I've heard alot of different youtubers in the lawn care community who use this, but never a breakdown of why it's so good. Thanks for the in depth review!
Just wanted to share with everyone the spreader settings for a "Scotts Pro Edgeguard" spreader that i got from this company of the Humic DG.
Low setting is 4/Medium setting is 4.5/High is 5. The width of coverage for this model is 5'. Hopefully this helps some people with other model spreaders as well!
Mine just arrived! Been waiting to hear about this video! Alright!!! I've been using my 'old school' Scott's drop spreader, but have the elite in the box, ready to assemble this weekend. I figure either spreader would get the humic DG down. Just ordered 4 more bags to feed this lawn before winter! Thanks for all your knowledge, Doc! You're the best!
Thank you for doing the research and heavy lifting for the rest of us.
I recently found your channel and I'm hooked 😁.
I ended up purchasing both the Innova and the Humic DG. They arrived today and I couldn't wait to apply them. I applied them at 5 lbs/1,000 sq ft. and 7.75 lbs/1,000 sq ft., respectively. The best part is that, as soon as I finished, the rain came to help activate them. Anyway, these 2 products will be mainstays in my lawn program next year - especially, now that I know the rain comes with the purchase 😉.
I live near Chicago and, unfortunately, the lawn season is coming to an end ☹️.
14:27 had me rolling on the floor lmao. Love your videos Doc i have been following your videos even though i have cool season grass. I have been using a lot of the products by The Andersons that you recommend, i am doing a fall lawn renovation and all of your videos are very informative and i am learning a great deal along the way. Please keep uploading my friend!!
Thanks for the tip! Just ordered me a 40 Pound bag, cant wait to put it down!
I decided to give this a try. I got the 40lb bag since it's the better value for me - can get 4 apps ($18/app). I've been spraying humic acid, but have always wanted the granular version, so Doc I'm counting on you on this one.
You have a new subscriber. This is the kind of information I need on this organic stuff - not just get it, but some real discussion on it.
Thanks Doc. Great video. Looking forward to the new organic fertilizer video.
Thanks Doc! It sounds like a promising tried & true easy alternative to the messy Greene County Fert humic spray products. I much prefer granular
Wow, went for a swim for an underwater view to show the product, now that’s dedication!
Thank you. I just picked up some Humic from Anderson’s on Amazon.
Great video! I'm happy to use your link to purchase the product. Most people these days understand the affiliate process. Just say "hey itll really help support the channel if you use my link to buy the product!"
I think this is the channel for me. You live in Georgia. You deal with red clay. You deal with bermuda grass. I've been searching for months on how to help fix my terrible bermuda lawn. Between poor drainage, thatch, fungus, mold, fertz not working, extreme heat, etc etc. this journey has been a nightmare. I'm finally confident that this channel may be able to help.
Just cut the lawn, spread out the humic and it started drizzling!!! So anxious to see how it improves the lawn😁👍
I've used the Humic DG product just one time on my lawn, and I have to say it seems to work well. It has been unusally dry this year where I live and very hot too, but my lawn looks really green especially into late July! I have been using Milo for 12 years now, but I am very interested in the orgainic product you are rolling out, 7-1-2 sounds really great.
Now we know what Tim the Toolman's neighbor looks like.
Man he's sexy.
@@HowTowithDoc Doc, I'm up in Canada. I just ordered 2-20kg bags. For licencing we are a few years out of getting Humichar. What is the difference or what is lacking vs the 2 and what can I do to make up for it? Thx
Awesome news!! Can't wait to get my hands on it. I have spent a lot of time since May trying to get my lawn back to 100% Bermuda. It was very neglected by the previous owner. It is looking great as far as weed control goes now I just need to get the right fert to rocket that those runners!
Been a LONG time waiting
That’s a negative on the skinny dip there Doc 😂😂
Pumped to try this out, ordering 3 bags as we speak!
Thank you for another interesting video, Doc. Appreciate it!
Hi Doc i've subscribed to and love your videos, I also am in GA.
Thanks Doc, I’m going to order some soon. Love your vids. Gerry from Canada.
Nice,' been looking for a spreadable version
this is great... I'm in a new GA subdivion and the dirt is terrible. Been looking for an answer to really fixing the soil! Can this be used in conjunction with my lawn service treatments? If so, should I start now, or wait for the growing season? thanks in advance...
Thanks Doc I’m going to order some right now. I don’t see making a liquid form would be beneficial being that it dissolves so fast once it gets wet.
I'd like to see a before and after picture. Like when a drop spreader is used and some space is missed.
Would you recommend this for a fall appliance temps averaging 40s at this time
Just put my order in !
Just ordered some👍
Cool product.
Those pellets start to break down when wet.
However, the best results were observed when "submerged". What do you think the irrigation equivalence to "submerged" would be?
Hey Doc, Love the video! Will you be putting out an updated Bermuda Calendar Video with all of the new products you have used this year?
Yes...……. next month.
Hey Doc! I live in Southern Ca i been trying to seed my 3000sq ft yard with Majestic Bermuda & its not been coming up. On the Berm grass calendar when would be the best time to start from a DIRT lawn?
Any idea if the larger bag will go back on amazon? I only see the 11lb bag.
I plan on dethatching, cutting short, aerate, fertilizing and seeding my rather huge fescue front lawn in north Georgia. I have terrible soil and bought some Andersons Humic DG. When and at what time during the process should I apply it?
I’m getting some of this Humic Acid
Doc I use the humic dg and the ultramate sg by Anderson...whats nice about the sg is it has potassium in it..,14%. They are both good products but you can't beat the ease to putting down the dg.
Doc, we've got new sod directly on red clay... no option to amend the soil before they put it down- has been down for 4 weeks. Can we use this to help the struggling spots since the nitrogen sounds like it won't burn? Thanks for any tips on new sod!
Any one figure out the spreader settings for a Scotts rotary spreader since the only settings on the bag are for Anderson's spreaders?
Can I apply Scotts Disease Ex and humic/fulvic acid around the same time?
Can I use this if I already laid down Milo? Thank you,
Watering after spraying liquid concentrate ensures that humic reaches roots.
Hey DOC, been following you for a while but, this is my first post. I live in South Louisiana, and have Centipede grass. I want to know if Humic DG will work for that type of lawn.
Started using this in June... I saw a noticeable difference after about 2-3 weeks and I cut back my watering to 1/2” every 5 days from 3-4 days. Roswell, GA
So you are able to use half the water needed before and had a huge green up within a couple weeks! Keep me updated! That's awesome
Hey Doc ! How many times will you be putting the humic acid down this year ? There is a lot of different info about humic acid and how much and when to apply. The bag of soluble powder I bought tells you how much to mix to a gallon of water to make a 12% solution then to mix 1oz of that to a gallon of water to be sprayed on the lawn but never states how big of an area will be covered. I asked and was told that the person who responded likes to use a gallon to cover 5000 sq. ft. (he likes to apply it lightly). But I've seen post that a gallon would cover 1000 sq ft.
Still not sure how many ounces of solution to add to a gallon of water. Many different suggestions out there. Some products say 4 oz to a gallon to cover 1000 sq ft. and apply every couple of weeks, one product says to apply 2-3 times a year at 3-9 oz per 1000 sq ft. Even you said to mix it in water and spray but never mention how much to use in a gallon of water or not.
Have a great Thursday !!
Can this be used on new soil before seeding
Sorry don’t know date of video, just subscribed in sept 2020. What is the name of the 7-1-2 fertilizer.
Doc, please answer. There are youtube videos out there that like to discredit the use of humic acid in the granular form and suggest that their brand Humic12 is the only way to get humic acid to the root level of the soil and that granular and powder humic will only stay on top of the soil. Thoughts?
Am Leonard's is selling the 40lb bags for $69.99 on Amazon vs the the 11lb bag for $31.99. The smaller bag is sold out on Amazon, I guess everybody bought it since you released the video yesterday.
I posted the link. www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
Love Andersons. Toledo company
I love watching your videos, but as I am outside the US none of the products you talk about are available , the same with millorganite and the n-ext products here in Europe we are stuck in the stone age !!!
Hi Doc, been following you since your helpful old footcare video :)
Can this humic DG product be applied throughout winter Bermuda dormancy? Soil tests show that my lawn is completely devoid of organic material, being new sod placed on barren under-soil, and I’d like to get a lot into the ground before spring greenup. Or should I wait? (I’m going to be adding it throughout the growing season, regardless). Thanks in advance!
I would wait until we get closer to spring... it won't GO... anywhere, but it full benefits will be seen then.
Your neighbors are happy
Is that new fert gonna be expensive?
HI Doc and thanks for the great info re Humic DG.
I'm the Los Angeles area, have compacted clay mix soil and in spite of the money we spent, few years ago, on a tall Fescue sod lawn, the Devil and Crabgrass have come back with a vengeance! The "gardeners" out here seems to know next to nothing. Glad I found you on UA-cam and will be checking out your website shortly!
So, do i knock-out the "invaders" first with...? Or do I make the soil/lawn healthy then kill of the unwelcome grasses?
Would really welcome your input on this!
Best regards,
R. Drummond
I'm wondering what would be ideal conditions for application? The bag lists only application rates, and says to follow your Anderson's representative's recommendation. Since it reacts so quickly to moisture, does it have to be applied to a dry lawn or is it ok to apply after a rain? I just purchased some, and it started raining before I got home. I'm excited to use it, but there's been a good 3 hours of steady rain on the lawn. If you shouldn't apply to wet grass, how long after rain should you wait to apply?
Apply any time, no issues. It will all work down.
Hey Doc. What is your thoughts about Lime application to my southern lawn? Solu cal is the product
You only apply if your PH is off.
Doc, have you ever tried the TeraVita SP-90 humic? I bought some off of Amazon. The stuff is super fine powder and is highly soluble. Just curious to learn if you have any feedback specific to this product.
Not saying by name.... but we have tried MANY liquids, powders, and granular. The quality control is great... but the EASE of application for the one we like just beats them all hands down.
can i apply this treatment to my new bermuda sod with this stuff?
Robert Parker
Curious, did you end up putting the humic down on your Bermuda sod? I ask bc I just put some tiffway Bermuda sod in my front yard and want to know if you reaped any benefits from doing so.
Love the input....I live in California an have Bermuda grass?...I’ve added Scott’s green max...An weed An feed...the weed An feed twice....there’s spots on my grass that are a little dry An brown but not dead....what can I apply that would help temps are in the 100s any advice would help....
www.howtowithdoc.com/top-dressing-for-lawns/
Water and top dressing.
Thanks Doc I’ll be going back to the nursery I bought garden soil An steer manure.....I’ll be switching to potting soil an fine sand....should I spray a fertilizer after?
No, most potting soil is pretty rich. Just leave it. You'll see what I mean.
Hey Doc, my question is with hard clay, how does the humic penetrate without a soap or mechanical aeration? I put down my Humic DG app this weekend. One watering with my irrigation system and it was all gone. As is dissolved and disappeared some place??. Please tell me it went into my soil.
The grassy knoll in the video was sold red clay early this spring. Now it is turning into soil finally down to about 2-3 inches. The humic is there. You can't see it.
So looks like you have to water regardless if it’s humid concentrate these granulas
Wife would be like What did You put in My dishes LOL
Hey doc so i've ordered a bag of this humic acid, and the Andersons innova 7-1-2 organic fertilizer. Can I combine the humic acid with a granual fertilizer to help the microbial activity in my lawn then use the super juice as a supplement during the early spring push for my bermuda grass? and on the next fertilizing window can i use the innova 7-1-2 fertilizer? id appreciate the feed back THANKS
Sure... humic can go down at anytime. Andersons and I talked about developing such a product but I told them I was concerned about even distribution of the "mix". I think it's better to apply them on there own but same time is fine.
@@HowTowithDoc thanks a lot doc !!
Doc, Thanks for the video. It sounds great but it’s unclear to me how it relates to a product like Miloganite. Is it a supplement? An Alternative? Etc.
Humic products help build healthy soil over time. It's not a FOOD... for grass. Think of it as adding a bunch of pretty dark topsoil to your lawn. You do that because you want nice SOIL for the plant, not food. Hope that makes sense. Milo is a food.
doc never skips leg day, those are some serious calves.
Hey doc what setting om the Scott's elite should I use for this humic?
I talk about it in one video... can't remember which one. Find the LARGEST pellet in the bag and use that as the size, or just above. Next week I'm doing a spreader video and will show that method.
Thanks Doc I've watched pretty much every video just cant remember a setting for humic for the elite but I'll go back and see if I can find it.
If I had bare dirt that doesn’t seem to want to grow grass seed, would Humic acid treatment get it to grow grass from seed without hauling in loads of top soil?
No... not really. You need to go "deeper" than that. You need to till, rake, seed, then rake again.
can this be mix with milorganite on centipede?
Im looking for more info on this with centipede also.
Why can't i see the links your talking about?
Thanks, we fixed it. www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
So where do I buy the humic you recommend???
www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
So if I use a granular humic acid is that adding material to the soil? My lawn is already high in many spots and I don’t want to make that worse.
Can I use this on my GRASS PLANTS?
Yes
Sold out on Amazon. Any recommendations on where to get it local or some other online vendor?
More coming...… I'm checking with them to see when it shipped.
Doc can you link me to this Humic Acid?
www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
Is there another place to purchase this? The link on your website goes to Amazon but it is currently unavailable. There is also a 40 lbs bag that is also unavailable. Thank you for all of the great videos!
We contacted them and they are shipping more to Amazon for stock.
Thanks for the quick response! Can't wait till it gets in!
Are you using drop or broadcast spreader?
Always broadcast.
@@HowTowithDoc Thank you
By the way. I pump sprayed some liquid iron on my lawn 2 days ago and it looks like it's getting darker green but there is a spot that I know I sprayed that's still a lighter or lime green. Can I respray that area? If so, how long should I wait?
I would probably not. I would try and figure out what is causing the LIME. Could be a PH issue fyi.
@@HowTowithDoc I will. Thank you very much. Enjoy your videos.
Doc, how does high winds effect this Humic DG before it's watered in? Probably best to spread it and water it in right? Heavy rains might wash it down the street.
It doesn't... the particles are SO FINE they anchor in the soil ASAP. It's pretty amazing.
Where's the link to the product?
www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
Product currently unavailable. 😫
Yep... sold out. They are adding more soon.
How To with Doc
Picked some up for the fall season. Thanks.
can you toss this in your gardens
Yes, humic has been used around the world for soil improvement in crops with amazing results. Google humic acid and sugar cane.
@@HowTowithDoc thank you for responding and thank you for all your hard and vids brother 🙏
Good idea on the video! I have a product very similar and using in the cannabus industry to produce massive volumes and quality in comparisons to the other methods. My problem is the dumbasses that think that they know it all. Shoot me a response. I got lots of info for ya!!
The link only goes to an 11 pound bag, wanting 40 pound bags...where are the 40 pound bags?
www.howtowithdoc.com/docs-product-links/improve-lawn-soil/
Amazons 11lb bag is sold out, it's your fault Doc!
I know..... happens a lot. I emailed them and they are adding more ASAP.
Good deal, the smaller 11lb bag was available for purchase 7-31, back on the shelf!!!! Thx!!!
