Professional-Grade Soil Amendment

DG Technology

Humic DG is made with our patented Dispersing Granule (DG) Technology. When this product comes into contact with water, each granule breaks down into thousands of micro-particles, helping move the product down into the soil profile, past the thatch layer of your lawn or the mulch in your garden bed, and into the soil without any raking, digging, or tilling.

Highly Concentrated Humic

Humic DG contains 70% readily-available humic acid, fulvic acid and humin. This is highly concentrated compared to other humic acid products on the market that, on average, have 12% humic acid. In sandy soils, humic acid increases water holding capacity and decreases evaporation. In clay and other compact soils, it enables deeper water and root penetration.

When to Apply Humic DG

Humic DG can be applied on its own or used in conjunction with other granular applications.

Humic DG has a cumulative response in turf - reapply every 3-4 weeks for best results.

Turf

Apply 1-4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

Gardens & Flower Beds

Apply 1-2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

Trees & Shrubs

Apply 2-8 oz. as a band around the base of each tree or shrub. Larger trees and shrubs should use the higher rate.

Potting Soils

Mix in 2-10 lbs. per cubic yard of potting mix.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Check The Forecast

Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.

Mow First

Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.

Clean Up

Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.

Water Deep

Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

Q&A

Can you ship to South Carolina?: We ship to physical addresses (sorry no PO Boxes) within the continental U.S. (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico). Due to state regulatory restrictions, certain products are not available for sale in all states. State sales restrictions will be noted on the product’s page.
What temperature does the soil have to be before I can apply my humid DG? I live in Northern Minnesota.: Humic DG is best applied when soil temperatures have warmed up to 55 degrees Fahrenheit
What temperature does the soil have to be before I can apply my humid DG? I live in Northern Minnesota.: You will want to apply Humic DG during the growing season, once the lawn is active.
What's the difference in Humichar and Humic DG?: HumiChar contains both Humic DG and BioChar DG.
I live in the woods so I get a lot of leaves which are mulched in the fall and add to the acidity of my soil. Should I still apply lime this spring or can I substitute Humic DG?: Humic DG does not adjust soil pH while NutraLime does. If your goal is to neutralize acidic soil, you should apply NutraLime.
