What is humus?

SoilPoint Soil Booster

In classical soil science, humus is the dark organic matter in soil formed by the decomposition of plant and animal matter. It is rich in nutrients and retains moisture in the soil. Our team has developed an innovative process for producing a clean, regenerative, ultra-pure, highly-concentrated, humus-based soil conditioner from oxidised lignite coal.

SoilPoint Soil Booster provides:

• Purity. A concentration of up to 50–70% pure granular humates, compared to only 10–20% for most other processes.
• Builds & maintains soil microbiology. Naturally, without chemicals or elements that harm the environment.
• Irrigation ready. Small particles flow through multiple irrigation systems and methods.
• Low cost of production. Innovative processes and direct-to-market channels deliver a competitively-priced humic amendment.
• Improves the efficiency of applied fertilisers and optimises soil conditions for greater root mass.
• Improves nutrient uptake and the conversion of applied nutrients to plant-available forms.
• Enhances abiotic stress tolerance and supports microbial populations.

Reduce your NPK dependence with humus

Our soil booster is a humus-based, effective substitute for traditional chemical components. It restores and conditions depleted soils, and is approved by OMRI and the UK Soil Association for use in both conventional and organic farming. Humic and fulvic acids optimise soil conditions for greater root mass and the conversion of applied nutrients to plant-available forms, allowing use of soil that would otherwise be low-producing or non-arable.

SoilPoint's purity & concentration

SoilPoint has a concentration of up to 50–70% humic and up to 5% fulvic. Our production grinds the particles to a microscopic dust, retaining the natural minerals and vitamins in the raw material. The particles are small enough to flow through irrigation systems, trailered drums or backpack sprayers. We also produce a granular type for hand or machine broadcast.
