Disappointed.
We have gotten no response at all from our soil after applying the products as instructed. We had a drought in the spring, which may have had something to do with it. We watered periodically. We used one of your kits a few years ago and we’re impressed with the results. This time was disappointing.

Soil Kit
The last few years I had been unsuccessful growing grass in an area of my lawn due to a fungus. I purchased the Soil Kit and followed John’s advice and the results were stunning. I now have thick new growth in the problem area as well in areas I overseeded and used John and Bob’s organic products….they were a game changer.
