| This
site has been established in order to bring together all of the great studies
and techniques of humus production, throughout the world. The whole principle
behind such a collaboration is to get the find what materials and methods
make the most sustainable humus. We would like to note that some information
on this web site may be anonymous. Although some may have individual's names
attached, this is only for future collaboration purposes. World Humus Interest Group was inspired by a small group of Swiss farmers, whom take humus as seriously as we all should. The Swiss are admired for their precise thoughts, actions and products. In Germany, komposting has been refined to near perfection. A small Austrian Farmer has come closest to perfecting the method of making the highest quality humus. Some of us have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to the work of Mr. Seigfreid Lübke (Lube-Ka). Mr Lübke has completed circle after circle of research to application. Being a self taught micro-biologist and farmer, by trade, he has been able to experiment on philosophy, in the lab, then make it work in the field with tremendous success. This website will include some of Mr Lübke's work, but we will definitely not limit our knowledge to this single man's work. No one person or group holds all the answers. As a group of people, focused on building nothing but the best humus, we are after nothing but the bottom line....the absolute truths of what makes humus its best! One must remember that soil is one of the most dynamic life forms we have available, that can work tremendously in our favor. Countless populations of microscopic organisms not only make soil a store house of nutrients for plants but also act as a filter for surface water being recycled into ground water. Soil is much more than just dirt! Creating humus is the cornerstone to naturally sustainable soils. Naturally sustainable soils are the foundation of a fully dynamic natural system. Our mission is to take what knowledge and talent each one of us has been given and join it all together so that we can complement the weaknesses of each other. This will allow us to see the whole picture much more clearly. We all have parts of a large puzzle. We need to put it together now! Our largest goal is to create the highest quality of life, for the ones we love. There are so many people who have devoted lifetimes to this cause. Let's gather the information they have compiled, and put it to the ultimate tests. This website will consist of the most intriguing information ever assembled about highly sustainable humus !

The "WORMWOMAN" online

"Worms eat my garbage. They've been doing it for twenty-seven years. I set up my basement worm bin with shredded newspaper, a bit of soil, and a few thousand redworms. I bury food waste in it. The worms eat it. They also eat the bacteria and protozoa and fungi and other microorganisms which decompose it. They grind and mix and secrete and excrete and eventually the food waste and bedding turns into worm castings which we use in our garden. The whole process is truly on-site recycling", says Mary. "No
one in this country has done more for the self-image of worms than Mary
Appelhof, the undisputed and nationally recognized, "Worm Woman."
