Live Earth Products' Humate Soil Conditioner - 50 lb Bag

I had light, greenish yellow, thin bladed grass for years on a 7,000 st lawn. Parts of it would dry out very quickly in hot weather, leaving yellow dead dry patched in troubled areas. I watered a lot, too much and started getting necrotic ring spots. I tried many different lawn companies over the years with little improvement except for greener grass initially after the application of a high nitrogen fertilizer they all applied. I started doing this myself to save some money with the same results. It wasn't until I'd used this Live Earth Soil Conditioner that everything changed. I put it on pretty heavy, about 50 lbs. to 1,000 sf after I had the lawn aerated each time. I watered it in with a good organic fertilizer and the lawn slowly got better and better looking. It remained dark green for the duration between applications, with the grass blades looking much more healthy and thicker. Over the summer as I made two more heavy applications, about six weeks apart, the soil profile began to change and the soil had become much richer with the grass definitely thicker, totally deep green and healthy looking. I didn't have the troubled dry patches any more, despite using less water. My necrotic ring spot disappeared eventually too as I was having to use a lot less water. Last summer was the best my lawn has looked since the sod was laid eight years ago. I love this stuff and I'll be doing the same thing next summer.

Works

This stuff is so old it smells like it's just about to turn into oil. Has a tar like odor which means to me it is most definitely ancient. Because it is made of prehistoric plant matter it is organic and it won't burn plants if used as directed. If you recycle soil year after year you need this to put back into soil that which is removed by previous years plant growth. Use dry or as a tea. Good stuff.

Hard pellets that are easy spread into the soil with a spreader. I tilled this stuff into my the clay soil garden bed and watered it in. Then, I added other soil ammendments since this is a new garden bed. The soil doesn't clump together like clay but that is probably because I of the compost manure, peat moss, vermiculite and peat moss I added. I just know this is good stuff to have in your soil.

I have purchased Leonardite soil conditioners from several sources. While all have provided plant support, this brand really boosted growth at a level you can SEE in both bushes and trees. The soil I had to work on was compacted, lacks organic matter, and a Ph of 7.5 which is hard on many plants. Application of this conditioner early in the spring has provided very good results. While we had a slightly mediocre spring as far as moisture, this soil amendment had dramatic results with obvious new growth. I highly recommend this product.
