Clay soils have the smallest particle size of all soils. Soils with high clay content are prone to becoming dense and compact, so much so that they may resist plant rooting.

Humic Acid has several effects on clay soil. It isolates and removes the salts from the clay particle, re-imparting a negative charge to the face of the particle. It loosens soil and allows the plant roots to penetrate and move deeper. Long-term use of humic acid has been shown to create a less dense, better drained soil capable of significant yield increases.

With regards to Sand Soil.. Although you might be quick to disagree after spending a long a day at the beach and trying to get sand out of various places you don’t want it in 😅. It's rough because it actually has the largest particle size of all soil types.

Sandy soils will drain quickly, which makes them relatively easy to cultivate and work. BUT that same characteristic also means that sandy soils have nearly zero ability to transport water from deeper layers through capillary action (bringing water up into the roots). They will warm up more quickly in spring than clay soils, but are generally low in plant nutrients which are quickly washed out by rain.

One of the great benefits of using humic acid on sandy soils is its ability to slow down water evaporation

Regardless of your soil type, restoring organic material is extremely important to a critical long-term soil health. A large percentage of soils utilized for production agriculture have been heavily over-cropped and much of the original organic matter (humus) significantly reduced. In effect, farmers focused on what they knew would increase yields but gradually resulted in destruction of natural soil humus.

By supplying the soil with sufficient humic acid, you restore the soil humus.

Increasing the humus level in your soil is not only good for the environment but it also pays economic dividends. The amount and frequency of fertilizer inputs is reduced, tillage is reduced and cultivation easier. It is not a short-term fix, but is instead a long-term commitment. There are many methods of returning organic material to the soil but with the high-efficacy of Grand Humus Plus with 92.3% Humic Acid, you restore the original condition of the soil that can produce a much higher yield.
