HumiChar is an organic, carbon-based soil amendment
Contains 30% high-quality humic acid and 43% granulated biochar
Provides the benefit of quickly-available humic acid and the long-term soil building qualities of the biochar that lasts for decades
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. Unlike HumiChar, these products have to be worked into the soil to reach the root zone and be effective.
When to Apply HumiChar
HumiChar can be applied on its own or used in conjunction with other granular applications.
HumiChar 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.
