Huma-Iron™ (Lawn)

Beautiful Green Summer Lawns... Especially When It's Hot!

Huma-Iron™ contains a biologically correct blend of carbon, humus, iron, and trace minerals that will revive your lawn and and keep it green throughout the summer and fall months. Huma-Iron™ will never burn your grass and can safely be applied during extreme heat! 

All lawns require a balanced carbon / nitrogen ratio to be healthy and perform their best. Mainstream chemical fertilizer contains high doses of nitrogen that will quickly burn the carbon out of the soil and create problems for your lawn.  This is why chemical lawn fertilizer works great for a few years and then tends to fizzle out... leaving you with a weak lawn and increased bug infestations.

Huma-Iron™ adds the carbon, humus, and trace minerals back into your soil so you can get the most out of your fertilizer and enjoy a higher quality lawn. When you add carbon to a lawn that has had multiple servings of nitrogen the results are spectacular!

With over 500,000 units sold this product is a proven winner... If your grass is turning brown you need Huma-Iron™. This Stuff Works!

Good Stuff

"Helped my lawn to become more dense, filled in bare spots and green up even during the drought we are experiencing. No irrigation system here either. It is not inexpensive but it is the real deal. I have a large lawn and will order a pallet of this in the Spring."

Stanley S. (5/5)

Lawn fertilizer

"Loved it. Really made my lawn come back and it looks so healthy now"

Christine D. (5/5)

Greener and fuller than ever

"Tried Huma-Iron this past summer. Used as specified by recommendations in the website. I decided to forgo the usual chemical fertilizing of my lawn. My lawn has looked the best it ever has."

John O. (5/5)

Tickled Green

"Our lawn in one application has greened up, filled in bare spots and thickened so much more than the name brand we’ve used for years. Our soil is hard like clay and some things don’t grow well in this soil. This has been a game changer in just one application! Can’t wait to see what the velvet lawn food does!"

Renee B. (5/5)

Q&A

What schedule should I follow for the Fertilizer/Lawn Food and Huma-Iron application process?
A real good Dr. JimZ lawn program is Velvet Green Lawn Food on the spring, Huma-Iron in the early summer, Huma-Iron in mid summer, Velvet Green Lawn Food in the fall… Also, to take you lawn to the next level apply Save-A-Green. Hope this helps!
Can I buy this on Vancouver Island Canada.
We deliver to Canada all the time but there is a cost for shipping.
What time of year do I apply Tree Secret? Just going into fall in Pocatello, Idaho, freezing nights are here. Thank you!
Right now when the leaves start to fall is a very good time to feed your trees. This is when they pull in nutrients for the winter and spring months. Also early spring is good for Tree Secret.
can huma-iron be used safely on burmeda grass?
Huma-Iron is an excellent lawn fertilizer that works on Bermuda grass :)
Can you tell me, what setting for distribution. I have a Scott elite spreader. Thanks.
The #10 setting seems to work well on a Scotts broadcast style spreader. However, you can adjust up or down from there as needed. Cheers!

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Huma-Iron™ different from other lawn fertilizers?

Most conventional fertilizers rely on synthetic nitrogen and chemical fertilizers that force-feed your grass while stripping the soil of its natural carbon. This creates a cycle where your lawn needs more product just to stay green, and excess nutrients run off into waterways. Huma-Iron™ takes the opposite approach. Made from natural ingredients derived from natural sources, this fertilizer rebuilds soil structure by delivering the essential nutrients and vital nutrients your lawn actually needs. The result is a healthier lawn that holds its color through summer heat and recovers from drought conditions without any risk of burn.

Can I use Huma-Iron™ on any type of grass or soil?

Yes. Huma-Iron™ works on all grass types and climates, from warm-season turf like Bermuda and St. Augustine to cool-season varieties like fescue and Kentucky bluegrass. Whether you have sandy soil, heavy clay, or carbon-depleted ground overfed with synthetic fertilizers, Huma-Iron™ rebuilds the soil health your lawn depends on. For even better results, pair it with practices like leaving grass clippings on your lawn after mowing or brewing compost tea to boost microbial activity. If a soil test reveals nutrient gaps, this soil amendment addresses them because carbon-based nutrients bind to organic matter rather than leaching away after rain.

How often should I apply Huma-Iron™, and when is the best time to start?

Apply Huma-Iron™ up to four times per year using a broadcast spreader, on its own or alongside your favorite lawn fertilizer. The easy application process means you just spread it evenly and let it work. For best results, start in early spring as your lawn comes out of dormancy and follow up throughout the growing season. Because Huma-Iron™ will never burn your grass, you can safely use it during extreme heat when conventional fertilizer would cause damage. Water it in for faster absorption, but not required. Consistent lawn care with Huma-Iron™ strengthens grass roots over time, and you will notice a thicker green lawn that needs fewer inputs per square foot each year.
