When to Apply Soil Saver

Soil Saver is safe for use on all soil and grass types and can be applied as frequently as needed without the risk of burning or damaging your lawn. Apply Soil Saver on its own or at the same time as any other product.

Soil Saver has a cumulative effect in the soil. Multiple applications are required for best results. How often to apply depends on your desired results. Soil Saver can be applied as often as monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Poor soils will require more frequent applications.

For Established Lawns

Apply 6 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

For New Lawn or Sod Installation

Apply 6 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft., till into the soil, then proceed with grass seed planting or sod installation as normal.

For Gardens and Flower Beds

Apply 2-4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. anytime during the growing season.

For Trees and Shrubs

Apply 1/2 - 2 cups as a band around the base of each tree or shrub. Larger trees and shrubs should use the higher rate.

For Potting Soils

Mix in 5 - 15 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.

Don't Bag It

Leave lawn clippings for at least one mowing to avoid particle pick-up.

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.

This my first time buying

"This my first time buying this pet friendly product. I like that I don't have to water in as much till I let our dog into the back yard. With the hard red clay I our area this helped break up the clay and help the grass roots go deeper."

My experience with law box

"So far so good. I had a plant that I pretty much thought it was dead but now it’s coming back to life. To be fair, I added one other ingredient to the soil. Now I just wish it would stretch out more and grow."

— Hendrick T. (1/5)

Q&A

Any advantage of using soil saver vs Dirt Booster?? I have been using Dirt Booster religiously for years, why should I switch?? thanx JMH: Soil Saver is an organic soil amendment is designed to improve soil structure and drought tolerance while encouraging deeper root growth and enhancing nutrient uptake. Soil Saver delivers gypsum, humic acid, calcium and sulfur to your soil, and enhances soil health by stimulating the soil microbials.Dirt Booster is an all-natural compost starter and soil amendment contains microbials, biochar, humic acid, corn distillates and molasses. Full of nutrients and good soil microbes, using Dirt Booster‚Ñ¢ Plus will increase soil fertility, organic matter, and nutrient holding capability.
If you use a product for insects and one of your fertilizers per my soil test when should I use a soil amendment?: Anytime! Soil amendments can be applied in conjunction with any other lawn care product. It can be beneficial to apply at the same time as a fertilizer.
