Product Description

HumiChar

What is HumiChar?

HumiChar is an organic, carbon-based soil amendment containing 50% high-quality humic acid and 50% granulated biochar. This combination of material provides the benefit of the quickly available humic acid, and the long-term soil building qualities of the biochar that will last for decades. Both humic and biochar add carbon into the soil and increase microbial activity, resulting in greater nutrient holding in the soil and better processing in the plant.

humichar soil

Why Humic and Biochar

Biochar's primary benefits are to the soil. It lasts decades, working to build the soil profile over time. Humic acid's primary benefits are to the way soil delivers nutrients to the plant. This can be noticed more quickly but does not have as long lasting affect as biochar. HumiChar combines the properties of each material that benefits the soil and the plant, both immediately and over time.

The humic acid and biochar in HumiChar is beneficial to all soil types. Both of these organic materials will not cause harm from over application like a fertilizer. They can be applied at any time, in any amount and as often as desired.

Reach Roots Faster

HumiChar features Dispersible Granule (DG) Technology, which allows particles to disperse when watered. The DG Technology helps the humic acid, and especially the biochar, move past the thatch layer of your lawn or the mulch in your garden bed, and into the soil without any raking, digging, or tilling. Other products with biochar have chunks of organic material that are dusty and messy. These products have to be worked into the soil to reach the root zone and be effective.

Where to Use HumiChar

HumiChar

HumiChar

HumiChar

Established Lawns

Apply HumiChar anytime during the growing season to lawns. The general rate of application is 5 – 10 pounds per 1000 square feet of turf / lawn. Apply more heavily if desired.

New Lawns and Sod Installations

Grass seed planting and sod Installations are a great opportunity to get HumiChar deep into the soil quickly. After tilling HumiChar into the soil, proceed with planting and sod installation as normal.

Gardens and Landscaping Beds

Apply HumiChar around the plants or work into the soil using roughly 1/2 cup of material per plant base area. Apply more heavily if desired.

Customers say

Customers like the performance, ease of spreading, quality and grass of the soil. For example, they mention it works well, it's easy to apply via spreader and it'll improve the soil's health. That said, they're happy with the color, dissolved quality, and growth rate. That being said, opinions are mixed on the value.

Step 1 for a lush lawn
This is long, BUT READ THIS before wasting your money on other products.I've been attempting to fix my turf since 2021, when I moved into my new home. I initially hired a lawn service, but the success was short-lived.Last fall, I took matters into my own hands by dethatching, scarifying, and overseeding. After minimal success with germination (I took all the steps to protect the seeds and keep them moist), my lawn came up thin and light green in the spring. Despite heavy rains, my soil was still hard as a rock. My soil pH was high, so I bought Mag-I-Cal to lower the pH. I also bought Love Your Soil to loosen the hard clay. Those also had short-lived success. I knew my soil was the problem. The pH came down slightly, but the soil remained compact. I realized that years of fertilizer and over-irrigation by the previous owners had probably built a carbon deficiency and sodium chloride concentration. I read up on this product. It's everything you need to condition your soil on a more permanent basis. The charred component makes space for healthy microbes and the humic component feeds the microbes.I used fungicide to treat lawn disease this season, but as this product layers into the soil and improves water retention at greater depths with healthier root structures, I've had fewer indications of disease. I also have fewer urine burn spots from my dogs. The soil pH has neutralized as the soil retains more rain water (which is slightly acidic in my area).I treat my lawn with this every 2-3 weeks at a light/moderate rate with plans to continue to do so as it moves deeper into the soil.Start with your soil. Treat it heavily for 1 season before scaling back to maintenance applications. Cut your grass high and help the roots grow deep. Healthy turd is resilient and needs less care. I'll swear by this product and won't switch to Humic DG or PGF Complete for humic content until my soil is fully amended.This product is worth the money.
