FAQs

The OMRI-Listed® Solution for Stimulating Soil & Crops 

Huma’s K HUME® OM is a natural humic substances product processed from naturally occurring, oxidized lignite. Humic substances add organic matter to soils—which stimulates soil microbial life and soil fertility, enhances plant nutrient availability and uptake, improves root development and root mass and growth, and increases crop quality and yield.

K HUME OM is a humic substance activated with a potassium coating that becomes an excellent soil conditioner. Improved solubility speeds activity in the soil for enhanced microbial uptake and growth. The product is coated and screened to various particle sizes (the standard size is 1–3 mm, custom sizes are available). It also contains many supplemental natural minerals in trace amounts.

50 lb. Paper Kraft Bags – Our fifty-pound bags are “blow-in” type bags with 2 paper layers and an inner layer of impermeable plastic. Air holes in the bags allow the product to be blown in through an opening in the top of the bag. This opening is self-closing when the bag is filled to capacity. Fifty-pound bags are stacked on 40×48″ pallets for shipping, with 45 bags to the pallet (2,250 pounds of product per pallet. The pallets themselves weigh 50 pounds). Shrink wrapping of palleted bags is available upon request. The bags are a plain brown paper with no printing. Pre-printed customer bags can be filled upon request.

1Ton Mini Tote Bags – The most popular method for shipping our products is in mini-bulk bags, each of which holds approximately 1 ton of product. These bags are made of a synthetic material and are resistant to moisture. The bags are “duffel top”, meaning they can be tied closed at the top. A spout on the bottom of the mini-bulk bags is tied closed for filling and can be opened to allow dumping of the product into a hopper or mixer. Straps at the four top corners of the bags allow easy handling with a forklift. We can ship mini-bulk bags on pallets (36×26″) upon request.

Bulk – Granular humate products can be shipped in larger bulk storage containers such as grain trucks (hoppers), belt trailers, etc. Please inquire if you are interested in bulk shipments.
