Humus

Humus is an organic soil that is made from the decay of plants and decay of animals. It is a good soil for growing other plants. It is very good for growing plants because it gives good nutrients, to the growing plant, and it helps keep moister in so the plant doesn't dry out, or run out of water. Humus is very dark in color an dcan even be used not only to help grow a lawn but also make a lawn look better by adding a dark contrast. in the picture is a gardining pot filled with humus. The soil is dark with white spots just like humus is said to look.
