Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Understand I don't claim to be an expert, but when you say you produce humus, 
is that the same as synthesizing humus? Perhaps the difference lies in the 
word "synthetically".  How do you produce humus? Or define humus? I 
understand humus is an amorphous, non-uniform substance that varies from any 
consistent composition. Let's hear more about it.

The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not 
television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism. Only 
those who know the most about it can appreciate how little we know about it.
   - Aldo Leopold in  Round River, 1933
