Did you wonder what is Regenerative Farming? In this blog, we explore the expectation vs. realities of implementing these practices in your farm.
When to apply humic acid is a question that is asked often. Whether you use compost, aged manure, or urea the addition of humic acid to your regime means you will need less because it makes all fertilizers more efficient
In honor of Earth Day, we explore the role of soil health on carbon sequestration and how Regenerative farming is a step in the right direction.
Produce recalls are happening far too often. Spinach, leafy greens, and sprouts are the worst culprits in the vegetable world. How are you farming to avoid a produce recall?
The use of companion planting can bring huge benefits to your farm. Carefully planned planting can help with crop pests and maximization of your space.
Humus is commonly found in all soils, peats, bodies of fresh water, and oceans. Its structures are microscopic but are absolutely necessary for healthy soil and plants.
Humic and fulvic acids originate from humus, but they play very different roles. Humic acids help to build soil biology improving soil fertility.
Having soil organic matter is crucial to a productive farm. Organic matter is essential for growing healthy sustainable plants and improving soil health.
There is no beginning and no end to the Food Web. Just as there is no waste. From the microscopic organisms in your soil to your dinner table, there is a continuum of eaters and eaten. On your farm, do you have any gaps in that continuum? How can you tell if you have the proper microorganisms?
Today, we explore the many types of organic solutions for pest control. Read the four steps to keep your farm profitable and insect damage under control.
It Starts with Soil Health 24 hours a day/7 days a week carbon dioxide and other gases are cycled into the soil from the atmosphere. Some gases stay in the soil, others are returned to the atmosphere. Usually, plants are
Is there a relationship between soil and fungi? How does it affect your crops? We explained it here.
We explore the different farming methods and their impact on the soil health and the environment.
Soil undisturbed has a balance of humic acid, microorganisms, and the entire soil food web.
A comprehensive soil test will provide you with important information to better manage your soil.
An interesting article from Daphne Miller, MD, in The Washington Post.
Fungi are microscopic cells in the soil. There many types of fungi and each one has its role.
Have you ever eaten a wonderful meal but felt not quite satisfied? Even though you ate plenty of vegetables and had fruit for dessert there’s something missing?
This microorganism feeds mainly on bacteria and sometimes eats fungi as well. Protozoa are essential to the Soil.
Nitrogen is crucial for plant growth. Now, here is the weird thing, Nitrogen is amongst the most abundant elements on Earth; however, it is not in a plant-available form.
Physician Daphne Miller observes the native indigenous diets work best for our health. Modernization has changed many of our traditional recipes, shifting waistline structure, and our sensible diet.
We have what we require to keep us fit and heal ourselves from our food sources. Therefore, it’s important that our soils, which heals us, be respected because they contain the nutrients and minerals that are our physical building blocks.
The month of remembrance and the month of celebration filled with gratitude. But just maybe our Thanksgiving should run deeper, as we observe the diverse microbiome beneath the soil that contributed to our traditions heralding the Autumn Equinox.

Clay, dirt, and mud pie, the earthly dietary delicacy. Soil contains minerals that are important for human development, and proper cellular biology. Obviously too much can harm, but in the right measure, its ability to help is astonishing – but served on the menu?
It’s nice to have healthy options to the status quo, but when did our baseline for health become the alternative?
Our kinship with sol continues as our natural forests have the capacity to heal us from illness, cheer us from sadness, and assure our overall well being.
Soil is a complex organism with many beneficial life forms working hard to sustain us. All of them working in a perfect structure to support our lives above ground
As Soil Health is gaining greater importance, Soil For Humanity had the opportunity to sit down with Professor Joann Whalen from McGill University, to discuss soil biology, organic matter and new ways growers can improve and monitor soil’s biological functions.
Mankind’s relationship with the garden has special significance throughout the stages of our years. A century of soil speaks volumes of our human history, but maybe if we listen softly, we will hear her story about us.
Humanity evolved with microscopic bacteria which helped to condition our natural immunity. To restrict this exposure to our natural world weakens the human system. The controversial notion of living a pure life and a sanitized existence.
Nature has provided for life not only on top of the soil, but intelligently created a society of microbes flourishing and
promoting a biodiverse culture underneath.
How has food diversity been lost throughout the years? Are the crops that we have today simply hybridized?
Let’s explore some of the crop varieties we have and what measures are in place to assure we never lose them.
Tillage will dry soil if you’re attempting to aerate the top layer to facilitate crops. The issue is when industrial strength machinery digs in “several feet” for commercial crops, it compacts the lower soil layer killing it off.
Who do you think is the most important person in the company called Earth?
People are questioning if the food we have today contains the same nutritive value as the food from many years ago? This is a valid question, so let’s explore the evidence.
Mr. Minami published Soil and Humanity: Culture, Civilization, Livelihood and Health, 2009. A revealing paper highlighting humanity’s historical relationship with agriculture and soil which deserved further questioning.
Keeping healthy should not be understated. It should be a necessity.
Healthy should be part of our daily lives.
Humic Land is an organic soil amendment made from peat, using cavitation and fine grinding without any chemicals used in the production process. The resulting product is a peat gel.
