   Has anyone ever used Humates on their pumkins? Humates are supposed to
be
good on gardens and lawns. I've put them on my grass before and I did have
a
noticeable difference in that the treated lawn greened up faster. I put it
on
my grass because it is supposed to help decompose the grass thatch without
the power raking, although I'm trying to build up the organic matter in my
soil not break it down. Humates are a compressed form of organic material,
containing a large amount of Humic acid and organic matter. They are
apparently mined from underground deposits as they are leftover from
prehistoric plants (I'm not making this up, but it sure does sound
strange.)
If anyone has any thoughts I would like to hear them.

They are in an Organic Fertilizer that I use made by Bradfield Industries.  
I'm very pleased with it.  I use it in combination with Compost, Iron Sulfate
& Green Sand and Cat Chow.
