ABOUT ALASKA HUMUS

Alaska Humus is the ultra-pure, ultra-organic "product" of a very
long collaboration between Mother Nature and Father Time. Unique and highly prized, Alaska Humus is the patient and fortunate result of nearly 10,000 years of post ice-age, real-time decomposition by vast numbers and varieties of microbes throughout Alaska's annual cycles of long, dark winters and extremely daylight-intensive summers. Because of its incredible microbiological diversity (an estimated 35,000 species of bacteria and 5000 species of fungi) and -- unlike manufactured commercial compost -- guaranteed absence of any pathogens, chemical impurities or foreign residues, Alaska Humus is the standard for use in successful and assured humus tea brewing and as an extremely stable, long lasting and very fertile garden soil amendment. In short, Alaska Humus is the ultimate natural "compost". No E. coli*. No chemical fertilizers. No herbicides. No pesticides. No fungicides. No antibiotics. Period. So wherever or however you use this amazing soil, please remember: What's not in Alaska Humus is just as important as what is in it!

In other parts of the world, humus is typically very rare or completely inaccessible. In Alaska, however, particularly in fast-growing areas in and around our home in Anchorage, humus is actually a waste material which must be excavated and removed along with other unsuitable soils and replaced with compacted gravel to comply with local building foundation codes before development can proceed. It is by careful testing at these types of construction sites that we have been able to isolate and stockpile supplies for Alaska Humus Company's customers.

Along with its special microbiological attributes and total absence of inorganic contaminants, Alaska Humus has two other important properties. First, it contains complex microscopic pores which provide the perfect "condominium" living environment for its countless microbial communities. Secondly, because Alaska has an astonishing 56 volcanoes, Alaska Humus deposits have been intermittently layered over time with fine coatings of ash containing valuable plant-available minerals ejected during many eruptions.
