Product Description

Humate / Humic Acid Granules

A natural, organic way to boost your soil and plant health. *For agricultural use only

Made from Leonardite, a 70-million-year-old natural organic compound, these granules deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients, trace elements, and vitamins straight into your soil. They help plants grow stronger roots, improve soil structure, and enhance nutrient availability, perfect for gardeners, farmers, and landscapers who want healthier plants and higher yields. Safe to use near children and animals, Humic Acid Granules are an easy, organic solution to reviving tired or nutrient-poor soils.

Why Choose Humate / Humic Acid Granules?

  • Stabilises Nitrogen – Reduces leaching and volatilisation of urea and other nitrogen sources
  • Detoxifies Pollutants – Binds herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, and other soil contaminants
  • Supports Root Growth – Encourages strong, healthy root systems for better nutrient uptake
  • Improves Soil Structure – Enhances moisture retention, aeration, and nutrient accessibility
  • Feeds Beneficial Microbes – Stimulates soil microbial activity while reducing harmful organisms
  • Increases Crop Yield – Promotes cell elongation and stronger, more resilient plants
  • Buffers Soil pH – Maintains optimal growing conditions across soil types

 

Who It’s For & How to Use It: 

Lawns (Buffalo, Couch, Kikuyu & More)

  • Strengthens turf roots and improves nutrient absorption
  • Increases drought resistance and resilience after mowing or aeration
  • Enhances overall lawn greening and health

Gardens (Veggies, Flowers, Trees, Pots)

  • Unlocks “locked-up” nutrients in garden beds and potting mixes
  • Stimulates root growth for seedlings, vegetables, and fruiting plants
  • Buffers soil pH and improves water retention in garden soils

Farms & Larger Properties

  • Ideal for pre-planting, side dressing, fertigation, and water-run applications
  • Enhances fertiliser efficiency by chelating nutrients and reducing leaching
  • Detoxifies soils previously exposed to chemicals and improves long-term fertility
  • Suitable for all soil types, trees, vines, and vegetable crops

Use Humate / Humic Acid Granules in soils low in organic carbon, where nutrients are “locked-up,” or to support root development, transplant success, and plant immunity. They are ideal for enhancing fertiliser efficiency and can be applied to all soil types and crops year-round.

Popular Questions

What are humic acid granules?

Humic acid granules are a concentrated organic soil conditioner derived from natural leonardite. They improve soil structure, increase nutrient retention, and stimulate microbial activity.

What are the benefits of using humate in the garden?

Humate enhances nutrient availability, boosts root growth, improves soil aeration, and increases water-holding capacity. It's ideal for improving sandy, clay, or compacted soils.

Is this product certified organic?

Yes. Our Humic Acid Granules are certified organic and safe for use in all gardens, including organic food production, native landscapes, and eco-conscious lawn care.

What types of soils benefit most from humic acid?

All soil types can benefit, but it's especially useful in sandy soils (to hold nutrients and water) and clay soils (to improve structure and drainage).

Is this safe to use on lawns, vegetables, and fruit trees?

Yes. These granules are safe for all plants, including lawns, veggie patches, fruit trees, natives, and ornamentals. They improve overall plant health without burning roots.

How often should I apply humic acid granules?

Humic acid can be applied regularly throughout the year as part of your soil conditioning program. Refer to our Product Usage Guide for seasonal advice.

Can I use humic acid with other fertilisers?

Yes. Humic acid enhances the efficiency of other fertilisers by helping them stay in the root zone longer and making nutrients more available to plants.

Will this product help improve poor or tired soils?

Absolutely. Humate granules are excellent for rebuilding soil organic matter and long-term soil fertility. They support microbial activity and healthier plant growth.

How do I apply humic acid granules?

You can spread them by hand or with a broadcast spreader and water them in well. They are suitable for lawns, garden beds, tree plantings, and even native areas.

Is this a fertiliser?

No, humic acid is not a fertiliser in the traditional sense. It doesn’t supply NPK nutrients directly but improves how plants access and absorb nutrients already present in the soil or from added fertilisers.

This product combined with others from Plant Doctor have been fantastic on my lawn part of my lawn plan trying to improve my soil

Great products

By: Jason on 25 June 2025
I started using humane granules in autumn combined with the lawn lovers pack. Lawn is holding great colour in the cold weather. Great value and ease of application.

Great Product and Great Company

By: Serge on 29 May 2023
Very happy with this product! Fast dispatch and received my order quite quickly with no issues. I will definitely be buying this product again and I'm also looking at buying other products from Plant Doctor. Thank you to all the team for providing a very pleasant purchasing experience.

Humic acid granuies

By: Michelle on 2 April 2023
As an independent agronomist I was given some Humic acid granules to try. I applied them to an area where I sowed new seed for lawn. I didn’t have enough to do all of it but thought great I may see a difference. A year layer and preparing the preparing the area for seed again I could see the difference. The soil was darker, better structure and had better water moisture holding ability. Highly recommend this product for establishment whist the liquid Quantum H is great for ongoing improvement.

Humic acid is a MUST

By: Zac on 15 March 2023
Humate is a great way to get humic acid into the soil at an affordable price, application is a breeze and results speak for themselves, cant recommend this enough.

By far the best thing I’ve done this season

By: Andrew on 11 February 2022
I’ve long used liquid humic acid for my turf, but incorporating this granular formation has made a huge difference to this season. Seems to “magnify” the effects of other products.

Chelating agent

By: Colin-John on 11 January 2022
In the last year I have had success with liquid Quantum H so thought I would put down a longer term slow release granular humate. I am hoping at maximum label rates the detoxifying and chelating effect will reduce dog urine burns on the lawn which is the only thing holding my turf back now.

Extra soil supplement

By: Anferny on 11 June 2021
Having used the Quantum H product as the humic acid in liquid form which acts very fast but for short period of time. Then decided to try in a granular form of the product and cant be more happier and can see result after few application as the lawn still staying lush and green compare to last winter was getting lots of purple blade due to sudden dropped in temperature. Another product would recommend people to try on their lawn or even garden plant.

Great value

By: Christopher on 28 June 2020
Great product and cost effective

Love this stuff

By: Aaron on 21 June 2020
Used this product when seeding a couch lawn in summer. After previously seeding without it, the results were significant. Germination was great, and the lawn was quick to fill in and is still going strong into winter.

Great for healthy roots

By: Kris on 24 August 2019
Used when seeding ryegrass. Created a really strong root system in no time at all.

HuMATE!!

By: robert on 2 August 2019
Added to my lawn and around plants. Soil is much richer after using 3 months ago with lots of worm activity. Very easy to use.

Black Gold!!

By: robert on 16 April 2019
So easy to use. Premixing really helps avoid blockages.

Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
