Description
A peat-based base substrate for professional pot plant production. White peat provides structure and a water buffer, a share of black peat adds weight and water-holding capacity, and the fine coir improves rewetting after a dry spell.
The result is a homogeneous mix that behaves predictably on ebb and flood, under drip irrigation and under overhead irrigation, and that runs well through potting machines.
- 70% peat, 30% fine coir
- Limed to pH 5.5-6.2, with NPK base fertiliser and trace elements
- Medium-fine structure, fraction 0-15 mm
- Also available with a different fertiliser level or pH as a bespoke mix
