Peat and Soil

What is peat and its unique properties?

Peat is a unique material formed as a result of a long process of decomposition of plant residues in humid and acidic habitats. Our peat is a 100% natural product that has passed strict quality control and meets all international standards.

Peat has unsurpassed properties:

Improvement of the soil structure: 

Peat significantly improves the soil structure, making it more friable and fertile. It helps to increase moisture retention, which is especially important in dry regions or during periods of drought.

  • Weed suppression: 

The use of peat as a mulch reduces the risk of overgrowth of weeds, which helps reduce the cost of manual harvesting and processing of agricultural land.

  • Regulation of soil acidity: 

Peat has the properties of neutralizing soil acidity, which makes it an effective tool for treating acidic areas and maintaining an optimal pH level.

  • Increase in yield: 

When peat is added to the soil, the microbial process is activated, which leads to an increase in soil fertility and, consequently, an increase in yield.

The use of peat in agriculture:

1

Soil mixtures for growing seedlings

Peat is an integral part of soil mixtures for growing seedlings of vegetables, flowers and other crops. It ensures optimal root system development and increases plant survival after transplantation.

2

Soil improvement in fields and vegetable gardens: 

By applying peat to fields and vegetable gardens, it is possible to significantly increase soil fertility, providing optimal conditions for plant growth and development.

3

Mushroom cultivation: 

Peat is used as a substrate for growing mushrooms, such as champignons, and provides the necessary moisture and nutrients for their development.

Milling peat:

Milling peat is a type of peat that undergoes additional processing to achieve a certain texture and uniformity. It is obtained by mechanical crushing and sorting of ordinary peat. As a result of the milling process, peat becomes a looser and more homogeneous material with improved physical properties.

The main properties of milling peat:

  • High degree of uniformity: 

    Milling peat has a uniform texture, which facilitates its use in various agricultural processes.

    Improved breathability: 

    Due to mechanical processing, milling peat has better air permeability, which contributes to the development of the root system of plants.

    Easy handling and application:

    The more uniform structure makes milling peat more convenient to use, especially in agricultural work, where precision and uniformity are important.
