Natural Guard Soil Activator

 

Natural Guard Soil Activator with 100% Humates

 

GENERAL BENEFITS OF HUMATES:

• Humate is a natural product and has no chemical additives.

• Humate is an organic compost containing a high concentration of humic acid which is recycled back into the soil.

• Humate holds nutrients in a usable form and releases them to the growing plant as needed. It stretches out the food availability between feedings.

• Humate helps aerate the soil. It assists in preventing formation of large lumps and stratification of the soil.

• Humate activates the decomposition of plowed under crop remains, new compost and grass clippings.

• Humate increases the water-holding capacity of soils. Soil containing humate resists drought more effectively and produces better yields where rainfall or irrigation may otherwise be insufficient. (Yields increase up to 1000% in sandy loam soils and 700% in clay soils.)

• Humate is a supplement to crop rotation, green manures, animal manures and inoculation of the soil with micro-organisms such as those found in Natural Guard's Natural Granular Fertilizer (9-4-4).

• Humate improves the workability of the soil. Heavy clay soils can be worked into satisfactory seed beds and marginal soils into profitable soils. Soils are more crumbly and suitably-sized particles are formed in the aggregate.

• Humate reduces soil erosion by increasing the cohesive forces of very fine soil particle and promotes desirable drainage and water intake.

BENEFITS OF HUMATES ON YOUR LAWN:

• Promotes decomposition of grass clippings and thatch, turning them into valuable soil nutrients

• Improves soil structure (tight soils will become crumblier, sandy soils show improved moisture retention)

• Improves soil life (better residue breakdown and more beneficial earthworm activity)

• Increases availability of soil nutrients, improving plant nutrition

• Enhances seed germination, emergence and survival

• Improves root development

• Improves plant vigor and appearance (visual quality)

• Little or no increased frequency of mowing

• Makes your plants less susceptible to stress
  
      In addition to humates, Soil Activator contains 17 other trace elements for the health of your lawn. It is a 'must' product for anyone with a mulching blade mower.
