Probably 80% of what I enjoy watching on YouTube is garden related. I'm always looking to learn something new. I have a handful of my favorites I watch pretty regularly. A few because they live close, or in a climate similar to mine. Some it's because Of the credentials or scientific background. Some because they amuse me.
This year I'm growing a lot more flowers, in a lot of different containers. (and a bunch of unfortunate flowers waiting for a pot, or some container.
One of the YouTubers suggested a product called Rev. It's organic, and she swears by it. For some reason I jumped in with both feet, even though it was more expensive than I normally would have spent. I was so excited to give my potted plants a much needed boost.
The day it came I opened it up and read ingredients, and it's mostly humic acid. It's OMRI certified.
Then of course I had to look into it. Another YouTuber who is a soil specialist was saying it can't be found in nature, and basically processed the same way chemical fertilizer is made. This person is quite flexible and uses both organic, and chemical fertilizer. She said no way would she use it!
I decided to return it. It's going to cost me 15.00 to return it. I contacted the company I told them I Didn't open the bottle, and have the box and packing materials. Also I bought it from Amazon and it said returnable. It didn't say anything about a change. They literally told me nothing in life is free.
This is definitely a stupid mistake. Before I throw $15+ and my time to return this product I wanted to know what the smart Permies people think.
What do you know about liquid humic acid? Would you use it, or return it.
Thanks
