Farmer’s Secret Soil Revitalizer (32oz) - Organic (OMRI Listed) Dirt Health Booster - Liquid Compost Soil Amendment - Activated Humic Acid

I have been growing almost all of our veggies and herbs indoors in our basement for over 10 years. Some of these plants, generally grown as annuals outdoors, can continue to grow and produce for over 5 years or more indoors. Even though I provide the appropriate fertilizers for my plants, the health of the soils is essential for these nutrients to be utilized. Since the older plants are in the same pot with the same soil for quite a few years, I decided to try this soil revitalizer on some of my older plants.Humic acid works in a similar way to compost, but compost takes time to break down to provide its benefits and can rob your plants nutrients during decomposition. . In addition, compost can change the PH of your soil. Whereas, humic acid is PH neutral. Humic acid can be thought of as a decomposed compost that will help plants to uptake minerals in the soil. Even if your soil has over-accumulated certain minerals, humic acid will help them grow well regardless. Another advantage of using humic acid rather than compost is that it can be added to water to provide immediate benefits. This can be helpful for established plants, such as mine, when trying to add compost would be almost impossible and benefits would be negligible.Although this soil revitalizer has been beneficial to my older plants, I did notice the ingredients of the product which state 2% humic acid and 98% water. It seems that this product would be much less expensive to use if the ratio of humic acid was increased with less water. If someone wanted to improve the soil on 5 acres of land, according to the label, 43 gallons of this product would be required for one application. This would be a cost, at current pricing, of $1719.57. Granted, most of us don't want to condition 5 acres of soil, but increasing the percentage of humic acid to the percentage of water would greatly decrease the cost of using this product.As it is, the recommend dose for watering is 2 ounces per gallon of water. So, the 8 ounce bottle would be good for 4 gallons of water. Since some of my larger pots require 4 gallons of water for every watering, this product is very expensive for me to use.Even for my application for use on older plants grown indoors, use of this product can be costly when considering the costs of fertilizers that are still required.I hope this review was helpful for you.

Very good soil amendment. Helped with fruiting on my vegetables and some blueberry bushes. It has also helped my roses. I am going to experiment with soaking my compost pile with it also. Will buy again.

We recently added 100 yards of soil to our yard and I applied just this revitalizer. After a couple of weeks we're seeing good results. The grass has grown fast to cover the bare soil and is vibrant, healthy green. We're in Zone 10, in the summer you can literally watch the grass grow.. Just ordered their fruit tree booster fertilizer.

It came on time, intact and I was ready to use it. I can’t tell if it works in just a couple days.

This is exactly what I ordered and I have applied it on my raised garden and going to apply it on my flower garden

Takes a bit 2 weeks then totally worth the $ kills what ever it touches 100% be careful with this product

Just applied the Farmer’s Secret Soil Revitalizer a few days ago. The product was easy to use, and I like that it's geared toward improving overall soil health. The instructions were clear, and it mixed well into my watering routine. I haven’t seen a dramatic change just yet, but that’s to be expected—soil improvement takes time. I’ll need about another week to really see how my plants respond before I can give a full verdict. So far, I’m hopeful and will update this review if the results show strong growth or noticeable improvement. Stay tuned!

I used to much not knowing how much to put in hanging Fuchias and killed all 6. Had to start over. Amount I used turned pots into mud balls.Could use a clear amount for different size pots.
