Product properties

RHP certified Compost is an organic compost made from natural green residual flows such as leaves, grass and wood. This makes it a circular product. RHP certified Compost has a high organic matter content, which makes nutrients available to the plant and increases the water buffering capacity of the substrate or soil. This makes water longer and more easily available to the plant. Since the organic matter content in RHP certified Compost is a food source for beneficial bacteria and fungi, diverse soil life is stimulated. This naturally protects the plant against harmful plant pathogens.

Another major advantage of RHP certified Compost is that its specific weight is up to 250 kilograms lighter than non-RHP certified organic compost. RHP certified Compost is a raw material for Den Ouden Organic's Premix, a peat-replacing raw material for the potting soil and substrate sector. In addition, RHP certified Compost is a soil improver. With three processing locations of RHP certified Compost, we are the market leader that produces various types of circular, peat-replacing raw materials.

Quality

RHP is the most high-quality quality mark for substrates and substrate raw materials. This quality mark not only guarantees the quality of the product, but also of the raw materials and the production process. The result is that the compost is of uniform quality and free of weeds and pathogens. The stability of the compost is measured using the respiration method, which guarantees the ripeness of the compost. Compost with the RHP quality mark is the highest quality natural compost available on the market.

Because our RHP certified Compost is made from green residual flows, it is classified as an A fertilizer for organic crops.
