Answer:

soil additive

Step-by-step explanation:

Soil Additive

The three main components of humus are fulvic acid, humic acid and humin. The spongy nature of humus helps it to trap and hold water, this particular property also helps to aerate the soil as humus expands and contracts with available water.
