GS Plant Foods Humic Acid Soil Amendment – Leonardite-Derived Liquid Concentrate for Improved Soil Structure & Nutrient Availability – OMRI Listed for Organic Use – 1 Gallon

I grow most of our veggies and herbs year around under LED lighting. I had been adding compost to my potting soil, but found that compost lowers the PH of the soil as it decomposes for use by the plants. This humic acid is organic, has the same benefits as compost, but does not change the PH of the soil as it does not have to be broken down for use by plants. Humic acid is not a fertilizer per se. It is an effective soil conditioner that should be used with fertilizer to help the plants utilize the nutrient in the soil. The only warning on the bottle is that this product should not be used with fertilizers high in calcium (calcium nitrate) or have a low PH. Before buying this product, I did some research and found this information. The benefits of using liquid humic acid are: 1) It improves the availability of micronutrients in the soil, allowing roots to absorb the more efficiently. 2) It enhances soil texture by promoting better aeration and water retention. 3) It feeds microbes that help plants grow naturally. 4) It works for both indoor and outdoor plants. 5) It can significantly impact plant health, resilience, and productivity. 6) It does not change the PH of the soil. To summarize, liquid humic acid improves the soil, feeds beneficial microbes in the soil, and helps plants to utilize nutrients in the soil. Since the recommended usage of the product is 1/4 to 1/2 cup per gallon of water, the gallon size is much more economical depending on your watering needs. Although I use this humic acid on some of my younger plants, I have found it to be most beneficial on my older plants since many of them are 2-5 years old. I have been adding this product to my watering water once or twice a month and my plants are all doing great. Veggie greens are growing faster, and fruiting veggies such as tomatoes and peppers are getting more and larger fruit. If you are serious about the plants you grow, I recommend trying this humic acid to see an increase in productivity. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Great product. My lawn is so thick and lush from just one application that my lawn mower moves in slow motion from the drag of the grass against the bottom of the grass bag. It is very noticeable. It turns your soil into a super growth medium.

Product seems to be helping out my lawn. Grass not dead so time will tell. It's easy to apply with a Hudson sprayer. Just follow the instructions. I'm on my second application which requires less of a dosage. 1 gallon Product will last more then one season depending on lawn size. My lawn size is about 1500sqft.

One of the best brand and best product 10 stars

I love this stuff ..it really helped my Camelia's and Azrael's alot. I ended up spraying it with a dial lawn sprayer on everything I my shrub beds. I had added humus at planting, but using this helps give everything a boost...I just wish it wasn't so expensive because I'm out!

Humic acid is an excellent additive to your fertilizing program. Our new home is built on dead, hard, compacted, poorly draining "builder subsoil". The lawn, the trees, the roses, the palms, the star jasmines, they were all struggling after being installed. After a great deal of reading, I decided on a program of compost and liquid fertilizers that are natural, easily applied, and that work well together. I eventually ended up on a recipe of humic acid (which helps the plant absorb the nutrients that are already in the soil as well as the fertilizers that are added alongside), fish emulsion, which has a variety of macro nutrients, and liquid kelp, which has a variety of micro-nutrients as well as growth factors. I've sprayed it on my lawn, shrubs, roses, and soil drenched my trees. Less than a year later, the soil where I've been semi-faithfully fertilizing and adding mulch/compost is soft, well-draining, and the plants are extremely happy. My gardener says he has never seen a lawn in Southern CA so lush and "springy thick" (I also have him topdress with compost). GS plant foods has my "nutes" at a decent price, and the products arrive promptly, well packed (e.g. there is a little plastic plug, easily removed, under the cap which helps to prevent leaks.....and humic acid is legendary for its staining abilities!), and CS wrote me to make sure I was happy with my order. I do recommend this company and intend to continue purchasing from them.

I'm a former longterm customer trying the expensive fertilizers, and stumbled upon this after seeing the high ratings (wow - 5 stars is hard to find!). Honestly I was 100% skeptical! After two weeks in a very dry summer, only watering the product in, I was told I had the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. I am not going to lie - this is the best lawn I've had in my entire adult life! I should also mention that I also apply a $12 bag of Milorganite to my front lawn monthly for a deeper green lawn, primarily because it's supposed to help the lawn from becoming brown in the drought period of July/Aug (no irrigation here). I do enjoy a deeper green, which is a rich deep emerald now. I swear this has greatly thickened the turf already (is that even possible?). Before I could see some bare patches where brown thatch and/or thin patches were. I can look across my lawn and not see them - no kidding. I'm sold, and won't be spending another cent on the other brands. Will also skip next months Milorganite and see how much it's even necessary. I LOVE this product. Must try it to believe it! I did not receive compensation or incentives for writing a review, but appreciate your feedback if you've found it helpful in your shopping quest.

Ok, I had been paying lots if money for those 32oz bottles from various companies. I saw this on you tube and figured why not. 1 gal has lasted an entire season. Now I have 9k sqft of TTTF/KBG and I use both a 4 gal back pack sprayer and a hose end sprayer. Both work awesome. Now this stuff won't make your lawn deep green like pictured. The iron does that, but humic/ fulvic conditions the soil and increases the uptake of nutrients. That gives you a healthier cultivar. I typically get good green up in 24 to 48 hrs and I'd like to believe it's partly because I use this product. Great price, great product, great results
