Harvest soil is used in particular only for the sowing of flower and vegetable bulbs as well as the cultivation of young plants. The small seedlings or young plants have a very specific nutrient requirement, the normal potting soilnot identifies. To make the effort of the first few weeks worthwhile and to grow strong plants from the seeds, it is worthwhile potting soil at.

Which claim does fodder for cultivation have?

First and foremost, it should have a good quality! It is also important that they are germ-free and permeable to water. Seeds that swim in the water, as it were, rot quickly as seedlings. Furthermore, it must be free of any germs so that the young plants get sick in the first few weeks. This applies equally to vegetables and flowers. Quality potting soil contains therefore a certain amount of water-storing materials such as volcanic rock or clay. They will grind fine earthadded and absorb excess moisture. If it gets too warm during the first rays of the sun during the day, the roots get the necessary moisture over these materials. Furthermore, clay has the property to absorb harmful salts of irrigation water. Such potting soil can be used for the miniature greenhouse, seed trays or pots.

That’s good potting soil out

COMPO SANA potting soil For example, it is suitable for sowing vegetables, planting herbs and small cuttings. The light and loose earth also contains a root activator, which ensures that all nutrients are evenly distributed in the soil. This is how healthy roots develop, which are the basis for strong plants and a correspondingly high harvest. Here you will also find the mentioned volcanic rock. In this case COMPO SANA are PERLITE respiratory flakes, which are processed in a special process and thus provide a very loose structure of the earth.

Important ingredients for a strong growth

Coconut fibers are also an important part of the cultivation soil. They ensure the air permeability of the earth, because no young plant can develop healthy, if the soil is already too strong. In the same breath, the moisture absorption is also improved. Although the coconut fibers themselves absorb no or very little water, but they ensure the drainage of irrigation water, and thus also serve to prevent possible overhydration. With these conditions, roots and plants develop much better. The riskDying seedlings can be minimized, even if the quality of the seeds is still responsible for it.

The most important characteristics of the cultivation soil are:

– Sterility
– nutrient-poor or nutrient-controlled
– very fine crumbly, loose soil

Harvest soil from last year should be better buried in the vegetable patch. Within a garden season, germs such as fungal spores may have settled here. Therefore, always buy only as much compost as you need or put the rest in containers or in the flower beds. Improving soil quality can never hurt. So always use fresh sprout soil!

… or Boller potting soil, completely free of peat

Boller fodder for cultivation has also proven itself in recent years. For seeds but also for later pikieren this fine mix is ​​very good. The Boller cultivation soil consists of a combination of coconut and soil combined with a low nutrient content. Environmentally friendly, it contains no peat. Here you can simultaneously use peat-free cultivation pots, which are later incorporated directly with pot into the soil. Thus, the young plants are optimally protected even in the first few weeks from high humidity or soil pests. Only 100% herbal substances and NPK fertilizers are used to balance the mineral balance of the Boller cultivation soil.
