This fungi forms a symbiotic relationship with many plants and is an important factor in the soil food web. What is more, this fungi help bind the soil particles to form good soil structure.
Overall, adding humus in the soil will increase soil fertility and enhance the growth of seedlings and other vegetation while also reduce the need for watering to a minimum and help make plants more resilient to disease. Greentumble was founded in the summer of by us, Sara and Ovi. We are a couple of environmentalists who seek inspiration for life in simple values based on our love for nature.
Our goal is to inspire people to change their attitudes and behaviors toward a more sustainable life. When humus is in soil, the soil will crumble. Air and water move easily through the loose soil, and oxygen can reach the roots of plants. Humus can be produced naturally or through a process called composting. When people compost , they collect decaying organic material, such as food and garden scraps, that will be turned into soil.
Photograph by Iris Fong , MyShot. Compost and Humus Compost, like humus, is made of decomposed organic material. Compost usually refers to material created by people from leftover foods and yard waste. Humus usually refers to the natural decay of material such as leaves in the soil's top layer. Also known as plant litter and tree litter.

Each crop has different requirement for manure and the exact amount for each you can find in Agrivi farm management system.
The system guides you for more than different crops when to apply the manure and in which amount. Since humus is a product of organic matter decomposition, each time you add organic matter to the soil, it will increase the amount of humus. This is a slow process, but if organic matter is added each year, the amount of humus will continue to increase. Source: Garden Myths: What is humus? Toggle navigation Get started.

The soil preparation is the first step to ensure that the field is ready for growing a crop. A well-prepared field controls weeds, recycles plant nutrients, and provides a soft soil mass for transplanting and a suitable soil surface for direct seed
