Professional-Grade Soil Amendment

DG Technology

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.

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.

I have a coastal house, I have spent the last year getting my ph and my K right. It is all sand with large amounts of construction sand mixed in. My hope is to give my sod a good start. How much humic can I add: We recommend applying Humic DG at the high rate at least once a month.
How often do I need to apply humichar for best water retention.. thank you: It is best to apply HumiChar the same day you fertilize, or every 30 days during the growing season.
is humichar safe for kids and pets: Yes, HumiChar is 100% organic.
is humichar safe for kids and pets: Yes, HumiChar is 100% organic.
How does the subscribe and save 15% work? I want to subscribe now to get the 15% off but I do not want any products to arrive until Feb 26. Is it possible to subscribe now to lock in the 15% discount and then set the longest available delivery interval (ie 6 months) and then immediately pause or skip the first few deliveries in order to start in Feb 26? Sorry if this sounds confusing...: If you sign up today, you will get the first shipment now. You will not be able to change/pause the very first order.
