One advantage advantage of Leonardite-based humic acid is its long-term effectiveness, as it does not consume up so quickly as animal manure, compost or peat. As humic acid is completely decomposed, it does not enter into nutritional competition with plants for nutrients such as for nitrogen. This is not the case with incompletely decomposed compost, whereby the organic substances in soil are rapidly consumed up by micro-organisms and mineralized entirely without humus formation." 08-07 Natural Mosquito Control "Biological mosquito control that kills larvae before they become biting adults.
