Is there ever a role for just doing an application of shampoo or soap.? I know a surfactant is often used in conjunction with a herbicide and or pesticide. Also know the role It plays in helping with a compacted soil. But is there ever a reason to just do it as a mono app? Are the benefits of that?

I have put Dawn down several times this year but didn't seem to do anything. Yesterday was my first application of RGS/AIR-8 to see if that is any better. My lot has spots of super compacted clay but other spots are all sand.

When my lawn as bare dirt for a few months and I was prepping to lay sod I applied baby shampoo I got from the dollar store a few times just to see what it would do. Since it was literally just bare dirt I could get a pretty good look. I think it helped some just from the eyeball test. It seemed to change the soil properties at least on the surface. Wasn't dramatic but I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time.
