Description
Ingredients:
Pine bark (2-6mm). The bark makes the substrate airy and water permeable. The bark does not absorb excess water and keeps the substrate from becoming waterlogged. The bark contains e.g. magnesium, calcium, zinc and manganese. The product decomposes slowly over time, releasing nutrients into the growth base.
Perlite. Heat-treated perlite (volcanic rock) is a pure, neutral, and natural product. With its airiness, it improves the growing medium and thus promotes the well-being and growth of plant roots.
Expanded clay (4-10mm). Expanded clay or LECA also drains the growing medium. Made of super heated clay, it transfers water but does not absorb it and does not break down.
Coir. Coconut retains water well but remains airy. Does not contain fertilizer.
High quality Finnish Carbons Grow biochar (5-10mm). Biochar is a substance that brings airiness and water retention. Unprocessed biochar binds water and nutrients. Biochar is activated, ie loaded, by adding a fertilizer (eg. chicken manure or worm hummus) to the medium slightly above the amount given in the instructions to capture nutrients. Biochar becomes loaded with water and nutrients and gradually releases them to the plant. Biochar becomes a long-acting source of nutrients for plants and reduces the need for continuous fertilization. Once the biochar is mixed with the medium, it is preserved and effective for years. Biochar is a unifying component in the soil that improves microbial and fungal root conditions (mycorrhizae in symbiosis with plants).
