Product properties

Composted Native Conifer Bark is bark from native coniferous trees such as Pin Sylvester. Adding Composted Native Conifer Bark to a substrate provides a coarser structure and therefore a lighter composition. In addition, Composted Native Conifer Bark is used as a renewable peat-replacing raw material for potting soil. The bark has a high organic matter content, which makes nutrients available to the plant and increases the water buffering capacity of the substrate. This makes water longer and more easily available. The stable quality of Composted Native Conifer Bark ensures that the product properties are retained throughout its entire lifespan.

Quality

Composted Native Conifer Bark has a lifespan of 3-5 years, depending on climate, intensity of use and application. The water absorption capacity of this bark is approximately 50% in 24 hours. Composting the bark ensures that both plant pathogens and (weed) seeds almost completely lose their germination power. This results in a clean product that can be produced under the RHP quality mark.
