What is Humus?

Humus compost is the product from our garden I would recommend for all gardeners to use in their garden even if you only have a pot on a patio. We get our humus compost for The Garden from our local University Farm at no charge. Any one from the public can also go and get some for a small fee. Compost is simply organic matter that is broken down and decomposing. Humus compost is that same organic matter that has decomposed but is then eaten by microbes. So basically microbe poop. Humus is not only used across the country but around the world. Midwest Bio Systems , who introduced our local University into making humus, says that none of their facilities can make humus fast enough to satisfy demand. This could very well be why most of their business is educating and equipping farmers to use humus compost on their fields to cut down their cost of fertilizer.

About Growing Pains in Eden

My name is Charlie and I am just emerging into this world as a soon to be college graduate developing my life from the ground up. With my experiences in my back pocket I am starting an adventure in community gardening. I am currently a contractor for the summer in a church community garden (The Garden) that has a goal of getting the whole family involved from grandma and grandpa to toddlers. Part of my job at The Garden is to make that involvement happen. My two years of experience working with Jr. High youth groups and my (soon to be) degree in Business Administration has opened the door to this new opportunity. While I'm finding my way as a young adult I hope to encourage other young adults to find what they love, and live with a purpose by sharing my growing pains and triumphs. Additionally I want to educate readers about gardening, and how little changes can reap great reward. I will be giving simple how-to steps on how to start different kinds of gardens, and ideas on ...
