....
Hi, do you recommend spraying iron, seaweed and humic acid on the lawn on the same day or should you leave time between each application? Great videos and total newbie to gardening
If it was me I would do it in the same mix, though always read teh label of the products to make sure they can be mixed beforehand
Try using a table spoon of sugar per liter of water feed the microbes they will make all the humic acid that you need.
Great video as always 👍 How often can you use humic acid of your lawn?

Gypsum will probably work better for clay to be honest.
Silly question, but is it not optimum for a new turf and top soil lawn, to add liquid seawood for the winter?
Yes add that too. Your lawn needs lots of different nutrients..

Could you apply with a watering can if you don’t have a sprayer?
Paul, you could, though you would be much better buying a backpack sprayer, even a cheap one. Would be much better than a watering can.
Can I ask what would make a lawn really spongy ?
Hi Tracie, thatch and moss would make it spongy. This video will explain it to you and how to fix it
czcams.com/video/HjM10H8LaFQ/video.html
@@Premier_lawns_official yes she has a fair bit off moss. Thank you 😊
If i were to apply this to my lawn, is it likely to be walked around on the bottom of my shoes? How long should I have everyone keep off the grass for?
Great question. I don't know. Though best practise with any chemical organic or otherwise is to wait until at least the lawn is dry before walking on it. If you were worried I would recommend doing a test patch first.
What time of year would you recommend using humic? Also before or after scarification and aeration?
Use it anytime apart from dec/jan
Thanks Robbie, another great video. About 4.15 in the video there are lines visible on the lawn, is that from a granular application by spreader ? If so, what did you apply?
Hi Luke, well spotted. we gave the lawn a cut before we treated it
@@Premier_lawns_official that makes sense, its looking tidy 👍
If using granular humic, is that just tossed about the lawn or still sprayed on?
No it goes on like granual fertiliser
Hi Robbie. I have damp clay soil in an area of the lawn and as well as aerating it, is there something else I can do now to reduce the amount of mushrooms that I get in the lawn.
Mushrooms come and go. Having them is a good sign.

Yes no problem at all
What ratio would you mix in to 5 litres of water of both the seaweed and humic and is it safe to apply this now so late in the season?
@@djmills0016 It's safe to apply any time of year. Always follow the instruction on the packet
@@Premier_lawns_official in the description would that be foliar application or irrigation?
Hi, great video,my question is if I spray my lawn with humid acid or spread granular form, is it safe for the dog or pets afterwards. Cheers.🙂
So Robbie - just to be clear, what is the ratio of HUMIC (at say 3 ounces) to water? The bag (same as yours) says 125 g / litre of water! That seems a lot as the bag is 500g!
The cold pressed seaweed (on another video) it says between 10ml and 50ml per litre.
If you mix 125g of humic powder per litre
That makes a 12% concentrated mix.
Use 50ml of that mix into 6.25l water to treat 100m
Robbie what would be the rate for 50sqm please
Dave everything you need is in the video description. Though the stuff that I'm featuring in this week's video is better 😜
@@Premier_lawns_official brilliant thank you

Do you have biosolids in your area or are they not allowed?

Can applying too much seaweed affect the lawn?
You would be hard-pressed to add to much seaweed to a lawn
If you add too much it attracts rain and eventually mermaids move in.

How do you find the Milwaukee sprayer? I’m looking to get one in the spring
Hi Joe
To Learn more about the Milwaukee sprayer featured in the video uk.milwaukeetool.eu/en-gb/m18-switch-tank-15l-chemical-sprayer/m18-bpfp-cst/?Social&CZcams&Influencer%20Premier%20Lawns%20Chemical%20Sprayer
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks, I’ll check it out. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Premier_lawns_official sorry Robbie, when I said “how do you find it” I mean do you like it? Would it be a good addition for my small lawn care business? Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@joetyrer575 we love them. The footprint is smaller. Space is an issue where I store my gear.
The batteries last for ages.
Little bit heavier than a normal sprayer, we just put a little less water in.
@@Premier_lawns_official awesome! That’s just what I wanted to hear. Looks like I’ll be making a purchase in the spring! Keep up the good work with your videos, really enjoy watching them and picked up a few great tips too!! 👍🏻👍🏻
When can I use humic acid?
Use it anytime 👍
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks, and when would you advise the first cut this year??
@@nickrobinson3937 Hi Nick, safe to cut the grass anytime really as long as ground conditions allow - no frost or to soggy
How much to cover 200m2
I'm not sure this is an old one
Thank you, l run a garden service "Tidy Gardens", so l may look at that sprayer.
We have a couple of them they are great
What about ya! Great video as usual, missing the hand over the camera though.
Mike that many folks had been complaining about it...
@@Premier_lawns_official that was your signature move along with what about ya! 👍🏿
@@mikekilby9785 it will probably reappear like a bad smell ;)
Sorry Robbie. I forgot to ask. Since you have been applying the humic what have been your observations over time? I’m curious to see what has struck you as significant. Appreciate it!
Humic is only a small part of the puzzle...
Secret sauce, skip to 2:48, a big yellow box and some laboratory equipment...
😀👍
😊👍
Morning Pete 😁👍
Was that tree in blossom?!
What part was that
@@Premier_lawns_official @5:04
Hi you say 129g of humic to 1 litre. Then you say 50ml to 6.25 litres. Are you saying mix 125g in 1 litre then just use 50ml in 6 litres?
Have a read at the video description

Robbie, hope you’re well.
I bought the 500g bag, on the bag it says application is 129g/litre.
So I put the full bag in just over four litres of water.
I’m leaving it to settle overnight, but looking back at your video, it looks like you only use a handful of the product.
So is the labelling wrong? Or not ideal for a sprayer at that application rate?
@@Bassbaby838 thats the first bit, you now have 12% concentrate of humic acid
Add Add 50ml humic acid (from that mix) into approx and 125ml seaweed to 6.25L of water this will give you enough to treat 100m2
Premier Lawns Robbie. That makes much more sense now!
Thanks for always replying to us all, appreciate it’s hard work, but very appreciated! One last question.
As I’ve mixed up the full bag now, (idiot!), will it keep, or should I try and use it during the next few weeks?
Not ideal I know.
@@Bassbaby838 it will be fine, just give it a good shake any time your going to use it.
@@Bassbaby838 I probably didn't explain it that well haha
Why the face protection, you know it’s not corrosive type of acid yea?
Or is it a covid thing going on. 😂😉
And you forgot to mention, that it’ll take 2-3 seasons before you see any changes to the soil structure, using it twice a month (ish)
Here’s my tonic
Multi mite Seaweed concentrate
RAW Humic acid
Pro Kleen Liquid iron
Anvii Root booster
Mix all that together (it’s stable) and check the results a week after 😍
I use that twice a month all year round.
All good points there. We use face protection all the time once mixing products as that's best practise 😀👍
It's a good habit to have.
