Advantages Of The Peat-based SAB Substrate 0 (Base Substrate)
The SAB Substrate 0 is a product that is used as a base for producing a horticultural substrates. Fertilizer has to be added by the grower before potting.
No liming necessary, pH already adjusted.
Additionally, a micro-nutrient fertilizer is added, as well as a re-moistening device which enables the product to be wettened easier during the cultivation.
Characteristics of the SAB Substrate 0
- High water capacity
- High air capacity
- Good structure stability
- Freedom of harmful substances
- Optimum pH-value
- Uniform quality
The SAB Substrate 0 can be used for:
- As basis for self mixing of substrates for sowing and rooting cuttings (fine)
- As basis for self mixing of substrates for bedding and patio plants in pots (standard)
- As basis for cuttings (shrubs and trees), flowering and green plants in 1-2 l containers (medium)
- As basis for green plants, bromelia and container stock in containers of more than 2 litres
