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.

Having a successful garden requires you to tune into where you live. Knowing your climate, soil, drainage, how much rain you will get (or not get) that year, where the sun shines most, and so on brings greater appreciation for how God designed where we live. 3.     Old fashioned hard work.

From digging trenches, building compost bins, trellises, and raised beds, it's been a good day when you’re covered with dirt and sweat and are ready to put your feet up. a work day at my parents house early this spring 4.     Eating healthy.
