Is it possible to put out too much humate?

Just wondering...

I don't think so. It is like dirt. I mix mine with molasses and cornmeal so I can spread it with a spreader. I mix each ingredient 33% I have fertilized my front yard 2 times this year. I want the grass to spread real fast and be real thick.

If you're putting it on turf you should use nor more than 800 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Otherwise you'll smother the grass.

Thanks David. I'll be sure not to reach the point of 800 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Maybe I'll top out at 700 pounds. That's good to know.

In all seriousness, I was worried because I put the humate out heavier than the directions on the bag.

On Friday, I used a spreader to do this. And then Sunday the heavens opened. So my neighbors down slope from me should have a gorgeous lawn this summer!
