using products made up from the best raw materials.
Thus
guaranteeing optimum
results for all application. We meet the needs of
specialized suppliers and professional horticulturists
as well
as hobby gardeners. Controlled production and strict

checks guarantee consistently high standard of
our products for every type of culture.
Application
This white peat is ideal for producing your own cultivation
substrates, e.g. for special cultivations and acid
loving plants. When used to enhance the soil,
it increases the humus level and improves the storage capacity for water
and nutrients.
