Back in May my soil would only give me 3 inches or less.
Two applications of baby shampoo changed that considerably, and I added a third recently (which comes out to an application about every 3-4 weeks). I can now get 5-6 inches pretty consistently on most areas tested.
I'm surprised by the effectiveness. I don't know if you will have similar results with shampoo (you surely don't have 3 months to work with). It just happened to work with my particular set of circumstances--note that I am in a newly constructed house as well. I say go for it: worse case scenario is you're out 20 bucks or so and an hour for application time.
I've got humic acid and kelp extract on standby. I plan to use the humic acid near my seed date and possibly the kelp as well.
