People involved in agriculture and gardening are familiar with the many benefits of humic acid to all types of soils and plant life. Humic acid is a commercial term used to refer to the combination of humic and fulvic acid contents that are found in naturally occurring decomposed plant and animal residues. It is considered an organic soil conditioner.

Applying humic acid to one’s garden has many advantages:

~ it is effective at improving the quality of all types of soils, especially clay and sandy soils and organically deficient soils
~ it breaks up these soils allowing for greater water and root penetration
~ in sandy soils, humic acid adds vital organic material back into the soil, which allows for improved water retention and deeper root development
~ it has the ability to unlock nutrients in the soil that would otherwise be unavailable to the plant
~ it stimulates the beneficial activities of naturally occurring soil microbes
