Potting soil growing medium Hortifibre®

wood fiberfibrous

100% RENEWABLE AND PATENTED WOOD FIBRE Hortifibre® is wood fibre manufactured from PEFC-certified softwood woodchip. It is 100% renewable and has the lowest carbon footprint of all of the uncompressed raw materials used in soil mixes. This wood fibre is obtained via a thermo-mechanical process at high-temperature (120°C), which guarantees fibres that are safe to use and of consistent quality. Soil mixes containing Hortifibre® are well-aerated. It appreciably reduces the need to use peat and makes for a lighter substrate, allowing transport and filling costs to be significantly reduced. CHARACTERISTICS -Woodchip sourced mainly from PEFC-certified forest areas -Product sanitised by the high temperature reached during production -Excellent aeration -Renewable -Locally-produced and 100% recycled USES -Soil-mix component used as a partial alternative to peat -Used as a soil improver to lighten clay soils -May also be used as a mulch ADVANTAGES -GROWTH : Superior aeration promotes root development and plant growth -REWETTING : The fibre is water-permeable. This hydrophilic property allows the substrate to be more easily rewetted
