I’ve always had a good looking yard. I always just threw down high nitrogen ferts and my grass looked lush all the time. When those ferts wore off though…. the grass thinned out and died. This year I took soil samples and am trying to rectify my soil by watching these vids. My soil had a high PH of 8.9 so I put down elemental sulphur and citric acid 3 weeks ago. My nitrogen was also extremely low so I threw down a high nitrogen quick release fert as well as an organic slow release fert equal to Milorganite (a Canadian equivalent). 3 days ago I put on a heavy dose of Andersons Humic and then we got rain. That humic is what really helped green up my lawn. It also seemed to equalize the growth rate of the lawn. It seems to all be growing at the same rate now… which it never did before. My phosphorus was also very low…. so I added a high phosphorus fert 0-45-0. I am anxious to see how the yard handles through our snowy winter and take another soil sample next spring to compare results.

Thought that sprayer was nice. Bought it. Every hose was not tight. Leaks everywhere. Even the swich for the hand sprayer valve screw was loose and leaking at the switch spraying at me. Not one hose was tight. They used plastic clamps everywhere. Replacing with metal clamps. They use a led acid battery which means you should not run the battery more that 50% (I've even heard no less than 80%) as lead ones are not made to do that depleted. No charge level inicator to help with that (will have to install one) Charging system needs to be wired so you are not wearing out the on/off switch cable/port by un plugging it to charge with the same connector you have to have plugged in to torn it on/off via switch.They put the on/off sticker upside down for the power switch, so off is on and on is off. I will need to wire a better charge port in. After the led battery dies i will replace/build a lithium pack. Prob just use a drill battery to make it simple to charge and go. I cant say its worth 800 bucks. 2k on Amazon direct from the vendor. Physical aspects built well with exception of the hose clamps. Electrical needs work. I'll 3d print a battery mount/plug an be in business. Prob get an extra 1/3 runtime with a 9ah battery pack, plus stronger pump action with a better/consist power source and easy to keep going with an easy battery swap. Its needs a few revisions in my opinion. Hope that helps whoever is interested in the sprayer.
@SilverCymbal5 жыл бұрын
That's disappointing to hear I had a couple of loose clamps myself. I also added an extra strainer outside the machine so if there is a clog I don't need to deal with it inside the sprayer.

Liquid concentrate or water solubles are cheaper in one way and very expensive in another.

If you dissolve Humic DG in water it comes to $2.70/lb of H

Great question, peat moss is not nearly as decomposed as the elements in humic acid which is much more than just a single element, it is a collection of things that make it up. The other interesting this is that Humic acids are not fully understood as to why they do what they do. Parts of it are but there are still many questions about it. What we do know is that it does work and benefits the lawn by enhancing soil structure and making other additives more available. Peat adds organics to the soil and is beneficial but not in the same way as Humic acid. I hope that was helpful and thank you for watching.

I’m in PA outside Philadelphia, where can I purchase the concentrated humic acid?
@SilverCymbal4 жыл бұрын
You can now get a cheaper version of it available here: amzn.to/2CgpTsn or another option is the Anderrsons Granular which is very easy to put down. I use this one more often now: amzn.to/2BMed0C

I have new sod, when could I apply this ?

Yes definitely.

Have you used granular Humic Acid? Seems like it might be easier to apply.
@SilverCymbal5 жыл бұрын
I haven't yet but I do plan to give it a shot this spring as well. Ido like this Andersons formulation since it so concentrated I am able to keep a lot more on hand without much space.

@SilverCymbal5 жыл бұрын
With the included nozzle: F50136 | Green Broadcast Nozzle walking at 1.5mph it will spray 1,452 sqft per minute by the rated specifications. This works out to .91 per minute. Everything is adjustable. Hope that helps and thank you for watching.

How often to put humic acid on the lawn ?
@SilverCymbal5 жыл бұрын
My soil is not rich and has needed a lot so I like to apply it 2-3x per year. Even 1x a year gives a good benefit.

What brand of humid acid you used ?
@SilverCymbal5 жыл бұрын
The one I used in this video is made by the Andersons Humic SG (Soluble Granule). Other will work just as well. If you are south or mid western US the andersons is a very common brand. But even here in the Northeast it can be ordered online through a dfew companies.

Definitely, it's built like a tank and very simple to repair too. I wish they had a version that was $200 though!

@@SilverCymbal yes I agree, I'm a bit shocked you didn't get an atv sprayer for your ride on mower. It would be so much faster and your back would thank you. Check out, NorthStar ATV Broadcast and Spot Sprayer with 2-Nozzle Boom- 16-Gallon Capacity, 2.2 GPM, 12 Volts it costs about $210.00 and has a spray wand too. It puts out 2.2 gpm.

Do you irrigate after applying the product? Another great source for Humic is Kelp4less. www.kelp4less.com/shop/humic-acid/

Minimal to zero benefits to humic acid in turf. Nutrients are more available or less available depending on your ph, I’ve never seen any proof that humic acid affects nutrient uptake. Humic is not worth the $ period. If you want to spend your money on this more power to you but it is not worth it for me and it really shouldn’t be for most people, especially people on a budget.

This model comes in to versions one is $800 the other is $1100. Not cheap but if you build your own its over $1000 and this is factory built and engineered. Not for everyone but it may fit certain situations or commercial use

This product is not available and the benefit now is there is a newer one for much less cost but works just as well. You can see it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJx2gc2DntrDf58.html
