Dr. Faust (who is the supplier of Humisolve) responded to Jose and said I c=
ould post his response to the accusation regarding Humisolve. Here is the =
key part. He included the tests, which I will post if anyone wants:

"As far as analysis goes ......... Our product is actually
less than 50% humic ACID but is about 74% humic ACIDS, the other test,
using the USGS XAD resin method of fulvic acid analysis, based on the
IHSS standards. Our process down sizes the molecule so that as you can
see from the test done at N.Texas U. that our N.m humisolve is over 55%
fulvic acid, which is why the stuff works and we sell in the pure form
as bio magic and the supplement Wujinsan. So think gold not black, our
product is primarily a fulvic product. I stand by the label!"

I can tell you the stuff helps make some fine fungal numbers. I tried a li=
quid, soluable but didn't get the results. Of course, as has been noted by=
 others, there are all sorts of humic acids. As for the particles, I use on=
e Teaspoon per five gallons as a fungal nutrient. Loose compost, even after=
 straining, causes the clogs on my sprayer, not the teaspoon of humisolve p=
articles.

Thanks for the response, Dr. Faust.

Cheers,
Jeff L
