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.
