In all honesty - the ad actually makes me less likely to buy the product. Not that I do not think the girl is sexy as hell - but rather if the company chose to promote this product there must be a reason!
If the product is good - then I am sure that others on here will try it and share their results. If I see some others whom I value their input say it is a good to great product, I may reconsider.

Welcome, Jeff is the bomb

Yeah we send product that is about to expire to Jeff and he tries to get it out to folks
there is an expire date on the back of each bottle but it doesn't mean it has gone bad if it goes passed it

use your nose if it smells like rotten eggs or has an ammonia smell it has probably passed its prime

I could not agree more! I won't even bother clicking their link.

Jeff is the bomb! That course changed my life, I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about Organics and healthy living.

I have also used your Gluten-8 product (Great stuff by the way) I need to get my hands on some more. I gave the sample a whiff and it smells fine, I am looking forward to using it on some chlorotic Norway spruces that need some TLC.

I will assume it is the TREE product, they will love it
come back and take a look about 3 weeks later, you will see a noticable difference
Just use it as a drench around the drip line
cup
watering can
spray rig
injections

it doesn't matter, they will love it
tree's and most shrubs don't want NPK they want a fungally dominant soil

Bill,

I have always appreciated the classy and tactfull way you advertise on this site. Even if others don't agree with your marketing practices. lol

I have tried a few of Bill's products. Some with great results, and others not for me/my program.

I will probably never try fulvic bloom. I know they are sponsors on this site. I hope they notice this thread.

Where is Gerry and some others when we need them

apologies,I didn't even notice that I was so flagrant, but we are very proud of the results that Tree has

it's all good, I know the trees will still love it

JD you have to meet Jeff Franks, you would not believe the energy, I'll send you an email to his site
very unassuming five footish thin guy, kind of reminds you of George Carlin when he opens his mouth because he is from NY
WOW he will bowl you right over with the stuff he spits out

and the wonderful part is how honest he is, great guy

I love that ad!! I actually honestly considered contracting the company for a sample and thought about offering some sort of liquid ap service. I would really like to see more ads like that.

What's the benefit of buying watered down humates when you can buy full strength and save on shipping water?
I don't know what product you are refering to as "watered down" but Fulvic Bloom and Bio-Microbial Bloom are NOT watered down. They are both CONCENTRATES, and you MUST ADD water when you add them to your tank and are ready to apply. www.FulvicBloom.com sells ONLY concentrate.
Fulvic Bloom is an outstanding source for Fulvic Acid, the benefits of adding Fulvic Bloom to your fertilization program are:

Overall better appearance of foliage in as little as 24 hrs.
Increases water holding capacity in soil.
Increases aeration of soils.
Improves soil workability.
Helps resist drought conditions.
Speeds up plant growth, great for vegetative or flowering.
Chelates nutrients for uptake by plants .
Increases percentage of Minerals & Nutrients in soils.
Accelerates plant cell division and promotes growth.
Stimulates growth & proliferation of soil microorganisms.
Aids in photosynthesis.

Bio-Microbial Bloom™ USDA Organic (soil enhancement) is a probiotically composted mineral complex to enhance and supplement your fertility program. This product contains 200+ strains of pharmaceutical grade pro biotic microbes which are all found in nature. They are beneficial to all plants, animals and humans. They are not genetically modified organisms. They are derived from a natural mineral digestion and fermentation process. This product stimulates rooting, increases plant vigor, enhances domestic microbial activity and diversity. It also helps prevent plant diseases through competitive exclusion as it dominates the root zone. These microbes also clean up toxins in the environment and biodegrade
organic matter into compost. Bio-Microbial Bloom™ increases water holding capacity in the soil which saves water.

We use both of these DAILY as additives to our tanks for our Fert Service. We love the fact that it can be sprayed on lawns, trees, shrubs, flower and vegetable gardens. These are all up-sell services you can offer. Our customers ALWAYS opt to add the shrubs, trees, and gardens. Many of them ask if we will make EXTRA visits to their veggie gardens during the month, for an additional fee. We didn't offer the extra visits, but they frequently ask for them, and are willing to pay the additional fees. We also carry 32 oz bottles with us to our fert jobs, and almost ALWAYS sell a bottle to the homeowner for their house plants, and because they want to treat their veggie gardens more frequently than once a month. So the 32 ounce bottles come in real handy for additional income.

Another way the 32 oz. bottles comes in handy is IF by some chance you do an estimate, and the homeowner decides they can't afford a Fert Service and calls back saying they are just going to have to do it theirself this year. Then at least you can offer to sell them the product, and STILL get an income from the customer you were going to lose all together.

The icing on the cake for us has been our referral program. With our referral program, these do-it-yourself customers can earn a discount for next year, so they can afford our services the following year. The Do-it-Yourself customers bring us SO MANY referrals, we NEVER even miss the income we would have earned had they not opted to do it themselves this year. Just this week, (in 2 days), we got 4 accounts from a gal who bought a bottle to do-it herself last year because she could not afford our services, but had heard about our product. They totaled over $1600.00 in service sales, and she signed up this year with a 40.00 credit for her referrals.

What I don't understand here on lawnsite, is folks who have to say comments about a product they have NEVER even tried. I would think we would keep our opinion to ourself, unless we have tried a product. Then we would have a basis for our comments. That way we can HELP folks decide which products will benefit them in their programs. Especially the organic crowd, we are having enough trouble trying to get the chem guys to go organic, and help heal the earth. So I don't know why the organic folks don't try to get along better, and stop cutting down products they haven't tried. We need organic options so the chem guys can see how easy it would be to switch to organic. All the disagreement I see in the posts between several of the organic guys makes it difficult to put together an organic program, and all the knocking of untried products, makes chem guys afraid to switch over.

We were terrified to try AGGRAND fert in one of our programs we offer, because of the comments about the smell we read on lawnsite. The COMMENTS made us afraid to use it, so we almost didn't. But we REALLY wanted a liquid fert to go along with our products for that program. Fulvic Bloom enhances the uptake of nutrients, so you need less nitrogen, because it is more readily available, so the Aggrand Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3 is a perfect match with our products!

Well we went ahead and tried it. YES, it does have a fishy smell. Is it overwhelming when diluted in the tank? NO. It's not that bad at all, and well worth the benefits of having a liquid fert for our spray tanks. Our customers say they don't even notice it within a couple hours, and SEVERAL say they NEVER noticed it. I suppose it will be a little more noticeable on warmer days, but we did put it through a test in a heated area, and again it wasn't that bad, and gone in a couple hours. I'm just glad we TRIED it OURSELVES before we decided not to use it, because our results are GREAT!

Best Wishes to everyone having a great season, we are off to an incredible start this year with lots of new fert accounts mostly from referrals, but several from marketing. Would be glad to help anyone with ideas to get accounts. HOPING EVERYONE IS GETTING A GREAT START TOO!!!
