Twelve questions about what is in it, how to use it, and how it ships.
The product
What it is
Does it actually do anything?
Fair question. Plenty of liquids get called snake oil, and a university review of humic products sold in Australia said the marketing claims outnumber the evidence. We are not going to argue with that from a web page. What we can tell you is what is in it (fulvic acid 8.0%, humic acid 3.0%, labile carbon 3.5%, pH 6.8, typical analysis, indicative), how it is made (water-extracted from volcanic peat, nothing added), and that we are running a side-by-side on our own ground and publishing the photos. Then do your own: one bottle on half the area, nothing on the other half, same water, same feed. That is the only test that matters.
Is it a fertiliser?
No. It carries very little nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium. Keep your feed program. Fulvic Gold is a tonic for the soil, applied on a different day to your fertiliser.
Will it work with my fertiliser and my usual lawn program?
Yes, on different days. The label says it may not be compatible with all garden chemicals, so do not tank-mix. Test a small patch first.
I already use Seasol. Is this the same thing?
No. Seasol is a seaweed extract. Fulvic Gold is a humic and fulvic extract from volcanic peat, with labile carbon for the microbes in the soil. Different source, different job. Plenty of people use both, on different days.
Using it
Rates, safety, storage
How much do I need?
Lawn: one litre does 450 m² once a month, about A$5.56 per 100 m². Garden: 20 mL in a 10 L watering can does 10 m², one bottle is 50 cans. The Season Pack is three bottles for A$75, delivered free: three months for a standard lawn. If you want it on repeat, the subscription sends three bottles every month for A$60, delivered free, and you can cancel any time.
Is it safe around kids and the dog once it is watered in?
Follow the label. Wear gloves when you handle the concentrate, keep it away from eyes and skin, and do not swallow it. Water it in and keep kids and pets off the area until it has dried. Store the bottle out of reach, like any garden product.
Can I use it on vegetables I am going to eat?
It is a soil conditioner for garden use, including vegetable beds. Apply it to the soil, not the leaves you are about to pick, and wash produce as you always would.
Will it stain pavers or the driveway?
The concentrate is dark. Diluted and watered in it is a weak tea colour. Keep the concentrate and the spray off porous pavers and concrete, hose off any overspray straight away, and test a small spot first.
How long does a bottle keep?
Store it capped in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Shake before each use. Do not store the diluted mix.
