I've been using your RHA product for over three years as part of
our dune restoration projects. We consistently see survival rates exceeding 90%.

We consistently see survival rates exceeding 90%
Most of our projects are in areas without available irrigation systems. By using your RHA product, we have successfully planted several miles of coastal dunes in South Florida. In addition to the successful plantings, we have observed a significant amount of sand accumulation at the dune crests.
To date we have not had any dunes blown out by a wind or storm events. Since RHA is natural by-products, we don't anticipate any negative effects from the product being absorbed into the natural system.

I’m writing you this letter to let you know just how grateful I am to you for introducing
your product line to me.

I have recently been involved in a project where the native soils are just about 100% sand.
You could flood the wells around the palm trunks with water multiple times and go back fifteen
minutes later and there would be no standing water.

We applied American HydroSoil's Rice Hull Ash (RHA) into a demonstration native grass lawn at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and were impressed with the water conserving and performance results. The lawn established quicker, filled in lushly, and retained more moisture in the root zone than it would have without RHA. We plan on expanding our trial to include landscape beds and stand confident that we'll experience positive results.
Using American HydroSoil's RHA fits in well with the Garden's approach to using sustainable landscape inputs to grow and maintain healthy native plants.

The reason your products’ effectiveness was so critical to me is that the size of the palms’ root balls was smaller than requested.
To complicate matters, the palms were planted during a ‘Santa Ana’ event. Unusually warm temps, high winds and very low relative humidity had me losing sleep for weeks.
​
Your unique blend of American HydroSoil’s Rice Hull Ash, liquid humates and liquid mycorrhizae did the trick. That combination of elements inspired faster root generation and lower transplant shock.
After six weeks, this sensitive variety of palms are flourishing even during a second ‘Santa Ana’ event. I look forward to working together in the future!

For the record I will again say the germination of plants is much easier and the water use is far less. Yes, I still use it in all my personal plantings at home. Yes I do use it to get more seed yield in plant starts. Our water use is way down under our neighbors usage. I still feel that nothing else I have used will balance the water within an area like American HydroSoil. Yes, I still recommend it for any garden or planting, including trees and shrubs.

"American HydroSoil seems to have significant potential for the retention of plant available water in the soil. We are just beginning some tests with it at the Center, but feel it is a great example of highly beneficial reuse of what would otherwise be a waste product."

American HydroSoil should be called “Miracle Soil”! And it could not have been available at a better time! Before I used this ash with my landscaping, my plants and trees suffered in this intense heat and drought-like conditions. Even when I watered in the morning, most of my plants were wilted by the afternoon. Also, it had been a challenge to save my trees and stimulate new growth since Hurricane Ike—my trees seemed like they could not get enough water. I feel that using American HydroSoil has made an incredibly positive difference and has notably decreased the need for watering. My new vines and plants are actually flowering now! I have even skipped a day (on occasion 2 days) of watering and my landscaping continues to thrive. Thank you for the opportunity to use this product! Here’s to a greener Earth.
