[@cwilks5592]

[@sj7601]

I had to explain to my fiance why I bought a $400 backpack sprayer xD I'm anxiously waiting for it to be shipped! I've never applied liquids before, only granules so I'll probably put down just water first to get use to it. Then I'll probably put down Hydretain for the first time or try this.

[@frozentundra7446]

Great job with the Humic Acid. This year, I upped my lawn game as well by using HA but I went with the powder concentrate. I bought a 90% HA two-pound bag and adding water yields 128 ounces for $25! Instead of using a water sprayer like yours, I use a two-gallon pump sprayer and apply it as a foliar spray (directly on the grass). I have 2,500 square feet in front and 2,500 square feet in back so economically this is a fantastic process. And of course, I have the best looking lawn on the block.

[@LawnAmateur]

That humic acid is a game changer lol. I love what it does for the lawn. The lawn just looks so vibrant after multiple applications

[@ticky468]

Hey LA, I wanted to tell you, it's been about 2 weeks since I put down Root Ruckus and so far I am VERY impressed. I have tangible results from it. I just ordered another gallon for this months app. I won't go back to RGS or their Humic 12 after using this. Thought you might like to know brother!

[@LawnAmateur]

Thats great, I actually just ordered some liquid kelp to put down soon. I may order the root ruckus next. Thank you for the update 👍👍

[@gregabernathy6249]

Man that is looking great!!! I’ve never used the Humic Acid...may have to give it a go.

[@LawnAmateur]

I didn't either until I started to do my research and seen all the benefits it could do for my lawn so I decided to give it a try. My lawn definitely needed the humic acid. Thanks for your support 👍

[@justordinaryeverydaylife7977]

Nice, nice! A small bit of kelp will help with the roots to get nice and tough. If you use the humic after you mulch cut or micro fertilize it helps to chelate the nutrients. What you will see with stand alone applications of humic is some dark amended soil in a year plus. You will also see an abundance of worm activity, take a shovel to a random spot in the yard next Spring and do one now. Compare👍 you will notice a huge difference just in that time. Be well✌️

[@LawnAmateur]

Sorry for late response. I'm definitely going to try Kelp alot of people been recommending it. Especially if it helps build stronger roots. Thank you and be safe as well 👍👍

[@cubedmack]

Yard looks great! Also, try liquid Kelp for heat stress. Kelp along with Humic Acid really helps with summer heat stress on your lawn. I learned this from Silver Cymbal's channel "kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6XWl3Zqe9CBpbM". This is the brand I use, Liquid Kelp Organic Seaweed Extract 1 Gallon Fertilizer Concentrate from amazon. Oh kelp really stinks but it helps.

[@hightower2321]

Just went through all your videos today! The lawn came out GREAT bro! Also see that you fixed the fence up! Have you thought about painting the fence yet?

[@PauletteOliva]

Thank you for this! Hey I wondered is it safe to then apply fertlizer? I'm I Florida and I have beautiful Zoysia grass - and wanted to put down 25-5-10 - but wanted to wait the appropriate time...(if there is an interval....) would love your advice. Gosh, your lawn is GORGEOUS!

[@vskbna8118]

lookg good👍🏼. Can you apply this when temps are in the 90's?

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes you can because you'll be watering it in and humic acid doesn't burn the lawn.

The lawn looking great brother!!! Keep it up. Do you prefer liquid over granular humic acid? Also I recommend the Gilmour 196 spb as a hose end sprinkler. It’s very customizable. I really enjoy the channel

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you bro, I like the liquid just because its faster to spread down thats my personal preference but granular is definitely fine also. Thanks for your recommendation I'll look into that sprinkler 👍👍

[@bobziadie2988]

Nice video!!! Wondering if it makes a difference to spray humic when there is no rain forecasted for a number of days, as opposed to if there is rain forecasted in the next day or two. Or, does it need to be watered in with a sprinkler if rain is not forecasted for several days? Thanks.

[@LawnAmateur]

I always water it in either with sprinklers or rain it helps to get it down to the roots.

No I haven't tried it yet but I was looking and researching it. Have you tried it before?

[@halbertandrew]

@@LawnAmateur no, I was using RGS by N-ext, but I was looking for something similar that I could just buy by the gallon. RGS is rediculously hyped up all over youtube, I can't stand that I can't buy just a gallon at a time from N-ext. I am going to put it down after this dry spell is over. Right now I am dehydrating my lawn. I got hit BAD with brown patch in some areas due to terrible rains in the spring followed by hot and humid start to summer. My plan is to slightly stress out my lawn, force the roots to go deep. Than POUND it with a solid 2 inches of water and the root ruckus. I really think you have to go super heavy on these bio stimulants|humic products.

[@LawnAmateur]

I see RGS all over but never tried it myself. But you sound like you got a good plan for your lawn. I'm getting alot of well needed rain at moment so I'm loving it. 😁

How does this product compare to the N ext products price wise this product looks way cheaper but any reviews or comparison would be great thanks

Good work man. binged watch your videos once I came across your channel and wow....great progress. In regards to irrigation. What is going to be your approach?

That could let you maintain a good watering schedule in the summer without killing yoursel or stressing the yard. keep the videos coming though. Love seeing your progress

So what does Humic Acid do for a lawn and can you use it on Zoysia Grass

[@LawnAmateur]

It helps the soil retain moisture Helps balance soil PH Improve nutrients uptake Improve microbial growth Helps with stress tolerance Improve seed germination Decrease toxins I could go on about it lol but its definitely good for your overall soil health. Yea it can be used on Zoysia grass.

[@steviem5279]

Love your videos, been binge watching and now I realize that you started that lawn from scratch and look at it now, its just amazing. I will start using humic acid as well and see how much that improves my soil, but here's a question, how often do you apply it? once every two or three weeks during the season? I mentioned this in another video but I saw this video from a guy in Utah who put down humic acid on his lawn, his soil was clay and in that video he dug down a section of his lawn and about 10 inches deep the soil looked great with the clay finally showing up at that 10 inch mark. He said he wasn't sure if it was because of the humic acid and if regular fertilization had anything to do with it but I think the humic must have played a big role in that guys soil improving.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thanks bro. Yea this lawn definitely came a long way lol it was rough at first. Yes you're correct I'm applying the humic acid every 2 to 3 weeks. I'm trying to see if the humic acid could really improve my soil because my soil definitely need it lol. Only time will tell 👍

[@steviem5279]

@@LawnAmateur mine too, any lack of rain the soil gets hard as a rock, especially during the summer and then the grass goes into dormancy. The backyard is the opposite because its low lying and traps the humidity so its feels like its constantly wet in the shady areas which is a pain. Oh with the liquid humic acid you put down, obviously while its wet if you walk on the lawn its going to stain your shoes and whatever it comes into contact with. But, once its dries does it still stain in anyway? Also, just go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a sprinkler for the lawn, this way its easier to water than just watering with the hose. I use an impact sprinker but I also have one of these: www.lowes.com/pd/Melnor-DuraTek-4500-sq-ft-Oscillating-Sled-Lawn-Sprinkler/1000734016 You can adjust how wide it can spread its water, only thing is, the plastic adjusters can becoming brittle and break. I also will go out and buy one of these just to see how it works and how evenly it spreads the water: www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-H2O-6-5000-sq-ft-Rotating-Spike-Lawn-Sprinkler/3678506

Nice lawn. As long as you have sun, TTTF will thrive, so yeah get those trees pruned. Subscribed... I don't know if you made your sprinkler yet, but consider making one using a Hunter spray head and pvc, similar to what this guy made in the video below. You can make one, use a 5 gpm nozzle and do more than half your yard. Or, you can make 2 and run both at the same time. It's cheap to make and flexible (can change out the spray heads). Set them up at 90* and cover that entire yard. Put an inexpensive timer at the valve and you are good to go.
