Humus is a generic term for any soil amendment made of organic matter. Compost, peat and decayed leaves are 3 examples of humus builders. You can make your own by gathering all your neighbors’ leaves, shredding them and tucking leaves around your plants. Worms and 4 legged diggers move the leaves into the soil where they will decay and eventually become humus. And have a compost heap! Here is a fun discussion of the term humus. There is a twist at the end of the article!
