Garden peat pH 5.5-6.5 Aura 80L

Peat-based substrates can also be used to establish and regenerate lawns. Deacidified garden peat can also be used to improve the structure of weak or sterile soil, and also as an addition to composts.


How to use

Preparing the substrate

• Remove the peat from the packaging and loosen it.
• Prepare the remaining components of the substrate, such as: fertilizer, bark, compost, in amounts adapted to the expected capacity of the substrate and in accordance with the cultivation requirements of the plants.
• Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
• Use the obtained substrate in accordance with the planned method of growing plants.

Improving soil properties

• Sprinkle peat evenly on the soil surface, in the case of heavy (clay) soils, in an amount of at least 25 liters per 1 m2.
• Mix (dig) the peat with the soil.
• Check the soil pH.

Making compost

• Mix peat with the compost pile in a 1:4 ratio.
• Cover the top of the composter with a layer of peat, which will reduce unpleasant odors arising during the decomposition of composted materials.
• Leave to compost for a sufficiently long time (from several months to 2 years).

Recommendations

• It is recommended not to use a previously used substrate as an admixture when preparing substrates.
• Peat does not contain fertilizer, and the amount of nutrients in it is trace and insufficient for growing plants. Therefore, when preparing a growing substrate, it is recommended to add fertilizer to the peat and then fertilize the plants. Fertilizers should be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in accordance with the requirements of the cultivated plants.
• To permanently improve the soil structure, peat should be supplied regularly every year.
