Success in our landscapes comes down to one very important aspect, Soil!
A plants ability not only to survive but thrive comes down to moisture, nutrition and environment. In our Colorado Springs lawns we have not been blessed with the best of soils. Our soils tend to be either clay or sand, alkali and low organic matter, thus allowing little moisture and nutrient holding capacity and very poor nutrient uptake.
There is one product that drastically helps correct most of the shortcomings of our native soils. Humates / Humic Acid is one of the answers that we can apply during these rough growing / drought conditions. Here are just a few advantages of Humates / Humic Acid.
- Adding Organic Matter to the Soil
- Increased Root Strength and Nutrient Uptake
- Better Fertilization Retention
- Reduced Water Usage by Holding Moisture in the Soil
- Increased Thatch Breakdown
- Increased Seed Germination
- Breaking up of Tight Clay Soils
- Improves Soil Structure, Clay Soils become Looser
- Sandy Soils Show improved Water Retention
- Improves Soil PH Reduces Acidity
- No Increased Frequency of Mowing
- Makes your Plant Less Susceptible to Stress
