سماد خليط مكون من اللَهْم


Explanation:
Hi Nadia,
compost is سماد خليط and it is:
خليط من مواد نباتية تُركت حتى تعفنت وأضيف إليها غالبًا مواد حيوانية أو معدنية، وهو يستعمل في تسميد الأرض
As for Loam, it is usually translated as لهم and it is a localized term of German Origin, that means:
تربة رملية طينية مكونة من رمل وغرين وصلصال على نسب لا تجعل أحد هذه العناصر تأثيرًا سائدًا في خصائص التربة

neutral  MElHelw: Compost doesn't always mean سماد or natural fertilizer. In this context it means what mutarjem has mentioned a mix of soils based on sand, mud and clay. This improves the soil structure for plants. Compost is the short term for composite.
