Biochar (10%) and Compost (90%) blend
Compost Mix for Seeds is tailored for optimal seed germination and early plant development, catering to the needs of commercial horticulture.
This specialized blend combines the environmental benefits of biochar with the rich, organic nutrients of compost. It creates an ideal substrate for seedlings, ensuring robust growth in both vegetable and flowering plants.
Our product offers commercial growers a reliable foundation for establishing a healthy, vibrant, and environmentally conscious crop, ensuring a strong start for high-quality plant production.
Key Features
- Optimized Nutrient Delivery: The compost provides a rich supply of essential nutrients, while the biochar ensures efficient nutrient retention and delivery to the developing seedlings.
- Enhanced Soil Structure: Biochar's porous nature improves soil aeration and water-holding capacity, creating an optimal environment for root growth and seed germination.
- Sustainable and Eco-friendly: Made from organic materials, this blend not only supports healthy plant growth but also contributes to environmental sustainability.
- pH Balancing: The unique properties of biochar help in maintaining a balanced soil pH, which is crucial for the growth of a wide variety of plants.
- Disease Suppression: Biochar has been known to help reduce the impact of soil-borne diseases, providing a healthier start for young plants.
Application
Seed planting:
- Fill tray with compost to just below the rim (Avoid compacting the compost too much; a light tap on a hard surface will do)
- Water thoroughly and allow to drain
- Place seeds on top of the compost
- Cover with a layer of compost equal to the seed's thickness (e.g., 1mm seed = 1mm compost)
- Water the tray using a fine rose (Water sparingly, as coir and biochar hold moisture well. If required cover with polythene or glass until seeds have germinated. Check the moisture level below the surface before watering again, even if the top appears dry.)
- Keep out of direct sunlight
