Humus is what the organic constituent of soil is called. It's dark brown, fresh smelling, nutrient rich organic matter. It's formed from the break down of dead and decaying animal and plant matter, and from animal waste products, in the soil.

Why can only organic materials be composted?
That the animals and processes require carbon- and nitrogen-rich items which can decompose within a year or less is the reason why only organic materials can be composted. Composting requires the natural breakdown of recyclable materials into their constituent elements. The result will be dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich, soil-reminiscent organic matter which is called humus and which is used to feed soils and soil food webs through amendments, fertilizers, and mulches.
