This page is about the importance of humus, and how to establish high value organic matter in soil.
Plant-available organic matter provides energy and fertility.  Raise the percentage of humus, using RootZone,  just 1%, and the available nitrogen,
phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, etc., become available to roots.  No need to purchase industrially-produced fertilizer.  Water-holding capacity will
increase.  RootZone Humus helps save on water use.  Our products make nutrients and moisture more available to plants.  We help stabilize humus
in your soil.  With RootZone programs, soil is healed and healthy energetic growth becomes sustainable!

A Sense of Humus through All Seasons
        (Season by Season Sustainability)
              by John Wear

In nature, there is a continual recycling of all kinds of               
organic materials.   Leaves,  grass,  branches,  bark, dead         
insects and animals decompose and slowly become topsoil       
and food for plants.   Plant roots take nutrients from the           
decomposing materials.  The decomposed materials become      
an "earthy smelling" compost.  This compost becomes               
humus.  The humus is the life source for the soil.

           NATURAL SOIL FERTILITY
(Nutrient Values from Compost and Active Aerobic Compost Tea)

Active, energetic, easy to work soil is high in humus content.
Such soil contains much microbial and fungal life.  It is very
fertile.              

Humus researchers, Dr. S. A. Waksman and Dr. Stan E.           
Wedberg of the University of Connecticut, studied soil humus,
soil microbes, and soil fungi.  Wedberg stated,  "The fertility of
the soil is in direct proportion to the number and activity of
soil microorganisms."  It was also discovered that soil organic
matter is necessary to attract and to maintain microorganism
values in soil.  

Compost and Active Aerobic Compost Tea, a liquid organic
energy activator, are two totally organic products which help
us increase humus values in depleted soils.

                  SOIL LIFE VALUES

For soil to have beneficial life, (energy which makes soil      
fertile),  the soil must have high humus content.  The humus   
content and exudates of the microorganisms compose the         
plant-appropriate food matter which is released for plants to     
ingest by osmosis.  This is the natural and appropriate              
design for energy transfer to plants.  Organic matter is the       
safe and most effective source of long term and sustainable
food supply for the "critters" which are designed to support
growth of plants (important human and animal food supplies.)

Some additional subjects for study:

1. Decomposition of crop residues.
2. Mineralization of soil organic matter.
3. Synthesis of soil organic matter.
4. Nitrification
5. Fixation of nitrogen.
6. Immobilization of mineral nutrients.
7. Formation of soil organic matter.


Synthetic, chemical, man-made fertilizers are able to provide some         
stimulation to plants.  It is possible to enhance or to speed the process   
of photosynthesis by timely applications of certain fertilizers to                
growing plants.  Fact is, well balanced soil which contains adequate      
amounts of available organic matter, (stable humus), has values which   
ensure that the process of photosynthesis will happen.  

It is the microbial life that provides reliable energy to plant roots,            
giving strength to stems and health to developing leaves.
When soil is well fed with 3% to 5%, or more, high quality organic          
matter, synthetic fertilizing is not required.

We have reasons to be wildly enthusiastic about ROOTZONE HUMUS.
Energetic, easy to use and highly effective ROOTZONE is now shipping.  Recent
projects are in Oklahoma and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  We are feeding
tree roots and returning health to damaged soil.
Exposed and salt-damaged roots

Restoration
Second deployment of RootZone Humus in GULF SAVER bags,
Pass-a-Loutre, Louisiana.  RootZone microbial values protect
smooth cord grass and black mangrove in restoration planting.

This method is proving effective in bioremediation and
