Liquid Aerating Soil Loosener- Aeration Soil Conditioner- No Mechanical or Core Aeration- Simple Lawn Solutions- Any Grass Type, All Season- Great for Compact Soils, Standing water, Poor Drainage.

Bought it to try and improve the soil compaction particularly in grassed areas and found it straightforward to mix, however gauging area coverage is not as easy so may have got it 'just about right'. Too soon at this point to determine its effectiveness.

Why do people fall for these marketing scams , the only way to aerate a lawn is to poke holes in it

I was skeptical but this stuff works SO well. There was a bit of an immediate change, but the true results have come a few weeks later. We could not get the pegs for our pitching net into the ground without using a rubber mallet; now they slide in easily. The lawn is so much healthier now and taking water in properly again.

I have the typical clayey soil in Texas, hard to dig. I'm a smaller female with chronic pain that can't dig in difficult conditions. So I tried this to see if it would help loosen the soil this season before I planted some roses and bushes. It was very easy to apply, I simply measured the recommended amount of concentrate into my sprayer and topped it up with water to properly dilute. Then simply sprayed and watered it in. I was extremely surprised how much easier the soil was to dig barely a week after. This container is enough for several uses. I decided to try it on my lawn as well, as the soil is compacted and I don't have the energy to use a manual decompactor. I sprayed it over a total of 7000 square feet and still have enough for several more applications.

Has helped loosen the soil and promote new growth, while helping to re-establish the dormant areas!

I've been an avid gardener and 'beautiful lawn' enthusiast for decades. I like using products that are all organic, safe, effective and priced well. I first heard of SLS products while watching some Ryan Knorr youtube vids on lawn renovation - my fall project - and decided to try the products. Reviews were good, but the 'pull the trigger and buy' moment for me was learning it was a family owned business and reading others reviews on their helpful customer service. After narrowing down the products best suited to this project, I reached out to Pam H. at SLS and heard back within a few minutes with answers to my questions. No automated answers either! She is a delight and very knowledgeable about each product. With her help and encouragement, I first used the Soil Loosener, followed a few weeks later with the Root Hume and Micronutrient Booster both applied on the same day. This weekend, I will be applying the 3-18-18 lawn food. While I had never been a fan of products that had to be applied by spraying or misting, with Pam's help I now consider myself a pro. The trick to it was less reading or the Ortho Dial &Spray directions and more watching of related youtubes, then running it all by her for last minute tips. I know that sounds like a lot of 'hand holding' over something so simple - but while sad, still true. Bottom line: I found the application to be a piece of cake - what had I been waiting for????? The Soil Loosener...I'm not kidding...is a miracle product. I was shocked to see that the directions only called for using a very small amount, but it worked like a charm. I sprayed it on all my lawn areas and even in my flower beds to improve water and air flow. I watered it in well, but still timed it to go down right before a heavy rain. Weeks later and eight days after receiving a 3" rainfall, I used a moisture meter and found that not only was the soil soft enough for the probe to easily insert 5-6 inches, but the soil was moist all the way down - something I'd had a hard time achieving due to compacted, hydrophobic soil and run-off. So Soil Loosener gets 5 stars for sure. I opted for the Root Hume and Micronutrient Booster to improve the over-all health of the soil and give my new grass seed the best growing conditions possible. I don't have a way of determining how much these products changed the condition of the soil, except to say that my new grass is dense, emerald green and gorgeous. I'll be applying the 3-18-18 as stated above to give the lawn the best pre-winter treatment in anticipation of the coming 3 months in the 20's & 30's. Very recent studies have shown that higher doses of nitrogen are good in September and even October, but as the temperature drops, the need for nitrogen decreases while the need for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) increase. The P for root development and the K for over-all stamina and health. I'm truly delighted with these products and plan to use the 16-4-8 lawn food as we come out of winter for green-up, growth, root development, vigor and strength. I encourage you to give these a try, contact Pam by email or phone if you have questions (both contacts are on the web page). You won't be disappointed.
