[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5101921, member: 17"] The building of humus from repeatedly mowing green manure onto the surface does work. However, it takes a very, VERY long time to build up a significant humus layer if you are starting with virtually no soil profile (old log-loading decks). After 20 years of doing so I found it would build up one to two inches of humus. However, directly below that was still the rock-hard old log loading deck. The humus layer does hold moisture. However, nutrients and moisture will not percolate down into a nearly impermeable layer below. [/QUOTE]
