Soil Analysis

Soil Analysis

Soil testing holds the key to optimising plant health and productivity in a peat-free environment. This integral part of modern horticulture provides a wealth of information about soil health, fertility, and overall condition, highlighting any nutrient deficiencies, EC levels and pH imbalances.

Nutrition in Peat-Free

Prioritising nutrition, particularly when using peat-free compost is crucial. To maximise yields and produce high-quality crops, supplying vital nutrients is key. Peat-free composts typically have lower nutrient levels, requiring careful nutrient management for optimal growth, productivity, and plant health.
