Humus the most valuable substance on Earth.
Red worms creating humus from horse manure
The most valuable workers on my farm are the red worms in my compost pile. They are giving me wealth beyond compare. They change the organic materials in the compost to humus. Humus is the most valuable substance on Earth.
Humus is a dark colored and fairly stable soil organic matter with known and unknown physical and chemical properties. It is an integral part of the organic matter complex in living soil. Humus appears to be the product of the microorganisms in living soil, soil that has not been killed by Death-a-cides and petrochemical toxins.
The basis of Biodynamic farming is humus. It is the component of the topsoil that allows plants to thrive. It allows the soil to hold water and mitigates the effects of droughts. It is the living soil. For me to grow the most nourishing vegetables and fruit using organic methods requires humus. I use Biodynamic soil preparations along with pro-biotic microorganism mixture Toby and I have developed to enrich the compost and soil with beneficial microorganisms.
The red worms are the finishing touch. The earth worm’s intestines are a rich ecosystem of bacteria and other microorganism of the soil community of life. They eat the compost organic material and concentrate the microorganisms and stable organic material and coat it with their slime. This is magical stuff, echy slime, binding the clumps of organic material and clusters of organisms into a crumbly spongy ball, Humus.
My worms are experiencing a population boom in the rich horse manure and mulch pile on my farm so I will sell some. I will be bottling up the pro-biotic, Missouri Microbes, Line Creek mixture for sale also. If you have seen the crops at Creek house Community Garden, you know this method works.
