Carbon based soil amendments like humics and fulvics are excellent food sources for soil microorganisms. I’ll write more about humics in a future blog but I’ll tell you now that a big benefit for using humates is that you’ll need to aerate less after a couple of years of use.
High quality compost is also an excellent source of nutrients for soil microorganisms. However compost that has not gone through carbon and nitrogen cycles can introduce problems like weed seeds, high salt, and too much nitrogen. Be sure to source compost that has gone through both the carbon and nitrogen cycle. Most commercial (and home) composts have not. Earthworm castings are a safer choice if you’re unsure.
