Organic Mined Minerals Goal...Soil is not an organism by itself, but it has rich and manifold life in it. The importance of beneficial micro-organisms living in your soil is the goal of sustainable agriculture. The benefits are enormous! The soil works as Mother Nature intended. The soil is able to help create its’ own fertilizer and nutrient factory, and provide food for micro-organisms and plants.
Dollars Locked Up In Your Soil
(Note: Organic Mined Minerals humate based products provide both liquid and dry humic and fulvic acid.)
Reprint taken from Gardening Columnist Wally Richards:
There are many applications that Humate and Fulvic acid can be used for, some of the most interesting include; unlocking chemicals in the soil. (If you have been using fertilizers in your garden for some time you will have a lot of fertilizer locked up in the soil.) Drench the soil with Humate and Fulvic acid and these locked up fertilizers become available to plants. You could have a lot of dollars locked up in your gardens and lawns.
Humate and Fulvic acid will also clean up many undesirable chemicals in the soil and in one trial, contaminated land was transformed into certifiable organic in 12 months. Humate and Fulvic acid is a growth booster for plants, it makes for much bigger root systems, stronger and healthier plants. It is been used with balanced NPK fertilizers to create world record vegetables in America such as 26.7 kg Celery and a 14 kg cauliflower to mention two of many. If you are into growing record breaking vegetables for shows this could be for you. More benefits include; Aids and speeds up germination of seeds. Helps to release locked up fertilizers from past applications especially phosphates. Helps increase availability of chemical fertilizers and organic foods for plants. Helps reduce many common plant disease problems. Cleans up many toxic compounds, chemicals and oil spills in soil. Helps to establish plants in areas where they can’t or struggle to establish.
Stimulates growth of soil microorganisms. Increases root respiration and formation. Increases availability of micro nutrients. Increases permeability of plant membranes, which enhances nutrient uptake. Increases vitamin content of plants. Improves seed germination. Accelerates root development. Stimulates plant enzymes. Contains a number of trace elements such as Si, Mg, S, Mn and more. Increases photosynthesis. Contains silica which strengthens cell walls, helps block disease and regulates cell temperature which increases drought and frost tolerance.
Increase pH buffering properties of soil. Retains and releases water soluble fertilizers for plants when needed. Increases soil aeration. Improves soil structure. Makes soil more friable. Has a capacity to detoxify chemical residues and heavy metals. A powerful, natural chelating agent. Improves taste and shelf-life. Fulvic acid can promote prolonged production, as it tends to delay the aging process. Fulvic acid increases the metabolism of proteins. Used at the rates of 1:50 (20 mils to a liter of water) as a soil drench as required and 1: 100 (10mils to a liter of water) as a foliar spray once or twice a month.
A must for roses, tomatoes and all vegetable and fruit crops. Green keepers are using it for better turf so onto the lawn for better healthier lawns. If you have brown patches on the lawn where dogs have urinated use Humate and Fulvic acid to restore or re-establish grass. Use on your flowering annuals for bigger displays and you will need less plants to fill beds. (with balanced NPK or organic mulches etc.)
Whether you use chemical fertilizers or organic preparations, Humate and Fulvic acid will give you better results and you need to use far less chemical fertilizers and so saving you money. Put it in your weed killers for better results. Can be mixed as a foliage spray with most garden sprays to advantage.
