Humic acids used to be abundant in our soil and water systems. However, modern agricultural methods have depleted the soil and our city water systems filter humic substances out. Even in organic agriculture it’s important to add humic substances as stimulants for microbes and food for worms, whether that’s in the form of tons of compost or pounds of humic acids. In sustainable and organic farming the addition of humic acids play an important role in the holistic system and promotes soil and plant health naturally. Humic substances can help reduce the amount of money you spend on other inputs while improving production. It pays to use it.
