Question:
Answers:
'Humus' is a rich mixture of decayed organic material that is typically high in nitrogen. 'Hummus' is a rich mixture of garbanzo beans and tahini with olive oil and garlic. They are both best with pita bread.
Is it humus? If so, then it is a mixture of clay, sandy soil, silt, and decayed plant and animal matter
Assuming that you spelled "humus" wrong, the answer is 'b'.
Humus is the dark organic material in the soil. It is made up of decomposed vegetable and animal matter and it helps plants to grow essential to the fertility of the earth.
Sandy soil: Soil that is mixed with sand that is porous and used for plants like cactus that need to have room to spread their roots to grow. Does not pack down tight like dirt.
Plant & aninal matter: Old dead palnts harvested for recycling back to add neutrients to the soil when used. In different parts of the US, road kill of deer is harvested and left to decay, bone is ground up and added to mulch piles to break down and use as neutrients as well.
Silt is the mud (or dirt mixed with water) setteling in the bottom of large holding tanks. The water process has an ingredient added to clarify (clean up) the water, eliminating the setable solids by making them heavy and dropping out (falling down) to settle out to the bottom, hence creating silt.
Solids on the bottom of tank which is pumped off, clean treated water go to us.
Since it is usually drawn off of the river or the bottom of a lake, it will smell like fish if fresh; if and when pumped off the bottom of the tank.
It is a rich mud with all kinds of neutrients to add to soil. When dry, it is easy to work with and not too bad smelling.
All is good in the neighborhood when you use what God has made for you. Recycle and reep the benefits of Nature. Hope this helps!
