Nutrients and irrigation speed up crop development, increase crop yield and prevent contamination. For composting systems, nutrients (like nitrogen) can be added in the form of green materials (grass clippings, kitchen scraps), and carbon (in the form of dry leaves, and straw) that can balance the nitrogen.

By ‘lack of humus’ he is referring to the increasing trend, even then, to dispense with returning organic matter to the soil, for example, in the form of composted farmyard manure, that was made possible by the development of synthetic fertilisers.
