Optimize

Concentrated Organic Humate Soil Conditioner

Optimize is concentrated organic matter, calcium and iron that enriches soil over time. It attracts and sustains zillions of beneficial soil microorganisms, which are essential for building rich, lively soil. Optimize is packed with fully decomposed organic matter (true humus) to foster an optimal environment for all plants to flourish.

 

Because Optimize is so concentrated, it is our most cost effective product for large areas. For faster results, try our Blend, which contains Optimize, Maximize, and Nourish-Biosol. 

 

You can create your own Blend with 1 part Optimize, 2 parts Nourish-Biosol, and 3 parts Maximize. Or you can purchase pre-mixed Blend for your convenience.

John & Bob’s fertilizer review

This is hands down the best fertilizer and soil amendments that I have ever used. My plants look very lush and healthy. My Kentucky bluegrass just made it through 100 degree weather and still looks dark green and healthy. I will definitely continue to use your fertilizer for my garden, thanks!

Optimize

I started using Optimize last fall mainly for my roses. I had a severe problem with slug worms which never went away no matter what I tried. I combined with the Blend and also worm castings and the problem is most definitely decreased. The roses look so much healthier. I am a firm believer in John and Bob’s products. I will continue using their products in the future!

Great Stuff

Great stuff and some years ago was my intro to organic gardening. My garden and soil were never in better shape after using these products. The texture of the soil especially in my garden is amazing. I pretty much always have this and value rich on hand.

OPTIMIZE is amazing!

I used OPTIMIZE in my northern Florida forest that has a few sunny spaces as well. On this acre of land contains many various plants, flowering, shrubs, fruiting trees, palm trees, pine trees, oak trees, cypress, etc. The land had been neglected for years and the plants and trees weren't thriving, and the bugs were taking over. The sandy soil LOVED OPTIMIZE and now everything is greener and growing strong. It doesn't take a lot of product to make this big transformation. I highly recommend OPTIMIZE if your budget is limited! Thank you, John and Bob's!!
