From my vague memory of things long since read, I think it was usually a mixture of cow manure and clay. Cow manure is a microbial brew mostly friendly to cows (as well as useful in their digestive processes) and probably unfriendly to things that attack living plants. Just as humans foster gut contents friendly to themselves (more or less successfully depending on their state of health, genetic endowment, food and ambient microbes).

Fresh, steaming-hot cow manure was used with great
success, 'back in the day'. I still mean to give it
a try.
