Default Humic Acid?

I am after the instant acid / base reaction to neutralizer
the base in the soil. And Humic acid is not toxic
to plants and worms.


it is such a weak acid you are not getting
that much effect.

you would be much better off using sulfur, and
if you are digging it in and watering it well a
few weeks before planting it won't hurt plants.

after planting you can mix small amounts into
the top or sprinkle it on and it also won't hurt
plants.


Then digging stuff under should be more effective.


that's always going to help as long as the soil
community is there and some moisture to digest
things.
