What is humus and how it is made? Humus is the dark soil that naturally occurs in forests after hundreds of years of breaking down organic matter. The Advanced Composting system, (ACS), is a controlled method of windrow composting that allows us to work with nature, to build humus structure in 8-10 weeks. This is a completely natural process just as nature intended. Humus and compost polymers are primarily made of carbon containing molecules called amino acids. In compost the polymer chains are short and in humus polymer chains are long. These long chain polymers exist only in stable humus. The process of producing humus is called humification and it occurs as carbon and nitrogen ions are processed, digested, and stabilized. Humus forming microflora (bacteria and fungi) and microfauna (protozoa and nematodes) make this all possible. Maintaining an aerobic environment while breaking down organic matter allows for the greatest amount of broken down organic matter to be built up into humu
