Colloidal Humus

Compost forms pretty readily from compost heaps and bins and is a common method of fertilizing gardens. Amending it to your soil can create numerous benefits for your plants. However, the ultimate plant food is colloidal humus.
Colloidal humus compost is a step beyond compost. Compost is fibrous, dark and smells earthy, but it’s a mere phantom of the colloidal humus that you could produce.
First, let's see what is a colloid. Colloid is a liquid but has a solid suspended in it firmly. A couple of examples of a colloid would be butter or jello.
So, knowing what a colloid is, we would expect colloidal humus to be similar. Colloidal humus can be rolled into a ball very easily and maintains its shape when formed like a rubber or putty. Regular compost is nutricious dirt that can have all of its nutrients washed away over time. Colloidal humus compost feeds itself and the nutrients do not wash away because they are suspended in a colloid.
Plants feed only during the light. They drink constantly, but they feed during photosynthesis. Actually, a rarely mentioned fact remains unspoken most of the time. Plants have 2 root systems; one for water and another for nutrients. So feeding your plants can be tricky. If you water in insufficient light, they just drink. In normal soil or compost, the water releases the nutrients and makes them available to the plant. Colloidal humus is available any time.

Making colloidal humus from raw organic material consists of a series of fermentations.
The fermentation processes burn through the plant crumbs like living wild fire. The finer the crumbs, the faster they will be consumed by the fermentation.
The quicker a compost is made the more power it has because there is less time for the escape of beneficial gases and the leaching of essential elements.
As organic matter breaks down, it eventually becomes humus. These tiny dirt bits will have a diameter of less than .002mm by definition. There irregular shape, however gives them a very large surface area compared to their size. Imagine a sea anemone shape. These minute humus particles are negatively charged over most of their surface ,so they attract positively charged nutritious ions like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. The small portion of the humus surface that is positively charged attracts negative ions like nitrates and phosphates. These will make up your humus colloid from your old compost particles.
TThese nutrient packed particles combined with clay colloids can make a super enriched, water storing colloidal humus compost without compare.
