Farmer’s Secret Soil Revitalizer (8oz) - Organic (OMRI Listed) Dirt Health Booster - Liquid Compost Soil Amendment - Activated Humic Acid

I love to be in the yard growing all types of plants, bushes, trees, veggies and fruits. We have a double blooming jasmine plant that gets really bad sun burn if the temps were over 95 degrees. We just could not figure out why this happened every year. So, I started looking into problems that can arise from soil. Our soil is mostly clay and if you do no amend the soil prior to planting, plants can be slow to grow or even die. I remembers that there are soil activators that you can use to naturally break up salts from watering and add beneficial microbes to break down soil so that plants can thrive. I used to use a powder form. But came across this liquid. I decided to try the small bottle first to make sure it worked. We watered the jasmine plant based on the instructions. The first month, the jasmine plant started growing and made it through 105 degree day without burning. Once we got to 110+, we had to use a shade cloth but it is still growing and blooming. That is a significant change. I tried on a bird of paradise that always grew leggy and did not look healthy. Again, within a month the size of the plant was double and it has a lot more leaves. If you are like me and trying to find easier ways to make you plants thrive, then this is one great way to do so. And you do not have to use a lot. I add a capful to two gallons of water and apply to the base of the plant along with homemade compost. I didn't notice a smell. It is summer time and you do not want to over apply any type of amendment at full strength as it can burn the roots. I have continued to apply the liquid to many of my plants. And I purchased the larger bottle so that I have enough to water all my plants. I truly have seen the value in purchasing this product. It really does work great. If you are looking for an easy way to enrich your soil without having to buy a ton of products then I highly recommend this liquid. A little goes a long way.

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.

We moved to a property with terrible soil. The previous owners had done zero landscaping. Follow the directions and be amazed. I also use Soil Revitalizer for deck railing planters and window boxes that have perennials. Northeast summers tend to become hot and dry around August. I treat the raised beds mid-and late July and it helps plants survive to harsher conditions. My friend had a massive rubber tree that was going to be a nightmare to repot so we treated the soil with the revitalizer and the plant is happy again. Worth every penny and it's now a staple in my arsenal of gardening products. It truly revitalizes the soil.

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

If, like me, you love to garden, but know that your local water supply may be iffy--use this. My corn is tasseling, my watermelon is meloning and my blueberries, peppers and cucumbers are all doing their thing. While I use fertilizers (organic) in an attempt to keep things balanced, this stuff helps your plants absorb nutrients even when you can't keep your PH strictly in line.

Really does make a difference. Saw a few of my vegetable plants not thriving so I added the correct amount and two days later it looked so much better, four weeks later I added more. This product is helping my garden thrive.

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!

The longer I use this the better my soil becomes...I see it as my plants are thriving. Give this a try!
