Peat.

Peat consists of dead and poorly distributed plants. Depending on their composition, we distinguish between low and high peat. Low peat, otherwise called agricultural peat, It is sold loose. Better unfolded than high peat, It has a dark brown or almost black color. Is quite rich in nutrients, The reaction is similar to the indifferent. This very valuable organic fertilizer enriches the soil with humus, relaxes too heavy soil, and improves the water capacity of the soil too light, sandy. It can be used in autumn in an amount of 50-100 kg per 10 M2. We do not dump peat, Only mix with the upper layer of soil. Because acquiring it causes more and more trouble, You have to learn to manage peat very rationally. With a small amount, it is better to leave it for seedling, to put on compost or give vegetables particularly valuable. It is a very good mulching material.

High peat is very poorly distributed, so that you can clearly see moss peat moss. It is also poor in nutrients, The reaction is very sour. It is an excellent organic fertilizer after deacidification and power supply with mineral fertilizers. Because it is rare in trade, We use it mainly to prepare the substrate under glass. It can be bought in the form of bales peat or as ready-made substrates and peat-mineral mixtures.

Substrate - deacidified peat with the addition of all mineral fertilizers - it's a ready ground, in which seedling is directly grown, as well as vegetables under cover. Substrates have symbols ST-M-3 and SM-M-4.

Peat-mineral mixtures It is used for soil fertilization in spring in very large quantities (10-40 liters on 1 M2), digging them with the soil. They have symbols MTM-S-10 and MTM-S-20. They are also used to prepare the land for seedling. We then give part of the mixture on 1 part of the earth.
