Amazing Results
The soil I had in this area was hard clay, very hard to dig, using the mantis tiller, created area of 10'x6' using the kit following the instructions I was amazed at the results in such a short time.
Anyone that has Hard Clay Should Buy this Product
For anyone that has hard clay should buy this product. I would recommend it to anyone. [John & Bob's] turned my garden from clay to rich soil.
Best Garden Ever after John and Bob's
I had the best garden ever this year. I was thoroughly impressed with this product. My garden is small, but I was able to share veggies with all my friends who raved about how beautiful, and bountiful the plants are. We took pictures to show our children and I canned this year for the first time in 20 years! I highly recommend the product to anyone with hard clay soil such as we have.
Can't Believe the Results
Couldn't believe this product worked so well, was the first time I have ever had anything thrive in this soil.
Crop Yield and Growth are Better with John and Bob's
Used on one-half of the ground where I planted corn and tomatoes. There is a noticeable difference between the plots. Yields and growth are better on the treated ground.
Customer question: Calcium and pH
Different than Anything I Have Used Before
Product is most interesting....very different from anything I have used before...and if it lives up to its promises, my garden and inside plants should be great this year!
Easy to Use
I recommend these products because of their ease of use and because it seemed to make the plants grow faster and bigger than the plants we did not use the products on.
Fantastic Results
My lawn soil was poor, bare spots & thin grass. Did not expect much in results but scattered rain did make fantastic results. Grass is now thick and is best part of lawn.
Garden Thriving after John and Bob's
I have good old North Carolina red clay. After using this product, my vegetables are bigger, healthier. My flower garden is also thriving in areas that have been difficult in the past.
Helps Grass and Flowers Grow
My yard has clay and hard soil. This product was easy to use and helped grass and flowers grow.
John and Bob's Helps New Grass Grow Beautifully
We used Clay/Hard Soil Solutions kit on a section of lawn that we have been trying to successfully grow grass on for the past several years. Despite adequate water in the past, we have been unsuccessful until this year, when we used the Clay/Hard Soil Solutions kit. It softened the soil and allowed the new grass to take root, grow, and survive beautifully.
John and Bob’s Increases Earthworm Population
My test area was approx. 350 sg. ft. The product was easy to use. The vegetables raised in this virgin area were a very good quality and the taste was great. We had beets, sugar snap peas, potatoes(fingerlings) and carrots. When we dug our carrots and potatoes we found many earthworms. Earthworms were not in this spot prior to the application of your products.

Perfect Choice for My Yard
This product came at the perfect time to test. I redid my back yard gardens due to poor drainage in the yard. Due to the enormous job it unfortunately took longer to test this product. My overall opinion is excellent. My plants are beautiful and blooming non-stop. One important factor for me is I had a dog with Lymphoma at the time and this product is safe for pets and children and that made this product the perfect choice for my yard. I would use this product again. Eugenia Faust, Louisiana
Plants are Bigger and Greener
I used this product on 1/2 of our vegetable garden. Even though there are few plants in the garden, there is a noticeable difference in the 2 areas. The plants that received the product are greener and bigger than those in the untreated area. I completed the application on March 29 and already see an improvement in the plants and soil. I cannot wait to see what happens this summer. Thanks for the product.

Success when Building the Soil
Our friend, John Kohler at Growing Your Greens, produced an excellent video that discusses the pros and cons of building existing soil versus bringing in new soil. He discusses how to use John and Bob's to build the soil (starting about 12 minutes in). Here are a few notable quotes: "When you inoculate your garden space with the beneficial microbes, they do more than just build your soil. They also give your plants disease resistance." "The trace minerals [in Maximize] make your food taste better and make it grow bigger! And your plants will be more resistant to diseases and bugs!" "This product[Nourish] will nourish your plants, encourage microbial growth and it can reduce soil pH. It's also going to help with the bad nematodes with your soil."
