Horticulture

We offer two grades of peat: coarse and fine. Successful gardening and plant growth depend upon good soil conditions. Health, fertile soil is a mixture of water, air, minerals and organic matter. One of the best ways to improve horticulture soil fertility is to add organic matter. Three markets that we serve within Horticulture include:

• Greenhouses mixes for growing perennials, annuals, and vegetables
• Nursery mixes for growing shrubs and trees in containers
• Landscape growing mixes for where plants will be added/planted

“Peat increases Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and increases the availability and holding capacity of almost all nutrients. This allows use of sand, woodchips and other good low water holding components to be used in the mixture.”
