Medina® HuMate liquid humus is like concentrated compost in a bottle. Humic acid is a basic product for natural gardening enthusiasts who want to build the quality and structure of the soil without chemical fertilizers. Our humus comes from deep below the ground’s surface, where plant matter has been "composted" for hundreds or thousands of years. HuMate liquid humus helps the natural plant-to soil relationships, increases fertilizer uptake, and chelates trace minerals. It is a key product for high-production soils, and contains most of the biological compounds synthesized by plants and organisms. It also supplies essential humic material for improved soil structure formation. Benefits include: Improves moisture retention Enhances nitrogen and nutrient release Provides micro and macro nutrients Improves soil physical properties Holds exchangeable plant nutrients
