Soil Porosity
Earthworm humus is especially important for soil porosity, as the process in which organic matter passes through the earthworm's digestive system is what causes the risk of erosion to be reduced and the soil to have better water absorption and of nutrients.
Nutrients
Because it has a longer duration in the soil, the earthworm humus also offers a high and constant amount of diversified nutrients, in addition to ensuring the proliferation of microbes and bacteria essential for the enzymatic processes of the plant and the soil. With this nutrition the roots grow stronger and the heavy metals are gradually removed from the soil.
Regulates pH
Earthworm humus helps to regulate the pH of the soil, as its own pH tends to neutral pH. This balance of the soil does not require the use of large amounts of fertilizers, even if organic, and ensures higher quality of agriculture as a whole.
How to produce humus
Avoiding the use of chemicals in agriculture is not difficult when we look at our ancestors' relationships with nature. Everything can be produced without the presence of pesticides, manure or synthetic fertilizers, just having the right information.
The change is often slow and gradual, but it will certainly make a difference in the long run and bring a much healthier and more sustainable life for our children.
Despite being extremely rich, humus must be associated with other organic fertilizers for organic production to be healthy, have a high productivity, without the need to put consumers' health at risk.
