Vince,
We are fortunate to have deep glacial till in our area. I use it in fall and
spring to break down the few clay spots I have. Humate is not a fertilizer,
but an organic carbon. You can use it as Tom Privitetara said for a foliar
feed. I would till in this spring. I would then have an autumn soil test
done for next year. I guess my humble opinion is.....what do you want out of
it?
As a soil conditioner, I stand by the product.
Good luck on a big one!
Steve Haberman

Thanks Steve. So, is it too strong to apply during the growing season? And
do
you just use it once in the spring and once in the fall?
