Humus is... I share a little-known and personal information

Humus in the fog

I thought, it's simple. Handed over its soil for analysis, to get a result here it is humus, 5.6%:

It turned out anything like this! Humus "according to Tyurin" - is carbon. Only carbon. What was left of the black soil after the collective farm.

I found even number, which is usually of the total amount of carbon 85 - 90% is humus. Apparently, "according to Tyurin" prikidochku do: carbon so much - it's probably as much humus that :). A sort of scientific fog.

Well, the fog still with some visibility: 5.6%

In that year, a figure I did not get anywhere. I planted a little and almost without fertilizers. The harvest was very modest.

What is humus

No one could have available to me to explain what humus. In this case, everyone knows that it is something very good, the right plants. Chernen'kii. And something to do with soil fertility. And somehow, slowly formed, and only in the soil.

That's what I was able to get to the bottom. After that I think I have a nodding familiar with humus.

• Basis humus - compound humic and fulvic acids (organic). No formula, it's complicated :)
• So, figuratively speaking, a sponge that absorbs useful substances of plants. Pantry such.
• The plant is necessary to use humus, but it can and destroy it. If you really want to eat, and nothing to eat. The destruction of a very bad option. So I'm doing while inorganic fertilizers on the sly. And in the first season it was simply a barbarian!
• Humic sponge perfectly friendly with water and holds it. Get a supply of water in case of drought.
• All muck, such as radionuclides, absorbed in humus. Plants produced environmentally friendly.
• Biota (soil fungi, bacteria and other small soil animals) feels comfortable in the labyrinth of humus.
• What is particularly surprising, humus involved in all processes of plant life, even in breathing.
• Humus formed from the remains of plants, animals and insects. A process called humification.

Interestingly, the plants need organic-mineral food. Without humus inorganic compounds often, figuratively speaking, are like the stones inedible.

Something like this!

Now I plan (already started) regularly feed your site with hay. Let it be a carbon! Much needed element in agriculture, it turns out.

About the purchase ground

By the way, in the purchase soil for seedlings, where the base - turf, there are humic substances. After all, the peat was formed from the remains of plants. That's where a great water capacity and air permeability of soil purchased.

Do you close my problem with the low fertility of the soil?

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
